I last left you in Belgium! I have now made it back to Colorado (see pics below) Since then, the Travel Blog website crashed & everyone's blog was lost, mine included! Hope you enjoyed; it was as fleeting as the trip. (Now, apparently 21 of the 22 entries have been restored) So, some closing comments & highlights! First of all, thanks to all of you for spending time to check in with me dur... Read Full Entry

Complaint comment
Well I am a little distressed that I was unable to win the Best Blogger award, becuase I am pretty sure that I might have even beaten out my dad, and as far as it was a tight close for seconded between me and Uncle A..my dad even agreed that I definetly beat out Uncle Aaron. I clearly wrote more blogs than he did. Even if you are talking about quality vs. quantity.

Sorting through comments
1. Grammatical note-kinda is actually kind of (sorry buddy; I am a teacher). 2. We all know you haven't actually strangled Sadie. yet. 3. Your ways confuse me Alex? First, shame for Wikipeding (although I'm guilty as well); remember Blackle is the wave of the future. Yes, you are correct that the pyramids are the only of the original 7 ancient wonders still standing; did I imply otherwise? At the Colossus of Rhodes are two deer statues where the foot prints of the statue once stood stradling Mondraki Harbor (supposedly; as historians continue to question the accuracy of it all).

Best Blogger Niece Award
goes to Sarah Margolin! Uncle Aaron in his deceitful ways sent me several notes via regular email, so I'll have to review the decision with the judges to find out if that's legit. for best blogger runner-up.

Nick & Sydney
You may have to track Nick down in Sydney; shouldn't be hard-follow the flock of ladies. Did I misspell Ug, Ugh, Ugg? As for skiing, thanks; I'll send photos. Will you be on the slopes? And how goes the college search? Are you still going or have you changed your sites to be "swing shift" manager somewhere?

Time For The Blog To End
Steve, As always you brought smile and (controversey) our house with your lastest and greatest blog entry. The Best of everything was a wonderful finishing touch to a fabulous summer of guessing and adventure. I thank you for winning the Best Blogger Award (even though there was much disagreement in our house) and for the double visit you had this summer. Looking forward to seeing you again and the best of luck in the new condo. I will be in touch. To keep in the spirit of your last blog entry I would like to end with a little poem::There is a rhyme by Clarence Day which says what I want to say: 'Farewell, my friends-farewell, and hail/I'm off to seek the Holy Grail/I cannot tell you why. Remember, please, when I am gone/'twas aspiration led me on./Tiddly, widdly, toodle-oo/All I want is to stay with you.' But...here I go. Goodbye." Kuralt's final words as host of Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt. Thanks for wonderful adventure-This Houston control signing off!!!!

o0o0o0o0...I guess I thought the column jawn w/ the deer on top was supposed to be the Colossus of Rhodes...I comprehend now. That's what I get for jumping to conclusions. I don't know what you mean about being "swing shift" manager, but that definitely sounds more appealing than college. No, I kid, I kid...we visited Tufts...it was great...awesome location, too. Though now I'm convinced I won't get into Cornell OR Tufts, which would be royally depressing. I think I'll try skiing in Ugg boots. Oh, and I've always wanted to go to Australia ;0

best blogger
Keep in mind, i think that my private comments should count towards the best blogger since most of my comments were about that other blogger Sarah something or other and i did not want to make her feel bad as to have shared my comments with the rest of the travel troupe.

Aptly earned
Worthy of your award, graceful final words. The double visit this summer was very nice, and I have indeed felt a little Kuralt in me from time to time. Regarding the house controversy, sorry about that; as Josh knows, I don't like clouds of controversy. Maybe a Margolin family trip someday?

I protest Sarah's best niece blogger award. She is your only niece and thus has no competition. However, she should get a reward for having the best smiles and expressions (which she might get from her aunt!). Additionally, her comments were thoughtful - well maybe she deserves the award. thanks for sharing your travels with us.

Response to the "private commenter uncle"<--Uncle Aaron
Well I am sorry but as far as I am concerned private comments cannot count. The comments that count are the ones that everyone sees. So sorry Uncle Aaron but I am afraid you lose, and I have nothing more to say on this matter. I won an award and I failed to see where Uncle Aaron's award is?? But I am gonna be the bigger person and say this.. Love you uncle Aaron! =]

It's True
Sarah won an actual award-best blogging niece; whereas, Uncle Aaron only got honorable mention.

Genetic Thread
Upon closer examination of Grandma and Michelle's blog it's quite ovious that the "Best Blogging Niece" is sounding very much as her Aunt and her Grandmother. Visually she is beginning to look a lot like the both of them. I hold no grudges receiving honorable mention.
