The Trip To Texas and Back... AKA How spoiled am i?

So we went to Texas this last month. I am never going back. Oh the stay was nice and all, but there are BUGS in Texas... and Heat... and rain... and I had to get a JOB! Oh. My. Gawd! But it was still fun. Maybe I'll go back if it snows or something, but but beyond that, hell no! My bug bites have bug bites and I missed Epiphany. And I missed the palm trees. And it got muggy and I actually sweated... ew! LMAO. I am so spoiled. Actually I am not spoiled, my husband just loves me that much :)

But we are back now. We are in California again. No, I didn't move to TX. But I have a lovely photo box of CD's to show their teacher next Tuesday. And Mom printed out labels to make shirts with that say "Where in the World is Early, TX?" Hee hee hee.

When we got back to California we spent a day at Sea World. We went to the beach, went to the pool, went to a concert near the bay... you'd think that was the vacation. LOL

Now the boys are in sailing camp! They have 5 days of sailing lessons with a class of kids. They are having a blast! Really, you'd think we spoiled them! We're having a campfire tonight with smores and I am enjoying getting to walk the beach every day again. Next week I'll start adding updates on school.

The dockmaster here at the cove said that he'll be calling us "soon" about a live aboard slip. I wish I knew what soon meant. I am so excited! I can't wait to get that slip! WOOHOO! Soon-ish we'll be live aboards! I'll be a spoiled rotten beach bum! Oh wait, I already am!

Also next week will be the start of me working on selling items on eBay again. I am hoping to bring in more money to help pay off our bills faster. Then we can be debt free! That would be VERY nice!

I better run for now. I am going to go have lunch with the boys.

Here is a pic of the boys waiting to get into sailing camp. They get to learn how to sail all week long! Will update the blog later. We are back in ca!

Here are the boys at the Nimitz museum in Fredericksburg Tx. Where we are staying we do not have internet or cell phone coverage. I will update as I get coverage. The regular updates will start up on the 20th of August. Until then...

Oops, didn't update...

The last update never showed up! That's okay, here's a quick run down.

 

We went to the meteor crater and then to the Lowell Observatory in one day.

 

We went to the Grand Canyon and it was beautiful, just like last time. Very beautiful!

 

We drove to New Mexico. Today I picked up my van. I will have to post pictures when it isn't raining anymore. It's SO COOL! It has the front two seats (driver seat/ passenger seat) the two seats behind it turn in a 360. Then there is the back bench that turns into a bed. Behind that is a CLOSET! WOOHOO! The two front seats lay down flat to make a bed with the two back bucket seats. I will definitely be posting pictures of it tomorrow. I love it!

 

Tomorrow we'll be heading to TX. I'll try to post an update during the trip stops.

Here is Mendel with his sculpture. It is so strong that it can hold up this skillet full of pancakes (approximately 4 pounds)
