Trip Update

We are having a wonderful time so far on the Europe cruise!

We got to Barcelona on Monday and met our Friends the Smiths at the airport then headed to the ship. We were very tired.

The first day we spent in Cannes, France walking around, we saw where they have the film festival and the beach.

The second day we spent in Pisa and Florence. We climbed to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa and toured around Florence.

Third day we spent near Rome, we went to the Lake and then went to a winery tour, beautiful.

Today we toured the Amalfi coast near Naples and went to Pompeii to see the ruins.

Tonight we are going to see the Stromboli Volcano.

Tomorrow we have a day at sea which we are spending at the pool and then on Sunday we are in Venice!

More to ocme soon!

Vacation!

Starting today we are heading to Europe for two weeks! I will try to post a blog while we are away with a picture maybe, we will have to wait and see!

Lots of pictures to share when I get back!

Finished a project finally!

Finally, after what seemed like forever I finished a knitting project! These socks were fun to make and I am still in love with the color yellow right now. Perfect for all of the gray days we have been having here.
And they have this great cable detail up the sides, which was a lot of fun to do!

Have a great weekend everyone!

These toes are ready for travel!

For Mom's birthday today we got our nails done. Don't they look cute.
We are all ready to travel now!

New Camera!

I got a new camera yesterday and I am in love! I got a Canon SX200 IS and it is great so far. I needed a new one for Europe next week. My old camera decided a few months ago that it was tired of taking pictures, it wanted to grow up to be a video camera only. I was able to get it to take pictures eventually but last weekend it decided to have nothing to do with photos, so I got the new one. Then of course the old one has now decided to take pictures again!

Anyway, with going to Europe next week I wanted something with a better zoom than my old camera and boy did I get it. See this picture of the playground across the street was taken at full zoom!
And here is the same park with no zoom, so cool right!
This camera also has a Sunset setting on it!!! One of my favorite things to take pictures of are sunsets so it is like this camera was made for me! Well now it's off to do some cleaning and preparing for my trip, more great pictures soon!
