Halloween!

Last night was a blast! Eden dressed up as a pirate...as you can clearly see...and we hit the burbs. The trick-or-treating isn't good in the historic neighborhoods where we live. The houses are all on hills it seems and so far apart it makes for a lot of walking. So we go to a suburb where they really get into it. They deck out their garages as haunted houses, decorate their porches and the candy is awesome! You should see it...there are little ghosts and goblins and witches scattered everywhere. And parents are all out visiting...it's one huge Halloween block party. Hope you had a great time, too!

Our vacation

We spent a week in Florida again this year with an intent to see other parts of the country on future vacations. But what can I say...I love Florida and I think the rest of the family does, too. The fact that Disney is there could have something to do with it but we spent our time on the beach this year and absolutely loved it. So much so that we purchased an oceanfront condo! Well, a week's worth a year anyway! We did two days of Disney parks, a water park, a Universal park and the boys went to the space center. To them that was the highlight of the trip. Eden and I did girly stuff like lunch and shopping and pool lounging. Suited us, too! Greg was fortunate enough to strike up a conversation the a NASA space guy at the pool and learned of a rocket launch postponed from a few weeks ago. So they got up early and checked that out from the beach. I'm not an early riser...but I wish I would have that day. Here's a picture of the beach in the early evening, the rocket launch, and one at the park. Enjoy!
