A little Rock Band
and a little Cypress Gardens. What a nice day it was on Saturday. We went with Ashley and PJ to Cypress Gardens. We have been there too many times to count on your hand, but it was their first time. The alligators and turtles were out today because it was so sunny and warm. We didn't see our usual 3 legged alligator that we normally see...although we didn't boat to the other side of this guy...he could have only 1 leg on the other side. We also didn't see Frank. Frank was a great guy that use to do a lot of the facility work at the Gardens. When ever we would go he would chat with us for a while and tell us some neat things about the Gardens and how it was used for films (The Patriot, The Notebook, a few others I forget right now). He would also give us tips on living in the area. Well, we went there and he was gone. He was transfered about 2 months ago...which is the last time we were there. The guy they have now was so annoying...repeating himself and taking way to long to get the boats loaded...bummer.

Trip to MA

We had a great trip back to MA. Everyone was really surprised and it was fun to just spend time with everyone. We had a beautiful day when we arrived...then it got cold! We missed the 80 degree weather that's for sure! The kids are getting so BIG!! Georgia is so funny...like a little gorilla or caveman. Lynsey is so independent and loves to play Littlest Pet Shoppe and Cole is so big with missing teeth and everything! We got to see him off on the school bus...I can't believe how fast 6 years went by. We also spent time with my mom and got to meet her friend Bill. My mom will visit in November, so we opted to stay at the Tashjian house! It was nice to spend a lot of time with my sister and her hubby Mike. We also got to see Jenn and her hubby Mike with her little prego belly and Alanna, Chris and their 3 angels.

Not sure when our next trip will be. I have recently discovered Spirit Air where the flights are so cheap!! They only fly out of Myrtle Beach though...almost 2 hours away. I have to say though, some flights are as cheap as $10...so driving 2 hours is worth it! With that price we could even do a long weekend or something.

Hurricane

So I find out today we most likely will have a hurricane day Friday. It is pretty funny...basically like a snow day back in MA. It is only suppose to be a tropical storm and possibly a category 1 hurricane. Hanna is suppose to hit later on Friday afternoon. They have to shut down the bridges over 40mph due to wind force...it can get really windy on those high bridges. So, basically it's like riding out a snow storm. Prepare for power outages and stay off the roads. No evacuation is needed at this low of a category. I guess it will be kind of like Bob...I think that was the name of the hurricane that hit MA one year. I think we actually went outside to watch the wind and rain...crazy!

Rock Climbing Trip

So, John is off on his first real rock climb here in South Carolina. It will also be the first time that we are apart since being together. It was kind of strange having him leave this morning knowing I would not see him for 3 days. I know to some of you that may sound silly, but we spend most if not all of our time together. We talk many times a day and can't wait to see each other when the other gets home. So, you can imagine it will be strange for me not to have him home or to hear from him as much as I normally do. On the other note, I am so excited for him. He went with some work friends to Table Rock in the northwest part of the state. It is considered professional development if you can only imagine! What a job! Anyway, he will be taking lots of pictures of their climbs and camping adventures, so be sure to look back for pictures. Hopefully next time, I will take the plunge to climb the real rock...for me right now, I am sticking to the wall!
