Instead of going on a real family vacation this year, we decided to check out Savannah’s fun spots. Besides the obvious benefit of saving money, we avoided the frustrating mornings and evenings in a hotel when everyone wouldn’t be awake at the same time. (I hate staying at hotels, can you tell?)\
We didn’t do everything on our fun list, be we did manage:

• Ice Age in 3-D (yay air conditioning!)
• Beach (sorry, no pictures)
• Fireworks
• Playgrounds, playgrounds, and more playgrounds
• Star Wars marathon (gag me, but the boys really loved this)
• Baseball game
• Cook out, with root beer floats, yum\
  Kevin’s posted some pictures already.\
  We are going to both sets of grandparents’ before school starts, but those are “visits” not vacations. Just fyi.\
  Q: What are you doing for vacation this summer, internet?

Today’s been busy. Here’s what Brian and I have done this weekend:

1. Went to Target and got some patio furniture.
2. Assembled that furniture (a table, umbrella and stand and set of four chairs)
3. Cleaned out my car
4. Swept the back patio
5. Went to ACE Hardware and got potting soil, peat moss and seeds.
6. Cleaned out all the old pots in the backyard and filled them with peat moss and potting soil
7. Transplanted Brian’s bean plants and Max’s radishes from their science projects.
8. Planted cucumbers, tomatoes and wildflowers
9. Cleaned up (well, mostly) our mess and then watered everything, at least once.
10. Finished setting up the server ficly will eventually live on so I can take it over the Seimitsu this week (if you’re in Savannah and need pretty much anything IT or hosting-related, you’d be stupid not to call them – I love love love them).\
    And now, I’m going to take some Aleve and sit down.
