Our vacation is really going great! Our first day, we headed downtown, and checked out the museums and tours we hadn't seen. They were pretty neat! Here's some pix.

That's just a few. Beside wandering the city, we've been busy throwing the softball, playing computer and just laying around. All in all, it's been a very satifying, relaxing few days.

NOTE: I'm sorry for the change in plans, but I'm changing the deadline for the contest. It will now be November 12. We will be going out of town very soon, so I need to bump it down. If any of you all would like to join, or know someone who would, please post!

For those of you who would still like to enter the contest, here is the info.

Well, today marks the beginning of our vacation! This a sort of kind of different vacation though, because we're staying right here! We're just gonna' lay around, blog , watch TV, you know, all that good stuff.   I had one question for my millions of fans out there. Should I change my current template, to a Narnia template? I have an awesome banner ready if I decide to change the template. Please give me your opinion.   Like the music? It's fine if you don't, just wondering. It's actually sung by Mary Fahl, and is the opening scene in the Civil War movie "Gods and Generals". Comment please!     NOTE: I am sorry for the short notice, but the deadline for the contest is being changed to November 14. I am leaving town very soon, so I need to bump it down.
