January 1st - January 20th....we're playing hookie from school.
Researching retirement is a tough job! The kids are absorbing Vitamin D, playing basketball and water volleyball everyday. I think that counts for Phys Ed and Health? We're enjoying loads of discretionary reading time. I'm not letting them skip their online classes each day, so they're not completely off the hook! I'm re-evaluating our goals....both their high school goals and my retirement goals. Somewhere in between I plan a job! Yes dear, a job that pays instead of the 15 years of volunteer work I've been enjoying!

 It's the best field trip we've ever taken! What a sunrise view! Some clowning is just not funny to a mom. We had a gorgeous week with warm, dry days and magazine cover scenery. Pictures just don't capture the breadth and depth of God's magnificent creation. |

My kids had an unlimited ride pass for all the thrill rides on top of the Stratosphere. I was done after one! Off to the National Parks, where the thrills are more natural!

Blurry because mom is shaking!
They are spinning so fast, the camera couldn't catch them! Their view as they are hung and spun 1200 feet above the city.....off the top of the Stratosphere.
From the top of the Stratosphere we have a great view of our 1/52 ownership; a 3-bedroom condo on the top floor of the Hilton....the 1st building in the forefront of the Las Vegas Strip. We're at the "quiet end" of the strip, which we like!Posted in Travel

Today we're watching all the cruise ships leaving port and sailing past our beach, including the re-built Disney ship making its voyage back to Cape Canaveral.
Family Bike for Five....we're cruising the Boardwalk!
And to end our vacation we were treated to the Blue Angels air show right off our balcony.

We're in Virginia Beach for the weekend.....staying beachfront on the famous Boardwalk. Despite high winds, the Navy Seal Leapfrogs made a sunset/night jump landing right on the beach in front of our hotel balcony. The beach was lit up with flairs and the jumpers had "fireworks" strapped to their feet, making sky designs and formations as they fell. All 18 jumpers landed safely right in front of us.
Camera crews and crowds gathered on the beach and Boardwalk, but we had the absolute best seat on our 3rd floor balcony. I don't have my video camera with me, but found a video of a daytime jump by the same team earlier this year. Awesome show for the last night of vacation.
