Blogging does not come natural... not by a long shot.





Nova, Mike, & Maddie wanted to post some silly pics for a friend. Like any serious blogger I grabbed those pics for this post.

I know - not my kids best shots, but it does highlight Nova's new braces and glasses. I have given up making any promises about this blog. Take it as you get it is my current stance. Although I am feeling an itch... so i may do some scratching and back fill a few highlights.

Camping at Disney

I was there as a kid, but c'mon can you really call camping at Disney camping at all?

That place has everything you can imagine... including heated bathrooms; nearly unlimited hot water; housekeeping services including firewood delivery....

P.S. That was the best shower I have ever taken... pressure A+; heat lasting like for an hour A+; men only (my only negative mark - I could not find "a family" restroom with a shower to save my life)...

Camping at Disney... $46 a night... each site up to 10 people... two families camping for $23 a night... where do I sign up for a lifetime membership.

We got a new tent. The vacation home is the name. 7 foot ceiling; 4 rooms; took a bit to figure out how to put it up at first... I estimate from open to up in 15 mins next time. It was down and in the bad in about 7 mins. (Not bad) I just need to get some cots for the kids... sleeping on the floor is "so not" Disney camping. We have an inflatable mattress with its own pump to fill when the pressure decreases. Wow - helping Frank move really paid off...I got that plus a great bottle of Jamaican Rum which I promptly re gifted to an alcy I work with... he still thanks me months later.

Catching up...

I was just checking all my friends blogs... It has been a month or so... some very exciting stuff!!

I loved all the back to school pics. Debra and I are gonna get on the band wagon. Our kids are back in school just a week.

I wish I had a picture of Mike's mohawk. It was a summer thing... he resisted me at first, but then did not want to lose it for back to school... (It was way cool... I always wished my parents would have done a summer "hawk" for me...)

HD TV

I saw "The Tourist" on a 70" HD TV. It was pretty annoying.

If you have a high def TV and the option to watch this movie... check it out. The whole movie was cut (meaning scene exchanges) in a very different way and it was hard to watch.

The host told me that it was because I do not have "a recent" HDTV...

Tampa -- Fort Myers -- Key West = Utopia

We had a wonderful trip in Key West, FL to celebrate Nova's 10th birthday.

The boat trip was awesome. We drove to Fort Meyers and then took the boat to Key West.

The trip highlight was snorkeling on south key reef and enjoying the island feel that old key west offers. Since we did not have a car, we made use of walking, city buses, and occasional taxi cabs to get around.
