Someone wrote me last night and mentioned that I haven't blogged in a while.  I thank her for the nudge!  Sometimes I need that. 

We were on vacation all of last week.  We went to Orlando to Sea World (a new baby Shamu was born 2 weeks before we went - he was born the size of Shaquille O'Neill, they said).  Tim and I also had a very lovely date at the Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba performance.  It's always been a dream of mine to go there.  Tim offered to give me the cash for shopping instead of going to Cirque, but I quickly decided that a cherished memory is worth more than yet another thing.  :)  Good decision; Tim enjoyed it as much as I did.  Cirque du Soleil is located in Downtown Disney, which is a fun place to visit with lots of restaurants and shops (we went a second day so the kids could come.  They love the Lego shop and the shop that sells My Little Pony).  We had a scrumptious dessert at Ghirardelli's.  Oh, that was good!

Coming back home, we went the way of the Atlantic Ocean (the waves weren't high that day, so it looked like our Gulf beaches, only browner sand).  I lived near there for a year's worth of college breaks, so wanted to show the kids some of my old haunts.  We also went via St. Augustine,  which was dirtier than I remember, but it was still good to see the old buildings. 

After a vacation, it's always a little hard for me to adjust to real life once again.  But it is nice to come home to our little place.  The first thing I did was hug the goat.

You better post some pics from that fancy camera of yours. I'm so glad you had such a nice time. You deserve a great vacation. See you soon.

What a wonderful time you must have had and you're right - the memory is so wonderful to have! It's good to see you back blogging. I know sometimes it's hard for me, too. Life gets in the way. Take care and God bless~

Welcome back from your vacation!

Thanks for the tip about the external hard drive. May I ask how that stores your photos? How do they show up on your computer? I am asking mostly because I dislike how the backup CD's store the photos--too confusing, unless I label what all my pictures are, and I am not real likely to do that! ;)
