Museum Junkies

We have found out at the.... last of our trip to France that our Family can do Museums!!! WE waited a little long, but we have made the descoverey none the less. WE are becomming Museum Junkies!!! WEll we did the SULLY section. That was the Mideivel, the Ancient Greece, and The more Rescent Egyptian section. (like 300 B.C or so) we are scratching more and more off our lists... we are ALMOST done!!! yay! It has been quite the adventure. maybe we will write the DaVinci Code II! ha ha. This Pillar type thing was as high as the Cieling. it makes huge look small. OMGSH. We were impressed with that, but when i learned that was the "starr on ntop of the Christmas tree" i was drop jaw. Then in the next room there was one of the Bases to one of theese things. It was like the Redwood. You probably could drive through that thing!!! Then, we saw a sign that there were like 70 of theese things lining the Courtyard of Adrian's Palace. AHHHHH!!! You had to be there to see it. That thing was honking big. whew!!! We saw numerous mummies, little jars etc. And i got this shot as we were walking out that i am verry proud of. (wink!) The It was so stinking hard to take pictures because there was so MUCH glare!!!!! but that's ok. It was another SUCESSFULL day!!! The reason for that is we got Rogan anstroller @ the front Desk. That was really Helpfull. I love Museums!!! well enjoy!!! xlovex, Leighs

oh my goodness!!

These pictures are so fun to look back at. Some serious laughs. ;D These are some French friends of ours. They are hilarious. This was in Normandie. We were all on a big Family Vacation together, and one day, iwe decided to go back out in the field out back, and just play.i snatched the camera on the way out. good thing too. i took about 120. ya. we got a little crazy. i had to post some. I have been DYING to for too long. they are probably going to kill me fo doing it, but hey. whatever. The reason they are funny is cause they did it all themselves. They posed... something i did not expect. They got so silly. lol. They are little rascalls. all of them. But you know what? i love 'em. They think they are a Boys Band. What a crack up!!! well, have a great Week end!!!
