Our Virtual Vacation

As we mentioned, the CFV concluded this weekend. Traditionally, when a family member couldn't attend, they were represented in the family photo by someone wearing a bag. Now that we're living in the 21st century, we're sending a virtual Kevin and Diana to this year's crafter of the vacation album. (Hopefully someone will let us know who that is...)

To demonstrate, we'd like to share our satellite CFV, aka a brief virtual vacation. Let's begin, shall we?





We opened with sunrise over New Mexico, not far from NancyTurtle's house. So, we stopped to pose for a quick shot in front of her lilac bush.








While we were in the neighborhood, we popped up to the Grand Canyon, and had look around before heading east.




Trooley needed a rest stop, so we took quick walk on the Capitol mall. We looked around for the Vice-President, but we really didn't see Dick...




Next, we were off to Europe. We got our afternoon's exercise by water-skiing on the Thames and free-climbing the Eiffel Tower.























As night fell over Paris, we posed for one more shot.*














*Trooley took most of these shots. He focuses well, but he's lacking some in originality in posing his subjects...


We enjoyed our vacation and are glad you are there!

I virtually pooped my pants laughing. Don't let Kevin take your picture, he might "send" you someplace.

Whew.....what an exhausting week you and Kevin have had! Thanks for making me laugh aloud. Kudos to Trooley for finding the viewfinder with one paw!
XXOO

Glad you enjoyed it!

Laughter remains high on my med list.

Thanks to each of you for being a part of our humorous lives.

*hugs*

Actually when we were in Paris last year we did take some pretty funny Eiffel Tower shots...I got down on the grass kind of underneath the kids and they either held it up or licked it. we thought we were pretty clever, but I only knew to try it because we saw someone else doing it. xxoo

mom and dad stopped over last night on their way home and read the blog so they're caught up through yesterday.
Speaking of laughter on your med list, have you had a chance to crack any of the David Sedaris books yet? No pressure, just wondering. My other suggestion is to spend some time with Gavin...he'll get you going!

Katie, remember to bring the Paris pictures the next time you visit?

I've read snippets of the first book. It seemed like a good one to take to the hospital, but I ended up not reading much that day. So I'm juggling that one with the first Potter book.

Hey, Hannah!

You bet! We'll work on taking some appropriate photos the next time you're here. What places would you like to visit with us??

Hope your sister had a great birthday yesterday. Uncle Pat's birthday is tomorrow. Wonder what he'll do to celebrate?

XOXOXO
