no pot of gold...

it would have been a full circle, if the wing wasn't in the way!!

from my flight back to richmond from winston-salem. we were following a thunderstorm.

project runway

there were reports that it was switching to lifetime, but it looks like it is still on the bravo channel.

my first flight

i was scared, terrified that i was going to throw-up, and even more excited. i luckily had the smoothest flight ever, and have since learned that it really, really was smooth. i didn't feel sick, and got to sit up front for the best views ever.



co-pilot... (yeah, right, best seat on the plane!)



the clouds are awesome. there are many more photos, i was a little camera happy.

camping, again

a couple of weeks ago we drove out to camp kittamaqund to go camping with the girl scouts. this camp sits on the wicomico river. almost in reedville. this time we slept in tents... and loved it.



after ryan fought for the good tent with the amazing view of the river, she thought it was better to hang out in our tent. karma got her back when her zipper broke, but after making fun of her for a bit, i did manage to get it closed so they wouldn't be attacked by bugs at night



the sunsets over the wicomico river were fantastic. see why we fought for the tent.

check out more photos from our camping weekend here.

i almost missed it!!!

i am not sure how i let it get by me... but weeds has already started. luckily i have been able to record the 1 episode that already aired and i am on top of it for the rest of them... Weeds night, anyone?

hot weekend

we went to the pool this weekend for a birthday party. it was the perfect day, since it was so hot out.

we happened to be in the ryan's dad's neighborhood so we stopped by to see the kids...


amalya, novia, ryan, noriah

ryan hasn't seen the new baby since she was born, so she just held on to her the whole time we were there...


and she didn't seem to mind.


novia who is not shy at all loved taking pictures, and amalya who is generally shy with me and ryan, what not so shy this time!

our fairy

tonight was a nice evening. after we finished dinner, we decided to go back down to the beach to fly our kites. we have had our fairy kite since last year, but didn't really get her up in the air until yesterday. it was very exciting!

well, today... i lost her. i had it hooked to my chair and i moved to take a picture and she flew off, into the ocean. it was very sad to see her go.



ryan flying her spongbob kite!

we luckily found a website that sells them and were able to find another one just like her. so she is on the way!

beach day one

we claimed our little spot.


we flew the kite.


we went in the water, but there were lots of jelly fish. this was most relaxing...


we wore matching hats!

coney island

on our way back from connecticut we stopped in at coney island. here are some things that i saw...

astroland...


not sure i really want to ride this... but just might have to this summer!


i do want to ride this one!!

hmm? this could be interesting

this was a show for sure!!

my camera's zoom rocks... (i pretended to take a picture of my mom for this one)

of course we had a nathan's hotdog while we were there. we actually got it from the board walk instead of this one, but i hope to go back and get one from the original shop!
