Week 17 - Fleetwood Mac Concert


 Fleetwood Mac in Atlantic City. Great concert and wow they are all impressive for their ages! Stevie is 66... Mick Fleetwood and Chrissy are 71! They spent 31/2 hours full on entertaining. Great special effects.  Fun weekend with friends! :)




Always fun to go to a concert where you know all the words to all the songs!  The only downside to the week is that my son ended up in the hospital for 2 days because of a Mrsa infection in his elbow... maybe thatssss why he didnt clean his room?!?!? lol  He is fine now! #fleetwoodmac  #atlanticcity #Mrsa

Week 14 James A Mitchner Museum and NYE Wedding

The James A Mitchner Art Museum has been on my list of places I wanted to see for years,  It is directly across from the Mercer Museum.  It once was an old stone prison which makes its bones and story as interesting as its art!  http://www.michenermuseum.org/

New Years Eve, 12/31/14, I went to the wedding reception for one of my oldest dearest friends at the museum. Fabuloussss setting for a wedding and bonus... I got to see the museum as well! 





 We pledged our sorority freshman year together (Thats me right over the Sigma in pearls, and her 3rd row from the top, left side, second in, wearing brown stripes).
Both Kim and Joe have been married before. I was at Kims first wedding.  Her first husbands parents were at this wedding as well (In the photo below). Kind of a long story but a nice one.  One that I hope has had a happy ending for everyone. :) Great to see some other old friends too.

Week 13 Mayan Museum - Cancun Mexico

 ***MEXICO***  Its been a family tradition for the last several years to go away between Christmas and New Year.  We have gone to Cancun for the last 4 yrs and never once left the resort to explore any of Mexico's rich culture. This year,(as a first for me and my family) I forced the troops to the Mayan Museum.  It was directly next door to our hotel so it wasn't too difficult a sell.  The only unusual/difficult thing is that its the only place in the area that doesn't accept US Dollars or even credit cards so we had to exchange money to get in.  We were unprepared.
 (Sunset Beach Vollyball and pineapple drinks were not part of the museum admission price!haha)
 The grounds are well kept and impressive. There are several Mayan ruin sights there, as well as some other structures. Its not a place that will leave you awed but it was worth the time and effort to get a taste for the culture.   Some huge Iguanas and interesting native trees.  Big termite mounds all over...
 Inside (raised onto a higher lvl so that there isnt the risk of flooding) there is a nice exhibit of ancient remains found in Tulum dating about 14k yrs old.  There is another of the remains of La Mujer de las Palmas or "the Woman of the Palms".  They believe these are the remains of a person that lived 10k yrs ago during the Ice Age! Some other tools and bones of wildlife are there as well.





Clearly everyone was as impressed as I was! haha  It was a fun afternoon!  #mayanmuseum #cancun 





 Can you see the drawings in the rocks above?
