It was sunny and nice. We are on the road to Tallahassee for the night on our way to Orlando for 5 days. It felt like we were there for a week. We expected to wake to rain/storms this morning. There was a system coming out of the Gulf that was huge and traveling North East along our driving path. Guess what? Once again we stayed out of it. It didn't hit NOLA so we started in sunshine and traveled behind it all the way to Tallahassee. We didn't see any rain until Tallahassee ... read more

This weekend I will be traveling to Savannah, Georgia with my twin sister and some pretty fun lifelong friends. Let's meet them.... Cheryl Well, for those that do not know Cheryl, she's my twin sister. Even though she is 7 minutes younger than me she is the baby of the family. When we were growing up we would always eat dinner at the table every night. We would all tell stories at the table, watch the news and sometimes we were still at the table when Wheel of Fortune came on. My family is funny! We would laugh and laugh every night at the dinner table. It was never a dull night at the dinner table. So, truth be known, our parents instilled having fun into our DNA. Cheryl and I have been on countless family ... read more

If we don't have it we can buy it..... Three iPhones, 2 laptops, an iPad, a kindle and an iPod. I think we got the all the electronics covered! Our day has started off pretty smooth so far. We picked up mom and dad and we are headed to Jacksonville to catch the first leg of our flight. Dad is driving us over to Jacksonville and he will come pick us up when we get back.

We will arrive Monday morning at 8 am. Edinburgh is 5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time so we will be arriving at 3 am 'our time.' I have ... read more

Well having an extensive wardrobe has never really been my thing. I have outfits for the right occasion but I've never been accused of an excessive wardrobe. Pretty sure the folks in my circle have all my outfits memorized. For those that do not know Jeff (my husband) and I have a 9 years old and an almost 12 year old. I have been working from home for abut 8 years now. I do not need actual clothes to drop the boys off at school or when I attend their sporting events or when I go grocery shopping. I do have a rule that I cannot drop them off in my pj's and I have to have a bra on. I've got standards you know. My wardrobe choices are more along the lines of which color ... read more

Washington DC as the US capital has lots of government buildings, national institutions and shrines- it has some similarities to Canberra but on a bigger scale. The highlight for me was attending the 50th anniversary of the Martin Luther King's march and famous speech - President Obama spoke at the ceremony as did former presidents Clinton and Bush- I was there from 12 noon to 3 pm along with 100,000 people - I was about 1 mile away from where Obama spoke on the steps of the Lincoln memorial but there were big screens and speakers about the place - it is interesting that the event was co-ordinated by the National Parks and Special Services- I bought a tee shirt as a memento of the occasion. I also visited the various memorials in Washington and traveled ... read more
