she sells sea shells...

Well, only one more week and we will finally be leaving for vacation!! wahoo!!

 How was your vacation? Did you go to the Mountains? Did you go by the sea? Was it a family one? Or did you and your honey get to sneek away?

We will be going to Door County again...it was so much fun last time..we will be joined by DH's brother & sister-in-law..sans pets... it will really be a fun time!

I really miss the beach.. I remember all the shells we collected as a family when we used to live in Savannah Ga.. What is your favorite vacation memory?

Thought I'd share some inspiration as to what to do with all those shells you might have collected on your vacations... What do you think about the ladies?? Fun!

Ciao Bellas!

love trains..

We love trains at our house... I think it was such a romantic way to travel!

This past Sat. the boys and I went to the train museum..

We were able to go for a ride... tour actually 'retired' trains..from front to back!

  Would you do it? Would you travel this way again?... I probably would...

  This is a train they call a 'Big Boy' it is HUGE!! #1 stood by the wheels...and it was almost as tall as him...

{ oooh.. pardon my bad hair day! lol}

We are in a vintage Pullman car... it was actually quite cozy..wonderful brass elements.. soft woolen blankets..

 Tickets for the day...$10.00..train ride..$10.00.. enjoying some of Americana history..priceless..

Ciao!!
