Where is the Girl??? part 1

Here is Megan and one of her room mates getting ready to leave.

Poor Megan had to start this trip sick.  She is was loaded up on med's but it didn't make her flight any easier.  When she gets sick she tends not to eat anything, which just makes the whole thing worse.  I haven't heard from her yet today but I am hoping she is feeling a little better and enjoying her trip.  She has worked to hard for her to not enjoy it.


Here she is getting on the bus.  With her new sweet shirt and jeans, she reminds me of my Mom.  She even has my Mom's cold hands.  Megan calls them death hands.

So where is the girl today.

Today they will visit:
World War II Memorial
Washington Monument
Arlington Nation Cemetery
Kennedy Gravesides
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Changing of the Guard
Challenger Memorial
 Custis Lee Mansion
Wreath Laying Ceremony
Vietnam Veterans Memorial - where she will look up cousin Rogers Dad
Vietnam Women's Memorial
Holocaust Museum
Einstein Statue
FDR Memorial
Jefferson Memorial

It makes me very tired looking at this list. And this is just the fist day.

New Addition to the Family

We picked this up the other day so that Megan could take it on the trip with her.  It is such a cute little camera and we got a killer deal on it.  My old trusty Fuji just won't take very good pictures anymore.  It really has out lived itself.  I don't think it was ever meant to take the thousands of pictures that I did with it and I couldn't have asked for a better camera.  The second Fuji that I bought just is to bulky to take on a trip like this.  And there is no way she was taking my Nikon.

So welcome to the family.

My Baby is Gone

You may remember a couple of years back I did a daily post of "Where is Anthony."  Well, I am doing it again only this time it is called "Where is the Girl."

Megan, my baby is off to Washington DC, Philly and New York.  She is fight a nasty cold and has a double ear infection.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that the plane ride isn't to painful. 

I can't believe it is her turn to go on this trip. Just think, next year, high school.

I will post a daily list of what she is up to starting Sunday. Tomorrow will just be traveling. So, please say a prayer, that her trip is successful and she is feeling better. You can also say a prayer for her group of friends that she was sharing her pop with. Hopefully none of them catch her cold.

King

I found this picture of King on my camera, not sure who took it. 

Still Editing

Here are a couple of pictures of Jason.  I am having a good time with my new photo editing software.

Found Picture

I decided to start doing a little photo editing.  HaHaHa.....a little photo editing, I have hundreds of pictures to go through, edit and get on disk.  I found some pictures I was supposed to have gone through and printed for people.  Opppps.  It's just a little over whelming looking at over 300 pictures from one soccer weekend.  But I will get them done today.  I have to, because I have about a month before I am taking pictures of the next big soccer weekend and will have another 300+ pictures to look at.

Let me be clear about this.  The 300 pictures is from just ONE soccer weekend.  I probably have over a thousand soccer pictures from 2010.  I don't want to even think about football.  Anthony's wrestling season was cut short so probably only a couple of hundred from that. 

Anyway here is a picture I found that has nothing what so ever to do with soccer.

Remember a little while back I told the story about taking pictures of the kids while they were standing on the frozen river.  The picture I posted was a close up.  This one you can see the river.

HeHeHe, the Grandparents should love this.

Jason's Birthday Party

Wow!!! This is really late.  His birthday was back on February 14th.

Jason really wanted to go to Chucky Cheese and it was after all the last time Joey would be here for his birthday.  Chucky Cheese is over 2 hours away.  Since we are such cool parents we decided what the heck.

So we loaded up two cars and away we went.  The ride down was fine, of course the boys watched a dvd all the way there.  I had the boys and Megan.  Steve had Anthony and Kegan.

We had a great time, except for the stalker who followed Megan around.  We took turns keeping an eye on her.  You have to wonder about older (60ish) men who show up at these places with no one with them. 

Steve's cousin Roger and his friend Julie came to celebrate with us.

Roger asked, how many tokens to you get for $20.00.  We said about 5 minutes.  We won't even begin to figure out how much we spent in game tokens.



The older boys even got in on the fun.

I really wanted to stop by Barnes and Noble for a book I have been wanting.  It went ok, until Jason and Joey decided to check out Selena Gomez pictures on the magazine rack with out telling anyone where they went.  The ride home, not so much fun.  Megan and I were a little over stimulated from the whole Chucky Cheese experince.  And the boys where over stimulated, tired, caffeined up and sugared out.  They fought and argued all the way home.

It's all just part of the fun.
