I can't believe that Spring Break is half over! So far, it's been VERY busy. My cousin Lynn and her family came in on Friday night and my brother Dan was in town. We went to Tampa (everyone except DS 1 who was on the red-eye flight back from LA) and visited there. DSs 2, 3, and 4 and I spent the night there so we could go to DS 2's soccer game on Saturday. I am always amazed at how my kids and my cousin's kids get along...it's as if they are neighbors and see each other all the time. They really do seem to enjoy spending time together.
The game was great. It is a tournament that has been going on for about four weeks, this was the second-to-the-last game...and they won 2 - 0. DS 2 had quite the fan base: His Proud Mother, 2 Grandma's, 2 Uncles, 2 First Cousins, 2 Brothers, 2 Second Cousins, and 3 Third Cousins (I guess you keep numbering them that way). It was fun.
On Sunday, DS 3 and I left for Georgia where I had two days of training for teachers. He was a great help at the workshops...although he may have been a bit bored at times. I think it gave him a glimpse of what his mother does when she is away training teachers. We stayed in Cherokee County and in Hall County...both north of Atlanta...and so close to the North Georgia Mountains...that we decided to go there last night. We went Gold MIning in a small quaint town called Dahlonega. It is a GREAT little place. We had a lot of fun just spending time together.
Today, Wednesday, we are going to go back to Florida...for the rest of our Spring Break...and I am ready. I miss my dh and my other dss.
The end of the week will be DISNEY! We are going to meet my cousin and her family and go over there for a few days. It should be fun.
Why is it that these weeks when we really don't have much in the way of responsibilities fly by? I think I am learning to savor and enjoy each moment...they are precious. I am grateful that I have the ability to do so much and especially that I have a great family with whom I can share all of it!
Happy SPRING everyone!!

Thanks for visiting my blog. You were very close to me while you were here. I am in Cherokee County. Glad you enjoyed Dahlonega. It is a lovely place. Did you eat at the Smith House??? Great southern food. There is also a UM camp in Dahlonega called Camp Glisson. Mostly used by youth but sometimes adults go. It is a very picturesque spot.
Hope you have a safe trip home.
I trained in Cherokee County on Monday. It was a GREAT place with wonderful teachers. We ate at a little Mexican Restaurant there and it was good.
In Dahlonega we ate at the Corkscrew Cafe. It was quaint and yummy!
Hope you're feeling better soon, Mary!!
It's hard to believe that tonight will be our last night in Key Largo. I'm glad that you and DS3 had a good time. DH and DD1 passed on the diving yesterday because of rough seas....he was afraid to hurt his camera;-) So all five of us went down to Key West and spent the day being "true" tourists;-) We visited Hemingway's home. The kids were most fascintated with his cats! I liked the pink taxi cabs that said "Think Pink" on their sides;-) Definitely a diverse kind of town.
p.s. looking forward to seeing you again at Disney!
