Honey, we're home...

We've just returned from Florida and I am now beginning to work through the inevitable withdrawals. Therapists recommend sharing fond memories of the recently departed in a room full of strangers- but you'll do. We spent the first night in Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach at the Hampton Inn on Centre Street. I can hear you now-"wooHoo Hampton Inn- high class!" but you're only acting like that because you didn't get to go and obviously you've never been to THIS particular Hampton Inn. Even if it had nothing going for it but beds to sleep in, its very proximity to Centre street makes it the best stay in Amelia-(though I am sure the Ritz Carlton has its share of perks too.) But it happens to have a lot more going for it, and some best hotel rewards to boot! I love to stroll down Centre. The marina and train tracks at the end of the street seem to indicate that all roads lead to Amelia. The touristy shops are always fun- my favorite being " Last Flight Out ...

Aunt Nicki the Barbie Doll

When "Santa" picked out Logan's Barbie dolls, I specifically picked the "Beach Fun Summer" doll because I thought she looked just like my sister n law (and future wife...inside joke) Nicki. I thought I'd wait to mention it to Logan until a while after presents were opened and we had started playing with the dolls ( so that I didn't give away that I was the one to pick the doll out) I thought I'd just casually observe "Hey, this doll kind of reminds me of Aunt Nicki- dontcha think?" Would you believe that she came running in with the doll telling me "Hey, she looks like Aunt Nicki?!" before I ever got the chance. She did... she noticed it without a hint. And she really does look like Nicki (but she isn't as nice as Nicki) See for yourself: SUMMER

Eat the Moon

Have you ever wanted to taste the moon? The moon was so close and so beautiful on Christmas Eve- it looked as if you could land on it with only a small hop. Someday I fully intend to get a proper camera.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is new pyjamas, a Christmas movie and cookies for the kids. It's an assembly and wrapping line and where is the TAPE?! for we adults...

Rock Candy Conclusion

We have been working on making sugar crystals (Rock Candy) as a science project for about a month now. On Sunday, we concluded our growth period and "harvested" our crystals... next week we will explore teeth cavities in depth!
