Going to NYC!

Photos finally worked!


Between the skyscrapers...

Central Park...

Empire State Building...

First subway ride ever (*note the worried look! Good thing Aunt Whiskey Girl is there.)...

in Central Park...


Still in Central Park...

View from Central Park (We go to the Big City just to find the closest thing to home!)...

I've tried to add photos to the previous post like three times but blogger is being disagreeable, or my computer needs to be cleaned up. One or the other, I don't have time to mess with it right now.

Tomorrow immediately after work I'm taking a plane to NYC. We're celebrating Mentsh and Dr. Who's birthdays. We have a lot of activities planned, and I think we'll have a blast. Unfortunately, I'll be arriving late Friday night and leaving Sunday evening. I couldn't afford to take a day off of work... :(

I'm stoked about getting outside of my comfort zone again. It's been a long while since I travelled. It's gonna be fun, and I'll be with my family!

See y'all later!

I'm in Panama City Beach!!

Mom and I decided a while back that we both were desperate to put our toes in the sand and walk the beach, so we made a pact to head to PCB for Labor Day weekend. One thing led to another, and I'm here with my mom, my sister Mentsh, her two daughters, and my stepmom. We are having a BLAST! This is the first time for the younger neice to ever see the beach. The older one saw it when she was a baby, so it doesn't really count, either. They are becoming quite the little beach babies!

Mom made a new creation on a variation of Fiesta Lime Chicken tonight...it was SO GOOD! We've walked the beach twice, built a sea turtle out of sand, swam in the ocean, had fish nibble at our feet, and went to a beachside restaurant. Tomorrow we're going putt putt, and I'm hoping to convince the others to go the jetski route.

OH! We were driving around and we passed by one of those places that rents scooters, and one of them had two SPYDERS for rent!! I was so tempted, but it's not something the others would enjoy, so it'll have to wait for another trip.

I hope y'all are having as great of a Labor Day weekend as I am!

Happy Birthday!!

Two birthdays today...my brother-in-law, Mike, and a friend, Phil.

Happy Birthdays, old men! I hope you're having a good one!
