Family Vacations

Each and every year since I have been married the hubby and I go on a family vacation/reunion.

He is the youngest of 5 and our entire blended family comes to stay in one house. Brothers, sisters, mommers, nephews and wife.

If we weren't so close knit it would be sheer hell.

We spend the week playing Shanghai rummy, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Zombies, etc. Good thing we all like playing games!

Stress comes and then leaves as soon as it comes. No bickering, no arguing, just trying to figure out what to eat for dinner with a minimum of 4 vegetarians at any given time.

I got lucky to marry into a unique/ open family. I can't imagine what a family vacation would be with my side.....

Count your blessings while you can!

Guest Book

This past week we went on our annual family vacation to Galena, IL. If you have never been you should try it. We rent a couple of houses in the territories and have a lot of fun. The landscape alone is breathtakingly beautiful. Not to mention most houses have a hot tub. Bonus!!!

The house my hubbies mom stayed in had a guest book. I always have a great time reading what other people have written and this one was no different. I thought I would share the funny entries that people have written. Enjoy!

This one is funny for what was erased. Underneath a list of nine women's names is the phrase: "This place needs more whores." I wonder who wrote/erased that little gem.

"If I had a nickle for every good time I had in this house I'd have like TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS AND THRITY FIVE CENTS." (That is 547 incidents of 'good times'!)

OK, this one is funny for the THI MI SHU LEE, PHAM LEE, AND FUG LEE. You figure it out...

This one confused my because of the Nation Waffle Association addition. Any ideas?

Other than reading the guest book we spent our days playing corn hole(it is a game get your mind out of the gutter), cards, shopping, crocheting, drinking, Trivial Pursuiting and hot tubbing. Now I am nice and relaxed to head back to work in two weeks.

Leaving on a jet plane....

Today it is our fourth anniversary.  What better way to celebrate then heading out of town.  We are off to Atlanta (or Hotlanta as I like to call it) in a few hours.  We are going to spend most of our time relaxing.  Only one event is scheduled.... A trip to the aquarium!  One of my favorite places to go.  We haven't been to that one yet, but can't wait.  We are even paying the extra for the Titanic interactive exhibit.  

I better go and start to pack.  I wonder where the minkees are........
