Hey - I'm Back!

Hi!
I'm back.
How have you been?
I've missed you!

Yes, camp is over and I've just about recuperated.
We finished last Friday and I slept on and off all
through Saturday and Sunday. Now I'M on vacation.
And being on vacation I've been doing things that
I want to do, like ruining my skin. (I like a tan).

Today I did something that some people would
consider child abuse........
I went outlet shopping and dragged my 13 year
old son with me. As you can see, he wasn't all that trilled.

I'd never been to these outlets, they're new and very nice.

They're very clean and look like they belong in Florida. The only things
missing are palm trees and loads of old people.
While I shopped, Dylan sat on the HUGE benches.
They look like they're made for giants.

He did humor me by trying on school shoes.

He ended up liking them so we got them and a ring I tried
on and couldn't get off my finger, but I really like it.
I did very well at Old Navy, which I usually don't care for.
A couple of short cord skirts to wear with tights and sweaters.


And I LOVE these pants. Great colors!


Dylan spent some time with the Old Navy people:

I also let him get those sunglasses so he was happy.
We stopped at Johnny Rockets for lunch. They had outside
seating and since today was 75 degrees with low humidity
it was perfect!

Dylan and I both decided we had a terrific day together.
Will I manage to convince him to go with me again?
Probably not, and that's fine, but today was wonderful.
