Memorial Day Fun

Tim, Rachel and I took a trip to the zoo! As always, Rach had a lot of fun seeing the animals. It was a treat to have Daddy go with us today!

Our Anniversay Trip & Lessons Learned

Tim and I got back from our 5th anniversary trip on Saturday. We had a great time in Charleston and Savannah. Here are a few shots...

Ingredients to make 10,000 chocolate chip cookies (USS Yorktown)

Lessons Learned:

1. If someone asks you to visit their "resort" and listen to a presentation for gift certificates to restaurants, free carriage rides, and free admission to a plantation. Say no! Oh, the free stuff is legit and we got a nice meal for free and a carriage ride for free but we had to sit through a 90 MINUTE sales pitch for a time-share thingy. Totally not worth it.

2. Always, always, always bring a spare car key with you on vacation. We lost our car key somewhere in the pits of the Bass' home (or somewhere in Savannah) and had to pay to have someone make us another one.

3. Don't expect your child to come running into your arms after you've been away for a week. Rachel didn't want to come to me when Tim's mom brought her home. I almost cried until she didn't go to Tim either. Oh well, we're back to normal again.

4. Bread pudding is very yummy.

Finally, my tummy grew exceptionally while we were away. It may be due to too much yummy food and desserts.
