Back and on the East Coast

It has been ages. My apologies for my disappearance. Life can get super busy. Though I am a stay a home mom, I help my husband run his business...technically I am a majority partner and so it goes without saying I am the boss. He does the heavy lifting and I do what he needs me to do keep the ship afloat.

Not only have I been super busy, but I lost my camera. ::bangs head on wall for leaving it behind on a flight:: That was a total bummer. But now I am back and armed with a new camera. Yay!

This week the princess and I traveled to PA embarking on an annual girls beach trip. This will be our first time on this all girls trip. I'll have to do my best to keep out of the drama. I will say it is kinda weird visiting the in-laws without the husband. I have a good relationship with the in-laws and living in a different time zone helps, but ask me again in 4 days. There will be 10 females on this trip and a 5 hour car ride to Rehoboth Beach, DE. Pray for me please.

We arrived a day early to give us a buffer in between travels. I spent part of the day breaking in my new camera. It is a Canon T2i. Canon has this great loyalty program where they offer 20% off of their refurbished cameras for sending in any old Canon camera (working or not). I took advantage of this program to take the sting off replacing my lost camera. If you are in the market for a DSLR or a point a shoot this is a great option.

Here is the link to their inventory. It changes daily, so check back if the camera of choice isn't available. Contact them at 1-866-4333-8002, option 2 for digital camera upgrade

For those of you existing Canon DSLR owners looking to upgrade your kit lens or add to your collection, Target has a decent zoom lens for on sale at good price.




The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS retails for $300, Target has it on sale for $149 through 7/2/11. Check here for store availability by typing in your zip code.

I took all the pictures below on with the Canon T2i and EF-S 55-250mm. These pics snippets of my day today in PA.



{An adorable Amish boy. I am enamored by the Amish.}



These next pics aren't of a Bed and Breakfast, but of my mother-in-laws house. Don't they deserve a spread in Country Living?


{Only thing that is missing is a glass of ices tea.}





The picture below is of a Spring House located on their property. Water flows below this quaint little building. The flowing water maintains a constant cool temperature inside the building throughout the year. It was used for refrigeration many years ago before the advent of electric refrigeration. My husband and I were married next to this Spring House 8 years ago.
