Happy Birthday to Hunny!

The birthday that I had been dreading came and went, and I SURVIVED!!!  My daughter planned a little party for me at the Wildcatter where we got to celebrate with family, good friends, and good food.  I am so blessed by the people that are in my life!!

And even thought I won't admit it to often, being the big 5-0 has not been nearly as bad as I thought.  I don't feel that old most days, so it's all good!!

Water Park Fun

After returning from our vacation, Gabe & his family were here for a visit in July.  Because of their schedule, it is harder for them to come home very often so it was nice to have them here!  I had been wanting to take the grandkids to the water park so we decided to go while everyone was off work. 

The kids had a blast, and so did the adults! The water felt great in this Texas heat.

Vacation 2011 (Part II)

Our next stop was St. Kitts where we toured the capital city of Bassetere and the beautiful Romney Manor Gardens.  (This estate was originally owned by Thomas Jefferson's great grandfather.)

We also stopped at Brimstone Hill Fortress which is perched on a 40 acre hilltop.  It rained while we were here, so it got quite humid.  The fort was so amazing and well preserved. 

We also stopped at a scenic point which was beautiful.



The final stop was St. Maarten where we went to a butterfly farm.  It was a contained area where they are raising and protecting butterflies.  They were absolutely stunning.

Then it was back to San Juan and a very long day to fly back to Miami and on to DFW.  We were surprised to be picked up by our daughter & son.  It was a wonderful and amazing experience, but as always it was good to be home.
