VACATION'S OVER

Well, sorry it took me so long but I tried to stay away from the computer while I was on vacation. It was tough, but after a day or two I got used to it. I'm back to work now and feel like I never left.

Some of the things we did on vacation were.............pictures to come

Saturday, my little "sister" and I went on our first outing together. We went on a 14 mile (well maybe only 12) bike hike on the Eastbay Bike Path. It's starts in Bristol and goes all the way to East Providence. It was fun. We had lots of time to talk. Sue Sue (what she likes to be called) almost got run over a few times. We still haven't learned the biking rules of the road. She was tying her shoe and just ran into the road in front of a speedster! Ahh!! After catching our breath we stopped for an ice cream cone, there's a cute little place on the bike path right next to a Dell's Lemonade stand. After that we stopped and picked up some corn and went home and swam in the newly renovated POOL!!! Yep the pool is ready! All in All the first visit with my new little "sister" went great.

Sunday was a journey to Six Flags. We piled into my little matrix with a few neighborhood kids a drove to Springfield. Roger and I followed closely to the roller coaster maniacs. It usually takes me a few hours to get up my nerve. Once I did, and as I was waiting in line for the wooden roller coaster, it started raining!!! Not just sprinkles either. It was monsouns and thunder and lightening! We had to seek shelter in a little "Funny Hats" gift shop for at least an hour. Once it stopped raining, we trucked around for a bit to see if they would reopen the rides. Of course, if you ask a staff member they don't know what is going on. After the 2nd hour of walking around, we overheard someone say there was another storm coming through. We decided it was time to go. When going through the turnstyle, we opted not to get our handstamped (why?). As we were approaching the car, the rides started running!!! Can you believe it? The boys were so disappointed. Oh well, we still got home at 9:30 because we hit traffic.

Let's see rain Monday, Tuesday, yeah finally the sun came out Wednesday! Got to enjoy the pool for the rest of the week and work on our tans. I picked up my little sister again on Friday and we hung by the pool again. She really loves to swim.

Wednesday, went to see Celine Dion with Sue V. Laughed like hell on the way up listening to some comedian. Laughed so hard I cried and couldn't see the road! The concert was good, had a great time and always lots of laughs! "what the heck is that smell"

Saturday we had a cookout, it was our 15 year anniversary! No one drank my martinis because they were too strong. So I had to drink them!! It was fun, got to see some old friends and some new.

Sunday was OMG nurse this hangover day. I dragged butt and Roger cleaned up.
