2011 Year in Review

So once again we're getting ready to fly to Florida so we can bring Mark's mom back to Wisconsin, and lazy me has not posted a single photo since this time last year when we were getting ready for the same trip! But in my defense our main home computer crashed about a month after we got back and then it got to be summer here so I wasn't on the computer much anyway. Luckily all my Florida photos were still on the camera card, so sometimes procrastination pays! 

I plan to add a few more posts soon because I still have lots of photos I want to archive on this blog, but for now my review of the year has to include at least one shot from this funky little place in Key Largo called Sunset Cove Beach Resort. We stayed there for 4 days soaking up the sun (and margaritas!) before going to Century Village to close up the condo and bring Mom home in April last year.

We spent the summer close to home because we had a lot of projects to work on, but when it got really scorching in late July we took a week off and went camping at Point Beach State Park on Lake Michigan.

In October  I headed west to Encinitas, CA for a week-long Feng Shui training program, which took place at a hotel just a few blocks from the beach.  My classmates were a great group of ladies and we had a lot of fun during our stay, so there will definitely be more photos to follow from that adventure!

Just a few weeks later we saw our first snow here in Wisconsin, when Mark and I spent the Veteran's Day weekend at our favorite retreat cabin up north. After that we had a series of home Packer games and that brought friends and family to our house almost every weekend, so that was the extent of our travels for 2011.
