Weekend Update
This weekend, Ron and I went to Washington Crossing State park on Saturday. It was really fun and we had a great time. We went to the NJ and PA sides of the park. They both have their own strengths, NJ has alot of activities and excited people walking around, their space is full and well stocked with informational pamphlets. 20 minute movies on Washington's Crossing and a general friendly atmosphere. The PA side has an awesome facility, its just huge and beautiful, but its better for a walk than for learning at this point because they are revamping their facilities. There are very few exhibits but a pretty awesome gift shop. I purchased a penny whistle and promptly wrote a song called "Ode to Spring" I think I will record it and put it up on this site. Also we bought some wooden spoons which we will use for reenacting.
Then on Sunday we went to a bread making lecture in East Jersey Olde Towne. Very interesting. It was led by a rather dynamic woman called Jane Chrysostom. She was very knowledgeable about the topic, but really it just highlighted how removed we as New Jerseyians are from our food sources, most of us in the room (age range 9 - 89) did not know the process of turning wheat into flour. Nor did we know that there are various kinds of wheat or that you have to remove the stalk and the beard and the chaff! Holy smokes what a process. After that we had a yummy soup and sandwich dinner with my mom and Mrs. LaFontaine. It was a good weekend.
I would love to attend another lecture by Jane. She does a cheese making that I may be interested in attending!
Also, my mom lent me her digital camera so I can see what i'm looking for in my own digi-cam. I may post some pictures soon.

Road Trip Update #2
Well, we have pretty much finalized our first day.
We will leave pretty early and pick up our rental car on Saturday (we may wind up picking it up on Friday night, we'll see.) Anyhoo, we have the car and we drive it up to Mystic Seaport in CT, where we have lunch and enjoy the sights and sounds of this famous port. Then we continue up to Littleton, MA which is about 30 miles west of Boston, this is where we camp for the first night. We're staying at Minute Man Camp Ground We'll be cooking over a camp fire woot! We're going to practice setting up our camp in our living room so we can do it smoothly. We don't want the other campers to laugh at us.
Digital Camera Update - $55.00 (before lunch, which I brought from home again)

This is a silly video that I made, believe it or not, vocals, lyrics and editing were all done by me (nikki). My talent outshines the sun....
Road Trip Update
Well summer is right around the corner, and we've been planning a road trip/ camping vacation. We've entitled it "Our New England Historical Road Trip" and we have come up with the itinerary for it.
Here it is....
Day 1 - Home >>> Mystic Seaport, CT >>> Boston, MA
Day 2 - Boston, MA >>> Boston, MA
Day 3 - Boston, MA >>> Minute Man Nat'l Park, MA >>> Portland, ME
Day 4 - Portland, ME >>> Someplace on the Eastern Border of VT
Day 5 - VT >>> Ticonderoga, NY
Day 6 - Ticonderoga, NY >>> Ticonderoga, NY
Day 7 - NY >>> Home
It should be a lot of driving and a chance for us to see the sights and sounds of New England, since we've never been to Maine or Boston before nor have we ever gone camping. We're looking forward to it big time!

I'm getting a real camera!
Finally my mean husband is letting me have a camera. I have been begging for digi-cam for EVER, and by forever I mean over a year. So at long last Ron is relenting and I can have the camera. But of course there is a catch....
For every lunch that I bring from home I pay myself $5 (because I would have spent that on lunch somewhere) when I save up enough for a camera I can buy it. I start out with a $50 credit because I always bring my lunch several days a week! So counting today (lunch from home) I have $55 towards my camera fund. Hurray! Once I have that, I will begin posting pictures. :)
