Spring Break '10

Well, Spring Break 2010 is drawing to a close. Richie has had the week off so he's been hanging at home while I work. It's been nice to have some company. We've had a great week and done some pretty exciting things. Here are some of the highlights:

1. Saw Alice in Wonderland. Eh ... it was OK. A little overrated. Richie especially liked the little jig that Johnny Depp does at the end.
2. Richie bought a hat ... finally. He's been talking about it for a while. It's the perfect one and he looks great in it.
3. Played tennis in the middle of the day a few times. The renowned former high school tennis coach Richard Bristow is teaching the up-and-coming tennis "Stahr" Amber Bristow. So far the progress is good.
4. Worked on the yearbook. Richie (an excellent teacher) is in charge of yearbook at his school. He has worked hard all week on putting together this year's annual for the kids. Lots of great pictures of students having fun at school.
5. A trip to the outlets. Need I say more?
6. Homemade buffalo chicken made by Richie. Delicious. I had it with bleu cheese. He did not.
7. Plenty of "24" season 2 viewing. We're addicted.
8. NCAA Final Four basketball game watching. Go Duke!
9. Hung some pictures in our living room. Our place is feeling a little more homey.

Is this what people call a staycation -- like a vacation only you stay home and do fun things around town? Well, maybe some people wouldn't call our activities super fun or crazy, but we've had a great week. Sometimes the best vacations are the ones where you relax and don't do much of anything. Here's a picture of Richie in his cool hat, watching the Duke v. West Virginia game and loving our new wall hangings.
