Justin and Grandpa

---

Monday, 1 June:
My wife and I don't start our real vacation until Wednesday, so I have two days with my grandson Justing, my daughter Serena, and my son-in-law Jeremy. Somehow on the way up from Pensacola, a rather large crack showed up in the Jeep's windshield. After getting the windshield replaced, everyone but Jeremy, who had to work, went to the Greenville Zoo for the day. Although the zoo is fairly small, it did have a nice assortment of animals, including elephants, giraffes, and lions. The place was well-maintained and nicely laid out. After a couple of hours wandering around the zoo, we ate lunch at a nearby park/playground, where Justing and us big kids had some fun, then headed home.

The new HD video camera is great, but until I get a newer version of Adobe Premiere Elements, we can only see the videos on the camera or an HD tv. Today, we're taking Justin to Monkey Joes to have some fun jumping. Grandpas aren't allowed to jump though . Manoli and Serena went to the store for a while, just so Grandpa could watch some Sesame Street and play with Justin's trike. After lunch, we headed to Monkey Joes. Monkey Joes is the biggest indoor play spot I've ever seen. It has 4 regular "jumping rooms" and 3 gigantic inflated climb and slides. Justin and Grandpa (and even Grandma a couple of times) had 2 or 3 hours of fun together. Well, tomorrow we start our vacation, going to Mason's Mine to find rubies and saphires, then spend the night at the Cherokee KOA.
