Just want to know one thing...

Why are you so precious?

Oh Bermuda...

Since this will be the first year in a while that we won't be doing our annual family cruise, I wanted to take a moment to look back on our previous cruises to Bermuda.  I really do love it there.  The people are always nice, the scenary is to die for, the weather is beautiful.  And the rum cake ain't bad either!

Thanks to the wonderful world of skyping...

Our family was able to say "Hello" to our cousin who is off in foreign land for business for the next 2 years.  I thought when we said farewell to him last month that would be the last time I'd see his face for the next 2 years but not in this day and age of technology.  It was nice to be able to say hey and wish him a early Happy Easter.

((hello there))

An ode to lovely weather...

Ahhhhh Spring seems to finally be upon us.  This kind of weather just relaxes me and puts me in such a good mood.  It also makes me crave all the fun things I can do when the weather is nice out...

Hello Spring.  I welcome you with open arms!

A Toast to Matt and Jackie!

Yesterday, my cousin Matt popped the big question to his girlfriend Jackie and she very happily said YES.  I think we can say this was the best birthday she ever had.  I just wanted to take this moment to officially welcome Jackie to the family (though she's already been a part of it - now we can officially say it).  Congrats you two and all the best in planning your big day!

A little AC getaway

((we have arrived))

In honor of the last of my "single days", my family and I took a trip this past weekend down to good ol' Atlantic City, NJ.

((Caution:  You may lose your money ahead))

We stayed at the Trump Plaza.  Pretty nice hotel.

And we had this gorgeous view from our room...

((a room with a view))

After a nice (and well needed) massage, I decided to take a stroll down the boardwalk to check out the sites.

((pretty buildings))

((the place that took my money))

This casino has some nice landscape.  I wish I could have taken some shots of the inside of the casino because it was really cool.  Damn no photography rules.

((welcome to Bally's))

Then a took a little detour down to the beach....
