Summer Vacation 2008

Well, I just had two awesome weeks of vacation! I flew from Maine down to Virginia and spent a few days in Fredericksburg. Though my time there was limited, I got to see so many friends! From there i went to VA Beach and got to meet my cousins new wife, and hang out with an old friend. Next I drove down to Topsail Island, NC... there I met up with about eighty family members from my dads side, and we all stayed at the Villa Capriani (a great resort). It's always great catching up with family, I really had a great time, and I can't wait to get back down to VA (and TN) in October!! Anyhoo, I'm going to post a few pictures, but all of them can be found on my myspace page!

July 4th, and my new camera!!

I had a GREAT Independence Day! For once I didn't have to work, so I actually got to participate in the events! I spent the day with one of my best friends, and my dog. We hung out at a festival... you know, watched the parade, played some games, and of course.. ate some fried dough! It was such a beautiful day, I even got to see fireworks for the first time in years! Oh, equally important, I got to use my brand new camera all day!! (Canon SD850 IS) I love it! So, here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure! Oh, and I added some more links for ya to check out!

Trying out the firework setting!

Cute kid at the parade, the mother wanted me to take a pic with the special setting. lol
I love this one.. it's just so nifty. =)

I took a drive out to Lands End with Gixxie... it's so peaceful down there.
This was after Gixxie went swimming, so yeah, she got me completely soaked!!
This was her reaction!... but who could be mad at that face?
