Cooling off in the pool at our hotel in D.C.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.....Stretch Limo Included!

These are some highlights from the New York leg of our vacation.  I'm sure there will be more once we get photos from Aubrey's camera uploaded.  Our vacation really did involved about every kind of transportation.  We flew into New York, took a limo to our hotel in Times Square, rode the Amtrak train to DC, then a taxi to our hotel there.  We also rode the Metro (subway) one day to go to the Arlington Cemetery and then another plane flew us home.  Oh, and did we ever WALK!

There's No Place Like Home

After two days in NYC and four in DC, we are convinced there truly is "no place like home". We will be boring all of you with stories and photos from our trip for months. And be looking for our Top 10 Vacation Highlights that we are already compiling. We are flying home tomorrow afternoon.

Home from Dance Camp - Hungry and Tired!

Judy and I went to watch Kaitlyn perform and bring her home from dance camp.  She was front and center in both of her routines today.  The Bravettes worked hard and represented well.  They all won blue ribbons in the three routines they perfomed with girls from other teams.  They won one of the "Superior" dance trophies and their home routine won 2nd place over all.  Way to go, ladies!  

When it was all over, the first thing Kaitlyn wanted to do was eat at Applebees.  The second, sleep all the way home, then go to her room and sleep all afternoon.  Oh, to be young again!

Getting ready to perform a routine

 Go, Kaitlyn!  Go, Kaitlyn!

 The Bravettes were one of 4 teams that won the Jumbo Spirit Stick

It's a blow-up one, LOL!
