It’s been a whole year of nifty stuff…
This past year has been our first in our new home. I love the views from the back porch in the winter. The views from Texas were okay, but they consistently lacked character— there was no beauty…
Living in the Chattanooga valley there’s lots to look at.
My/our vacations have always been to Chattanooga, or to a relatives house/home somewhere. It’s never really been to anywhere, with the exclusion that we went to Gulf Shores with my dad once and we had a great time.
But this year, when I was asked to go Daytona Beach, I was a little reluctant to do so because of money, but ultimately I decided to go. I was dreading the drive and I was skeptical about going, but we went, we drove and we got there and it was so nice.
Between my mom, my sisters and Becca they found and picked out this place where we could all stay; a place where everyone had their own room— and everyone had their own bath. It was a nice place. It was much nicer than I was expecting. The place was a condo on south Daytona, on the 11th floor; the view was great.
Hearing the ocean and having the view was all worth it…
We were spending few days in Chattanooga, and we decided to go to Lookout Mountain and visit Point Park.
This is from our friends daughters birthday party. Maddi was turning one… When we got there it wasn’t that bad, but it was getting warmer; It was close to 100 deg by the time the party was over. Luckily we had some covering and a good breeze.
Here’s some pictures of the other kids… they were having a great time shooting the water pistols… Shooting their parents.
When we went down there it was already around 90 degrees outside; this is only May.
The Dallas Arboretum grounds looked outstanding[...] there were so many flowers and trees and just a bunch of special areas. It was the perfect opportunity to catch some nature pictures. It was funny- the squirrels must be just so happy in there… They were everywhere and they were having a ball… Even with people, they seemed very comfortable getting close.
We walked around for about 2 hours, but as the day went on, the heat was really starting to set in, so I think we cut it a bit short…
These pictures were taken with my little black camera; my little AIPTEK 8mp / 720p HD video camera. It’s not a high end camera, it’s so simple. One button picture, one button video – easy. I was surprised at the quality of some of these shots. There were a few that didn’t make it, but here’s the ones that did make it.
Enjoy!
