Virtual Vacation for Faith and the Friday Fill-Ins
Faith was talking about virtual vacations recently and I offered to let her plan a vacation for me…in Boston. Here’s what she said:
You’re to go to on the self-guided Freedom Trail tour. You start at the park visitor center at 15 State Street, opposite the Old State House. That will take you to 15 or 16 historic sites. Take at least one photo at each site. If you have time, do the tours at the different historic sites, and take photos of views, people, or anything else that strikes your fancy.
You were going to have to go to the tea party museum, but it’s closed. 
You must, however, find someplace to have a lovely cuppa. Please take a picture of the entrance to wherever you have your tea, and take a photo of your tea.
Have fun–and you have to post your thoughts about your vacation & at least a few photos on your blog.
Dudes, this is going to be SO much fun!!!
I recently discovered Bethanie, who is a transplanted yankee and looking forward to this vacation, as well!
One of my tattoos was featured here.
I stayed home from work on Thursday to keep an eye on Dad. He’d fallen sometime during the night in his bedroom and I didn’t discover it til 830 am or so. I couldn’t get him up off the floor, so I had to call the EMTs, which I hate to do, but…it was necessary. They checked him out, didn’t find any bumps or bruises, blood pressure and pulse was fine, and Dad, of course, did not want to go to the hospital. Poor thing’s been sleeping most of the day, and hasn’t really eaten too much, some oatmeal, half a sandwich. He didn’t want dinner and is still sleeping now. Think good thoughts, k?
Friday Fill-Ins #72:
1. There is absolutely NO way you can get me to ever eat chitlins again!
2. The lawn I mowed today reminds me that summer is almost here!
3. I cannot live without my camera.
4. Scuba diving and self discipline are two things I’d like to try.
5. When life hands you lemons make candied lemons.
6. Being at the beach in Falmouth with my cousins is my favorite childhood memory.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to Dad feeling better, tomorrow my plans include possibly getting my mischief managed tattoo redone (depends on how Dad’s feeling) and Sunday, I want to go to the Museum of Science with Megan; we’re going to see this!

Sorry to hear about your dad.
Here’s hoping he’s feeling better soon.
You know I’m looking forward to those Boston photos! And that’s a very cool tat, even if you’re not entirely happy with it!

I’m worried about him. It doesn’t sound like him at all. Are you sure he is okay? I mean is there anything else that might be going on?
Hugs, sweetie!

Cool tattoo.

1. There is absolutely NO way you can get me to say never.
2. The stifiling heat reminds me that summer is almost here!
3. I cannot live without my hand lotion.
4. Bungee jumping and race-car driving are two things I’d like to try.
5. When life hands you lemons make limoncello.
6. Spending a vacation in Florida with my grandparents is my favorite childhood memory.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to finishing one book and starting another, tomorrow my plans include hanging out and drinking with friends; Sunday, I want to go shopping and read some more.

Now see, candied lemons sounds a LOT better than lemonade! Hope your Dad’s feeling better quickly. Enjoy your weekend.

I agree with you on the tat. I have none, but secretly desire at least one. Good luck with getting your father back to “normal.”

Oh, good thoughts for you and your dad…
and have a nice weekend.

The virtual vacation sounds like a great idea! I’d like one right now.
Lots and lots of positive thoughts for your dad.
I love the smell of cut grass. Yummy! I hope it’s warm enough today to open my windows so I can smell it too.

Cool vacation idea, and I do hope your dad is feeling better.
May 16th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Sorry to hear about your dad, hope he’s doing better today! Sending him good vibes!
Can’t wait to see the HP tattoo redo!
The Laser show looks awesome! Have fun!

LOL! We both used a food for number one!
May 16th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Definite good wishes toward your dad!!
Happy Friday.

I sure hope your dad is better. That is so scary! More than once I’ve had to either call the EMTs or a neighbor to get Mom up after she had fallen.
Oh, I think you will be having a wonderful time at the Museum of Science!!!!

I can’t believe you at chitlins even once. I grew up around them-ewwwww.
May 16th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Laser Zippling should be fantasatic (and I am not even a Zepplin fan…god help me I know!). I hope your Dad is feeling better. I so want John to look at the tattoo on my back and see what he can do…maybe in a month or so!
May 16th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
The Laser show looks awesome, have fun!
Hope your Dad’s ok. Enjoy your weekend
May 16th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
hope your daddy is feeling better soon! i’d try scuba diving too, if i didn’t have asthma, but i enjoy a little snorkeling instead!
May 16th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Chitlins – oooh gross
Candied lemons sound tummy though.
Self-discipline – good answer !!
T.G.I.F.
