Our Vacation in Pictures

Before leaving I had a few days home. My major accomplishment was the cleaning of the laundry room. I found it important to mark the moment, because for a short period time every article of clothing was washed, ironed, and put away.
I hope to re-do my laundry room one day. Imagine the cupboards removed (I can't reach them anyway over the machines). The machines stacked on the left side, and the right side filled with floor to ceiling shelves for things like laundry products, linens, or the recycling. I think it's a brilliant use of space!



I'm still not good at taking vacation pictures. Here's the only one I took at Epcot. It's from the car on the way to the parking lot.





Here's a picture of Cape Canaveral. If you look in the distance,( you may have to enlarge) you can see the jut of land where the space center is. We went out the first day the shuttle was suppose to launch. I was excited to see a launch up close. It's old hat to Jeff and Audrey (our niece who came with us) They've seen a bunch of 'em. They used to get out of school for them. Apparently you can see them all up and down the coast. But we made the drive up to Cape Canaveral to get an up-close view. Like I said, I'm all excited. I knew we'd be able to see it from where we were, but someone asked if we'd be able to hear it. A guy turned around and said you'd be able to feel it. Now I'm really excited! I call my Mom! 35 Million Horsepower!! The clock is ticking!! And Then! ....then ...then people start leaving the beach.

Lots of people start leaving the beach quickly. Jeff jumps up, mumbles, "let's go" and starts heading back to the car without looking back. I trot to keep up, still hopeful it might go off. But no... After my huge disappointment we got stuck in a huge traffic jam. bummer.

We later heard about the actual launch on our drive back to Georgia.


Upon arrival back in Georgia, we enjoyed a lovely July 4th feast at Mom's. Lots of yummy stuff. Pigs in a blanket, deviled eggs, delicious cake. And all of it oh-so-patriotic. Mom does know how to do holidays.




Here's another picture of the vehicles we traded in. You can see Jeff seems a bit sad to let the motorcycle go. He never rides it anymore, but I think he liked having it, just in case he wanted to.





I think that pretty much catches everyone up to date on the comings and goings of Jeff and Georgia. I'm not even going to promise to be a better blogger this time. Clearly I can't keep that one. If anything note-worthy happens, I'll be sure to slap it up here, but amazingly, I go days and days without anything exciting happening! Go figure.
