Come and gone

The trip to Illinois has come and gone. It was fun. I had a really good time, even though it may not have seemed like it.

The Ren. Faire was awesome. Sooo many shops with soooo many beautiful clothes, books, jewelry, figurines, and so on. It was a great way to spend a Sunday.

The zoo was pretty good, though it made me miss the kids. I loved seeing the animals even though they weren't very active. I don't blame them really, it was a scorcher of a day.

The museum was pretty cool. Of course, my favourite part was the Egyptian exhibit. It's the closest I'll ever get to the real thing, so....yeah.

I did have a bunch of pictures, but when I changed the batteries in my camera, I lost all but 4 or 5 from the museum. Yep. All I have are a few pics of a dead T-Rex named Sue (I didn't ask why), one of Carl (which I don't think he realized that I had taken one of him) and a few of the Egyptian exhibit. Sigh. I'm working on getting more.

I think that my favourite part of the trip was just sitting around during breakfast, dinner or over coffee. Just listening to Geoff, Carl and Shayne (and Sam one night) talk and be silly. My stomach muscles hurt for a few days after I returned. I haven't laughed that much in a while. Don't get me wrong, there has been laughter, but not to that extent. It felt great...painful, but great.

Hrm...let's see. Oh! The best night was when we went to Carl and Steph's place. Movies and Magic! It was awesome! Of course, I didn't win a single game. I think Carl won all three that we played. *glares* Oh well, it was still fun.

Anyhoo, that's all that I have right now. Yes, this is being posted two weeks after the trip. So sue me. :P

Peace, love and fluffy bunnies
