I hate to leave this blog dangling without an end like I do most my blogs, so for my last entry, I will share with you everything I did for my 12-day birthday/going-away extravaganza. Reviews of all the venues follow.  

The night before was amazing fun. Well, I think it was. OK lets rephrase and start again. The night before was more than amazing, it was what happens when everyone arrives in a good mood, determined to have a scream. That's exactly what happened. So, imagine waking up early the following day to go …

Independence Day fireworks at Foster Point on Hickam AFB, Hawaii.  This was our last fireworks while we lived in Hawaii.  One year the base Services hired the local Hawaiian band, Ka`au Crater Boys to play on July 4th which was a great treat since we really enjoy their music and have seve…

Although it's located less than an hour away from my house, I've only been to Marineland three times.  Once when I was younger, once about 5 years ago and then again in April of 2008.  My cousins, Brad and Jonathan as well as their parents, Uncle Brad and Aunt Vickie were in town for the …

The day of our meetup had arrived.  We all had been talking about the excitement and not sure what to expect since this was our first meetup ever.  After that night I know it won't be my last.  I can't wait for the next one. Sister and I had been running late all day.  Alo…

The intense red pink and orange hues of the Gibsonton, Florida sky at sunrise and sunset are mainly caused by scattering of sunlight by dust particles, soot particles, other solid aerosols, and liquid aerosols in the earth's atmosphere. These enhanced red, pink and orange colors at sunrise and suns…

Many people say it is very easy to travel in South East Asia. I can see why- getting around is convenient and many destinations cater to foreigners. But for many reasons, this was the most challenging trip I've ever done. I had a feeling it would be before I left, but I wasn't sure how the cha…

It was a thirty six minute flight from Miami to Tampa and is was very uncomfortable. The plane was to warm!! At least our luggage made it back home with us.   It's always good to get back home.

So this was the big move weekend.  I had been ferrying a few things up to my parents for them to store (important papers and the like), and some of my furniture is being used by my sister and brother-in-law in their new house (and had already been moved a few weeks prior).  I had also sol…

Oh! Too much light!! Too bright!!! My eyes!!! Haha, it was 6am and we were arriving to New York, actually it was New Jersey. Better – a new city to my collection, haha. Karl, Katey and I left the plain at same time, but we had to split before doing customs. They are American Citizens and I 

This place is just huge. I really enjoyed taking sometime to walk around and check out all the local items for sale. I think I was a bit mislead thinking that this would be a true farmers market. there were aspects of the market that I really enjoyed, and other parts that I felt were a bit too comm…

Ah I love it!! I'm settling in at the resort late my last day and who calls but Sheila?! She's got Ragnar in the car and we chat away for about 30 minutes! They managed to meet up for a bit in Atlanta - 5 solid hours of driving away from where I am. AND have I mentioned yet that there's been an iss…

You asked for it, so here they are!  Several photos from my wedding.  I hope you enjoy them!

Originally a small mill, the Tredegar Iron Works grew and helped the city of Richmond become the center of iron manufacturing in the southern US.  The capacity to produce contributed to Richmond's choice as the capital of the Confederacy when the Civil War broke out. The Tredegar Iron Works i…
