Post Vacation....more summer fun!

This month has been full of great summer activities. Lots of outdoor concerts, festivals, and great food!! LOL. We just got back from a great Disney vacation where my son ate a giant smoked turkey leg each day at the parks...lol. He loves those things. We spent a lot of time by the pool and going out to eat. Lots of sun and fun in the parks. We checked out Harry Potter ride at Universal, and rode Space Mountain, Mount Everest and the River Adventure Dinosaur rides a few times, our favorites.

Been checking out the Jazz scene in the city at the Clef Club, Chriz Jazz Cafe, and even the World Cafe Live. Great music!! Looking forward to the rest of the summer. I hope to take a nice road trip or two before the hot weather disappears. Fall is a great time for that too. My son and I love to take road trips. Ok.....I like to take road trips more than he does. He prefers to stay home and play video games...lol.

Enjoying the summer....

We have been enjoying the summer weather in the city. Lots of outdoor activities, BBQs, outdoor music, festivals, and food! Fourth of July was great in the Parkway! Lots of entertainment, food, and fireworks. This month Jordan and I have been taking a lot of walks around the city. We have our favorite ice cream place and park we like to visit regularly. We often pack lunch or buy lunch and sit in Love Park or the park accross from our building and enjoy the sunshine.

I have been taking the train into work. I enjoy the ride in. Since my office moved near the train station, I have been taking the train. My car is in need of some repairs. So glad it waited till I was able to take the train into work...lol.

Jordan finished his 7th grade homeschool year strong. He'll be starting 8th grade in September. Can't believe he'll be in high school soon. My work is going well. We had grand opening for one of our large projects this summer so far. It was great to see a beautiful apartment building completed and meet all the people involved in making it happen.

I have been able to connect with some friends from Middle School through facebook in the last week. It's been about 18 years since I have seen them. It's hard to believe it's been that long. I can't wait to catch up with them further.

Getting ready for a trip to Disney in about 3 weeks. My SO and his kiddies are joining us. My brother and his family will be there too. Have to start organizing and packing. Looking forward to the trip!
