Home!

We finally made it home last night. Joe our friend picked us up at 11:45pm and I finally crawled into bed around 12:30am. I didn't mention in the previous post that on the leg from Denver to Memphis, we were sitting behind and young man about 8yrs old, well he didn't feel too chipper and you guessed it, lunch was brought back up and down between the seats. We were doing okay for most of it, except when the smell started to come up into our faces.... ohhh boy soo much fun. Susan and I didn't get sick but all I can say was our FUN METER was pegged all the way over into the red. I had to take the batteries out before I burned mine up. Susan has alittle blue backpack that was under the seat in front of us and it was all over that. FUN!

You know going and visiting family is a good thing and it's something that both Susan and I look forward to. We had a really great time, but coming home to sleep in your own bed and to be able to stretch out on your own couch and watch what you want to on TV, maybe scratch yourself and burp out loud or better yet let alittle fart go (that is when Susan isn't in the room) well not too much can beat that. We missed you all, and look forward to seeing each of you in the next few days.

Thunderstorm in Memphis

We made it to Memphis and made our connection just in time for a thunderstorm to stop everything. So here we sit on the jet going no where fast.

Headed Home

Early Start

I got a early start this morning. John (Susan's brother -N- law) and I got up and was out the door by 6:30. Our tee time was at 6:50. The round went good and no my golf ball didn't find that water you see. We met up with the women folk for lunch at Fudd Ruckers Mmmm Good.

More Baseball

Here is a pic that I took of Susan's family at the baseball game. I have been threatened with my life for posting this but I figured what the heck. From left to right is John, Ginny, and Amber you can't see Amber's husband but he is there.

Lunch is Served

Mongolian BBQ here in Denver is good, but not as good as the one we use to have in Charleston. I have been told that this isn't a very good video and I do admit that it looks very disgusting, but hey it tasted good.

Baseball Rockies Style

Watching the Rockies play the Mets @ Coors Field. 1st innging and the Rocks are up 2 - 0 and the innging isn't over. The Rockies went on to win the game in 13 innings 6-5. We didn't get back to the house until midnight. John (Susan's brother -n- law) and I have a tee time of 6:50 gonna be a early morning.

Golf Denver Style

Had a great time golfing today. Went to Racoon Creek Golf Course. The day was alittle cloudy but the golf was great.

Mile High

We have arrived. 45 minutes late but we are here. Fun to begin right away.

Some Pic's from the Ice

You all know that Susan and I have spent time in Antarctic, specifically at McMurdo Station. I have been going through some of our photo and found these and thought I would add them to this blog. Both of the pic's were taken during our last season on the ice which was from Aug 05-Feb 06. These pic's your taken during January time frame. The first one with the cross was taken off of Hut Point Peninsula which is just across Winter Quarter Bay. The cross was put there as memorial for a sailor that went through the ice as he was moving supplies around with his bulldozer in 1956. The same Sailor has a airfield named for him down there Williams Field .

The second pic was taken near Scott Base. As you look at it you can see Mt Erebus in the back ground. It is a active volcano on Ross Island. I hope you check on out a few of the links on this post and learn alittle bit about the place that Susan and I met. Susan and I have a ton of Pic's from different seasons and of different things at McMurdo and other places we have seen. If we get any comments about seeing some of these other photo's we will post them on here with a few comments.

Can You Say Relaxed?

Bill sitting back and just enjoying the day.

Sorry it has been so long since I have really posted anything, so I will try over the next few days to catch up on all the things that have taken place over the last few weeks. Here is our Weekend post. This Mother's Day weekend went by without too much excitement. This was the 1st time that we had the boat in salt water. We put the boat in at Bushy Park Boat Ramp and headed out to Ft. Sumter. We floated around there, since we weren't sure that we could take Sassy into the Fort we decided not to go ashore for a look see. We will save that for the next visit and we will leave Sassy at home. After Ft Sumter we motored around over to Morris Is. and anchored off the beach and watched some dolphin play while we ate our picnic lunch. After the wind started picking up we headed back up the Cooper River. We went quite a ways up the river and shut the engine off and just floated down the Cooper. Things got alittle dicey when I looked up and decided I didn't like the look of that dark cloud that was moving very fast towards us, that is when we got alittle bit excited. We got everything latched down in the boat and headed back to the boat ramp. We were able to get the boat loaded onto the trailer and got everything in the truck, just before the Thunderstorm cut loose on us. For a Mothers Day gift Susan got a 11/2 hour visit to Stella Nova Day Spa that covered the hour body massage and another 1/2hr for just a foot massage. I spent the time have a cold frosty beverage while watching the Player's Golf Tournament at the SouthEnd Brewery. I got a big kiss when it was done. She was very happy. I think made some serious Brownie points.
