Abridged Vacation

So let us begin. This blog seemed like such a good idea at the time. However, I am finding that updating Facebook is so much easier, because I can do it from my phone or my iTouch. I haven’t updated it in the past two months.

Betsey’s mom came down a week before we went on leave. She was able to see the kids one more time prior to them spending the summer with their mother.

We left for leave on a Friday morning, and stopped just North of JR’s in North Carolina. We met Jennifer. The kids were happy to see her. They left with her, and we checked into a hotel. The next morning, we finished the trip up North.

While we were on leave, I had the opprortunity to see two baseball games. One at D.C. vs. Toronto, and the second was in Baltimore vs. D.C. Both games were good, and it was nice to see the stadiums. For the record, the Nationals lost both.

I prepared for my “new” career while I was home. I want to spread pixie dust for the tilt-a-whirl, or bark for the Yak Woman. But it didn’t work out. Instead, I made funnel cakes, and fresh squeezed lemonaid. Thinking about it, have you ever met the Yak Woman? Ugly as sin, but a nice woman, and she sure can cook.
My brother Jerrod flew North, and my mom drove up and we had a mini-reunion and spent the 4th of July with family and friends.

After the vacation up North, Betsey and I decided to go South for the weekend. We went back to Disney. We stayed at All-Star Sports. It was a nice place. We did Tea at the Garden View Lounge. He had dinner at Yachtman Steakhouse. On Saturday, we went to Hollywood Studios, and had a great time. We had lunch at Mama Melrose’s, and dinner at Jiko. All four places were fantastic, and I highly recommend them.

Well, that’s all I have to say now, but with some luck, I will have Betsey update with some of her stuff.
