As you can tell, my choice of music when I am thinking or playing with hobbies is the same. Enya. I do miss her when I am away.
I can finally say I had a vacation. It was fun, but exhausting. Not because of the trip, but because of the company. I attended the trip with Steve’s big boss and wife. They are REPUBLICANS. Need I say more. My “keep your mouth shut” attitude did wear me out. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the fringe benefits.
A beautfiul hotel down in the middle of Galvestion. The Trenton House. Luxury that surpasses any Holiday Inn or dare I say Hilton. It was a remodeled historical hotel. Of course, it had the touch of history, but it was not like Nottoway where you actually felt like it was a trip back in time. It was just pretty and a little yuppie.
The best thing about the trip was the ability to take pictures and visit the pyramids. Now that I know more about them, then I would love to go back and visit the ones we did not get to go to. We went to the Rainforest one. It was an actual rainforest inside a giant greenhouse. The concept was very educational. I would love to have brought some young students through it. They would have been overwhelmed I am afraid though. I will try to convince my own children to try to work it into their lives.
We did visit an IMAX theater. It was a 3d movie of the ocean. I was not sure if it was computer generated or not. It appeared to be very realistic in a way. It was interesting, but I think it was geared for the children. It was actually a lesson in disguise. (It also was an environmental show.) Surprises me that the wife was so gung ho it. As much as she condemns the liberals, she was very pro environment. Guess it was the teacher in her.
I also pulled my usual stunt of trying to do something I am getting too old to do or do not dress appropriately for doing. I was taking lots of pictures (in fact, as I write I am downloading them…30 minutes) While doing it I was trying to get down where I could actually be close to the animal I was trying to take. Of course, I lost balance and fell on my knees. No I did not fall on the animal…which my oldest son was afraid that I had. It was embarrassing enough..but I would have been mortified if I had hurt the animals in any way. Until another day. 😉
