Tomorrow, we are headed to Orlando for a week's vacation. We will pick Kaelyn up when she gets out of school and then we will head up straight from there. Tomorrow is Kaelyn's birthday so it should be quite an exciting birthday for her. She doesn't know it but Rach and John are meeting us up there and will be vacationing with us until the middle of next week. We are taking up quite a few presents that have been shipped from here and there and from various family members. Not sure when "that" part of the birthday will happen but I'm sure we will have pictures to post. I decided that since we are going on vacation, I would do an "oldie goldie" post of our first "real" weeks long vacation as a family. Kevin and I went to Scotland in 2006 but Kaelyn was only 10 months so she stayed in Fl with Nana. In July of 2007, we exchanged our timeshare for a cabin in Virginia within driving distance of Washington D.C. We packed our days pretty full and really enjoyed it. So... here are a few "oldie goldies" of vacation 2007...
We actually all flew up to Delaware first and rented a car where Kevin worked for 4 days and Kay and I just hung out. Then we headed for Virginia. On the way we stopped at Ft. McHenry in Maryland (the fort where a battle in the Revolutionary War inspired Sir Francis Scott Key to write our national anthem for you non-history buffs). :)
We spent a couple days just doing things at the resort in Viginia but most days we headed into D. C. to see the sights. This picture was taken in front of the Lincoln Monument but facing away from it toward the mall and the Washington Monument. I love history and tend to be very patriotic so this vacation was totally my thing - and Kevin's too for that matter. We're both a little nerdy like that. :) If you double click on the picture to make it bigger you can see that Kaelyn has Jr. Asparagus from Veggie Tales "dangling" from her mouth. :)
This was a picture I took of the three of us on a sidewalk out near Ford's Theater. Look at little Kay-Kay. She still looked like a baby there - okay she was two but she sure has grown a lot in three years - so have Kevin and I! : D
And Ladies and Gentlemen... (drum roll please)..... I do believe I have actually just done a complete blog posting. Fortunately or unfortunately, my pictures of the day have kind of given me the itch to start blogging again but you know what that means - too much blabber about things no one cares about.

Who says no one cares. Just cuz we don't say much doesn't mean we don't love all that "blabber".
