Ella May at 8 Weeks
My mom commented that all the pictures I've posted of Ella are in profile. Not any more!
The Kimbros Take Baltimore!
Cory, Joel, Daniel, Jacob, Tiffany, and Ella outside the Baltimore Aquarium.
Memorial Day Recap
I think I need a long weekend to recover from my long weekend!
We had a full house for Memorial Day -- Daniel, Tiffany and Ella flew in from Knoxville, and Cory, Jacob, and their friend Joel Rickard made the long drive up 81 from Morristown. Despite getting caught in some beach traffic, the boys made good time and were waiting for us -- out on the dock with their fishing poles in the water -- when we arrived from the airport.
On Saturday, we had a great turn out for our housewarming party. Ella, as expected, was VERY popular on the Maryland scene. The sandy beach and (relatively) warm water off our dock was a big hit with the kids -- I heard about a couple of jellyfish sightings, but no stings reported. Daniel was a great help as grillmaster. Unfortunately, Shawn and I were too busy being host & hostess that neither of us took any pictures. I'm hoping someone sends me some I can post.
Sunday, we took our new friend Sarah up on her offer of a behind-the-scenes tour of the Australia exhibit at the Baltimore Aquarium, where she works as a herpetologist. The exhibit did a great job showing the diversity -- from desert to tropics to ocean -- of the Australian climate. No koala bears, but a lot of really cool birds, lizards, crocodiles, snakes, and (of course)fish. It was a treat to go backstage to see how it all really works, not to mention the birds-eye view of "Australia." We wrapped up our day at the aquarium with a dolphin show. I've included a few pictures.
Monday was boat day, for us and about half the Annapolis area. The boys had a blast testing our new tow-along raft. Ella was not impressed with their acrobatics, however, and slept for most of the ride. Too much fun.
It's Tuesday, and everyone heads back to Tennessee. We're hoping they all come back soon!

Scenes from my seriously long distance commute...
Another whirlwind trip to Ithaca on the eve of our housewarming party! These photos were snapped from my window seat. The first photo was taken on the approach to NYC's Laguardia airport.
The second, as we were touching down in Tompkins County. What a difference 400 miles makes!
Gotta run,

Beeeeep, Beeeeep, Beeeeep....
As in the noise a big truck makes when it's in reverse.
It's only 20 feet from our driveway to the Shore Acres Community Association boat ramp. Which means that, until we get a boat lift installed (in process, so we're told), we basically drive next door to load the boat on and off the trailer in and out of the water. No doubt that it's convenient, and Shawn's quite the expert at backing the fully loaded trailer in tight spaces.
I think the neighbors are impressed. As the girl whose tiny car shares a three-space parking lot with a big boat and a monster truck, I know I am!

Daytona Beach
Shawn and I were in Florida this weekend for Dave & Mandy's wedding. The ceremony was on Friday afternoon, leaving us with a free day on Saturday before we flew back to Baltimore. It took us a while -- and a few cups of Waffle House coffee -- before we came up with a plan. After rejecting all the obvious Disney-themed destinations, we settled on a day at the beach. 
We chose the Atlantic over the Gulf, and pointed the rental convertible in the direction of Daytona. All thoughts of what to do when we got there disappeared when we discovered that, for $5.00, we could buy a day pass to drive on the beach. Definitely worth it!

Congratulations!
... to newlyweds David & Amanda Leventhal
They're smiling because they're about to leave on an island-hopping cruise!
Oh yeah, and because they just got married!

Watch Out For Them 'Gators!
After reading about the killer alligators on the loose in the Sunshine State, I wasn't so sure I wanted to come to Florida this weekend!
