Part of the trip to visit my mom was to get her on board with some new technology. She did a great job… I tend to hassle her about having old electronics and she was a good sport to try and upgrade, I do think she’ll be happy once she remembers all the stuff I told her. We got her setup with my old iPad and a DVR. She is of course playing Angry Birds and now watches some of her favorite shows without using a VCR! Yeah Mom… and yes, my kids didn’t know what a VCR was.

Of course if mom got my old iPad then I got a new iPad. Woohoo! While I was getting everything ready for her I browsed a few apps and I’m sort of in love with Flipboard. If you need a slick way to read the web check it out…

It was a good trip… but it’s nice to be home.

Heading home. It was a nice visit and we are all sad that “vacation mode” has to end… Although I’ll miss my mom, I won’t miss the traffic! Yikes… and this was at 10a.m. Isn’t everyone at work already?!

I went for a walk along the Rio Del Mar beach this morning and I saw three dolphins jumping about like I have never seen before! They were splashing and jumping around like crazy… You can tell they were active because I caught them on my crappy phone camera… If I’d only had my nice camera. Oh well, it was still very cool!

Hugs and Missy live the good life!

Grandma had a party for number two, of course family and friends came over which was nice…

My oldest won this slinky while she played lots of games at the Boardwalk. We are all hoping the slinky breaks before we head home because she is making us nuts with it! it might just “diappear” before we get into the car for six hours again.

Of course we headed over to the Boardwalk. My youngest who is crazy for roller-coasters had a blast! we love coming in August because all the kids down here are in school so we get an empty park.

We made it really far on day one this year. Yeah! However, I ate too many gummy bears to keep from being bored… oh and that was after a nutritious lunch at KFC! It’s vacation though right? Now we just get to chill by the pool because it is HOT! Gotta rest up for more driving tomorrow…

We had a very nice day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. My oldest played arcade games while my youngest rode this ride over and over again!
