More vacation pictures....we're still on the first day! lol

Ok, so back to the vacation pictures.... if you all are still interested. If not, just don't look at them. ;) I'm so helpful. =D

Waiting for our lunch to arrive. 

This was our view during lunch...absolutely beautiful!

 It was such a beautiful day and all my pictures turned out fantastic!

Now who would ever want old beer. ;)

It's a bar for RA's! For those of who you don't know, Nate is an RA at CofO.

I really loved the palm trees. 

This was pretty in color, but I liked it in black and white too. :)

And another palm tree picture. :)

An update

Here's the update: I'm doing great, working hard, and being a bum when I'm not working hard. And that's really it. I could totally be done writing, but I'm sure it would be really odd to post an "update" with very little written. Seriously though, the above is really all that's been happening....especially the bum part. ;)
I really need to find something to do in my spare time as I really end up being the biggest bum ever and it drives me insane. Every day last week that I was off I wanted to bake cupcakes or something to make me busy. I didn't though as I would've spent a ton of money to buy all the baking stuff. Btw, I don't usually just make one batch of cupcakes. It usually ends up being 2 or 3 batches. Don't worry! I spread them out over a couple weeks so I don't kill myself. I usually can eat about 10 cupcakes a day....which means they don't really last a couple weeks. More like a few days. Oh wait, you wanna know the truth? Ok, I take them into work and only (usually) eat two. :) I made seventy some odd cupcakes and took them to the base and the ER. Let me just say that it is one incredible way to get everyone to like you. ;) Of course, then they never leave you alone and are constantly asking for more cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies, etc. So ungrateful. But, I keep bringing them more because it's one way I can bake without having to eat them all myself. :) I came into work the other day and the first thing I got asked was: "Where's the cinnamon rolls?" Like I said, ungrateful. ;) 
Oh, the latest and greatest cupcakes at the moment are: Neapolitan Cupcakes with ice cream frosting. :) Sooo yummy! I made them for a church dinner and they were gone pretty quick. The Red Velvet Cupcakes are a close second though as everyone at work loves them. I like them too. :)
Next week is a big day! Yesterday, my partner and I decided that we were going to have a cake competition. Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting, all made from scratch. :) We work again next week and so will bring our cakes in to see who has the better one. His sounds pretty awesome, so I may have to steal his recipe. ;) I'll let you know how it goes and who had the better cake. =)
The best news of all though, is that I'm going home on Friday!! I have been waiting for this weekend to come for awhile and it's almost here! Even though it seems like everyday goes by incredibly slowly and I'm about to go insane from it. I'm excited to see everyone and I'll finally get to meet my adorable nephew! Who seems to be cuter in every picture I see of him. :)
Well, pretty sure it's time for me to sleep. I worked last night and I'm at it again tonight....have I said how much I hate working nights? Cause they pretty much make you feel really rotten. I don't think they would be as bad if I had a set schedule of working nights. It's the not sleeping during the day and then getting up at odd hours during the night that make you feel rotten. Ok, enough talk. It's after 10 and I am beat. Goodnight, little world and sleep well. :)

Btw, I did not read through this again, so please forgive any errors I made.

The Naval Museum

That is one huge, but very cool, poster. :) 

Nathan spent some time with these guys...not sure what his thoughts of them were. ;)

Its amazing how many planes they fit into this building. Cool thing is that all the planes have been flown at least once. :)

Very intent on something.... 

You can almost imagine that you're flying in one too. ;)

 Aren't we cute? ;)

I think Nate might have to fight the sailor for this girl. ;)

lol, I thought this sign was awesome. :)

Spitting was expensive back in the day.... ;)

I guess some people need shower rules... I mostly just take a shower whenever and however long I want. :)

Not sure what they call this room, but most of you have probably seen it from the movies and know what it is. :D

Do you know what this is? Again, I don't know the exact name but I do know that it's what they use on carriers to launch the jets. :)

The awesome 360 simulators!

That is...............well, that's my brother. ;)

 

Uncle Craig getting sucked up..... Nate, you need to work on staying away from people while you're taxiing. ;)

The only thing wrong with this picture is that we didn't fly. Maybe one day! :)

The lighthouse

My camera lens didn't like the heat so well.... 

Ok, so this lighthouse is "haunted". They have haunted tours (or whatever their called where they talk about the ghosts that have been seen, etc), and my uncle and aunt went to it. My uncle decided to have some fun and so after people had seen the above doll and took pictures, he moved the doll so that it was sitting up. Mind you that it is dark in the room so no one would've noticed him moving the doll. Anyway, one lady freaked out and told everyone how she had just taken a picture of the doll lying down and now it was sitting up. Must've been a ghost! ;) lol, my uncle got a big kick out of it and I don't believe he told anyone that he had moved the doll. :) 

Notice how the young man has some newer technology. Maybe the days weren't so bad years and years ago. ;)

Just a big door that I thought looked cool. :)

Some people have been known to take pictures down this hallway and then notice a ghost in the picture. Well, nothing like that happened to me. Guess that's why I don't believe in ghosts. :)

 We had to walk up 175 steps. Talk about a workout! ;)

This was probably about halfway up.... I'm guessing. :)

 

The Naval Museum

Aunt B checking out the view

I love the different colors of the ocean, the white sand, and the palm trees!

Our group picture :)

Aunt B and I got the memo about the thumbs up. The guys on the other hand....obviously didn't. ;)

 Loooong way to the ground

I would love to have an apartment that was this high and with this view. :)

Leaving the lighthouse...
