My daughter (4th grade) just had one of her drawings displayed in a school art exhibit.

Better than I could draw lol...
Add a sense of humor, which could be yours, a few other characters, and you and your daughter will be putting out Junesbury calendars and comics (replacement for Doonesbury). That drawing is excellent!

Heading to Maine today to spend a week just relaxing and doing nothing. Then going to Central Mass to spend another week doing nothing.

I love Maine, have fun!

At the end of June we're headed out for a couple of weeks, going to spend most of that time on the white sand beaches of the Florida Panhandle, and then a few days on the way home stopping off in New Orleans.

I got quite good at doing nothing around here.  One of my complaints to my wife about traveling is we both like it here just fine.

We're off to Vancouver in July, my twins birthday is then, and both will be there.  They'll be 35, both doing well, one moved from AUSTIN to C-bus recently.

Maybe we should move to Austin.

Have fun in Vancouver! We were just there last Sept. Very cool place. 

If you get a chance, head down to Victoria for a day.

We've been to Victoria before, probably won't again.  We did several tours of Vancouver last time we were there, my daughter had just moved so it was interesting for her.  She scheduled a boat tour this time.  We had some pretty good food there also.

I booked the flights in coach but we've been upgraded so far to Comfort, hoping we might get FC on some segments, we go through Toronto going out, nonstop coming back.  Flights have been so packed of late upgrades seem to be rare.

Ahh, if you've already been to Victoria, probably no need to go again. 

We did a seaplane tour while we were in Vancouver as well... Not cheap but very cool. 

Chinese & Japanese food in Vancouver is spectacular, if you're into that.

Sounds more like you need to move to C-bus.

We did a sea plane tour last visit.  Have not been to Whistler, talked about it, she doesn't have a car.

We just had Thai for lunch at a new place near us.  We both like Asian food a lot, have two superb Indian places here in walking distance.  But no French.

Where is a place you've been and would really like to return to and spend more time?

For me, I always enjoy Zion NP, but I'd say Glacier NP because when we visited it was too early, the GttS road was still closed, and it was very overcast and we barely saw much.  My wife would probably say Rome because our stay there was quite short though we had a solid tour.

We have a tenth anniversay upcoming and I offered to take her to a really upscale restaurant and she suggested a brief tour of North Georgia, again, which I planned.  She likes Dahlonega, and can even pronounce it now.  We're also staying in Blue Ridge which I don't know at all.  They have a train ride there we might do though it's a bit pricey.
