Well, here we are back in Bloomington. One week from today we will be half way back to Virginia. We have had a wonderful couple of months and we are looking forward to going home.

So, for our last 36 hours in Michigan City, I am sure you are wondering what we did. Sunday we hung around the condo in the morning. Reading, playing DS and being lazy. In the afternoon we went to the beach. The kids and I played in the water. Daniel went out for a bit, but said it was a bit too cold. Katrina and I grabbed a raft and paddled and kicked through a deep area to a sandbar that was probably 100 yards from shore. It was neat being way out there and being able to stand. We played around for about an hour, then Katrina and I let the currents/waves take us back to shore.

While on shore, the kids decided one last great sand adventure must happen.

I guess it is every brother's dream to be able to bury his sister! For more pictures of the burial and subsequent escape, visit me at Flickr.

For dinner we ate at a nice restaurant: Dino's Family Restaurant. It was run by a Greek family and gave me a hankering to see A Big Fat Greek Wedding again. We had a lovely meal and friendly service.

Then we went back to the room and the kids watched POTC3 for the umpteenth time and Daniel and I just enjoyed a peaceful evening before returning to Bloomington. And I did laundry.

This morning we got up about 7:30. I spent about 2 hours finishing up laundry and making sure everything was packed up and ready to go.

Once we got back to Bloomington, I remembered that I had promised you a picture of my shirt that I got at the Four Winds Casino. Check it out!

This shirt called to me. It was sparkly, black and had my lucky number on it. 7 has always been a lucky number, not the least of which is because I was born in the 7th month of the year! My birthday is fast approaching and I am glad I will be home to enjoy it!

This coming week will be busy as we begin the gathering and packing up process and do a few favorite things again before we leave.
