Day Two of 2012 Vacation

Not sure why we are laughing but my guess is this should be picture 2 but I had the camera off the first time I took it!  Oh well it works for me!~
We had to have something fun to do while we were waiting in a scary place.  It wasn't so bad in daylight but not that great either.
Our very weird rental car.   It was a Prius. It is a hybrid, no key needed to start!
Here is a view of the dashboard...if you look in picture about it is at the top of the picture to the left.  weird!
Right out of the gate we hit a toll booth,  and yes everyone is in the cash only line.  The other lines I guess you pay for with a credit card and every time  you go through your picture is taken and they bill you.
The Big Dig...yeah not a favorite place of mine it goes on forever.  Didn't know it when this picture was taken but if the tiles are blue, (like these ones),  you are under water.  If the tiles are brown you are under ground!  Scary!  If you look close you can see a little more of the dash board telling how fast we are going and how charged the battery is!
A cool building...not sure why there is only one car, because there was cars everywhere!

A little bit different angle of the building...and no cars...weird!

One more shot of Boston before we get to all the cars maybe!

I love the road from Boston to Plymouth...it is all tree lined so beautiful1
I think I was trying to get the cars and the trees all at once here.  We pretty much didn't go over 45 if we went that, even though speed limit was 65, cars were bumper to bumper almost the whole way!
I was so excited to be able to say that I've been on South 3.  Wow one of the first highways ever build!
Yep trying to document it again!  See that big 3!
A windmill!
Our Hotel The John Carver Inn
The room was so nice compared to last night so I took pictures.  The cozy chair by the fireplace!
The wonderful desk and dresser!
The nice soft very high up bed!
The bathroom was even cute!

The fancy shower curtains
Complete with cute tiles in the floor!
Once we got in and got settled we headed out for some food!  We ended up at a place called Percy's Place! Time for some more just the two of us pictures!  Oops wait I have my reading glasses on...
Nope your eyes were closed!
Ok well that is a little better....for  you!

It was a cute place...here is a look!  All the staff were really nice and it was clean and yep we liked it tons!


The original Courthouse is the white building on the left, and the church is one of the first build in Plymouth

The Mayflower II built in 1959...story to follow later!
Picture of Atlantic Ocean
Another view!
Cute little houses across from the ocean
All the boats moored in the bay
Just moored no one on them that we could see anyway.
They are everywhere.
Our first view of Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock is only about half of it's original size mainly due to people chipping off souvenirs.  They finally built a fence around it to protect it. 
The cross walks are painted green to highlight them for all of the tourists.

Some more cool houses and a park that we can't remember the name of.
This one is important can't remember it's name either.

Another view of "The Rock".
The date is stamped on Plymouth Rock.  If you enlarge the picture you are able to view it better.


Taking pictures with the cell phone to send to my kids.

The story of Plymouth Rock

We then went out to dinner with the Duffy's and the Pierce's no more pictures for the night that is weird!

Day one of 2012 Vaca

 I found it it be very interesting.  Very nice patchwork quilt!
 Some of the cute fluffy clouds
 Yep a little bit of a wing picture!
 Couldn't resist a picture of us on the plane!  Pretty scary looking right?
 Some more landscape pictures...
 And my favorite the circles outside Denver...
 The Sunset!
 New York, but the plane was too bouncy at this time!
 One more try...yep still to bouncy!
 
 A little later should be good right...nope!  This is a picture of the moon and it was pretty cool looking but way to much turbulence for pictures!
 Here is next day pictures of the Four Points where we stayed.
 Back to day one of Vacation, well the place was pretty creepy and run down.  Neither one of us could sleep at 3 a.m. we were both awake still, finally drifted off and then the room was bright so we thought finally we will get up and get started and it was only 5 a.m.   I was freezing and had my tiger blanket with me....
 ... but going along with the pioneer story I was reading I had a very thin worn out blanket that barely keep you warm. It is after all about 33 years old.

 Now Tim on the other hand...going along with the pioneer story I was reading has a nice thick buffalo blanket, to keep you warm.
 His Tiger blanket is only 32  years old and not nearly as worn out as mine.  So I have to admit I stoled it from him somewhere in that 2 hours we were sleeping and it was like have a nice thick buffalo blanket!  I think I read way to much!
And that is the end of day one!  Nothing to exciting!  Just 6 hours on planes!  Fun!

Finally~~~

 See they are really yucky!
 I'm guessing they are about 15-18 years old if not a little older!
 Here is one done and one not!
 Tim cleaned off the counter for me to take a picture...must not have known I already took it! ;o)
 The finished project!!  They are not what I wanted but are growing on me!!  And much better than we had before!!
Looks great hon!  Thanks for all you hard work!

Oh Yum!!!!

Ring of Fire May 20, 2012

 A little closer.
 A little later through the trees....yep seeing spots...Ethan and I both were ;o)  We couldn't resist looking!
 This time I put my sunglasses over the lens and looked through the camera!  Looks better this way!
 A little closer!  Well Ethan was looking with me then I put the camera down and the sun almost blinded him!
Yikes sorry Ethan! 
 Austin eating next to Aunt Tabitha...leaving his food all over the place!  Yep they chose to sit on this side of the table so they were not tempted to look at the sun!
 See Tabitha cool new hair clip!!  What's that you say??  It looks like spaghetti o's.  Interesting?
  Once more through the sunglasses and tree!
 A little closer.  It was really cool coming through the tree but I couldn't get the tiny rays on the camera!
 A little later!  Close up!
 Totally missed it this time!  But nice picture of the leaves ;o).  Ha,ha,ha!
 Ok a little later with sunglasses.  I think I caught it!!!
 A little closer!
 Just a little later!! How fun it was to be able to capture this on my own camera!!  Just think if I can get this what a professional photographer got!!
