Family time

Well school is just around the corner for my sons. They are already starting to get depressed. So in a last ditch effort, we are going on vacation. That's right, we are heading for the mountains. The bad news is that this means that I won't be able to post for a while. Now that depresses me because my web page was just beginning to take off.

But before you know it, I will be back and hopefully have some great photos to share. I am also hoping to bring home some nice big gems from the NC gem mines. It took a lot of searching but we found one that isn't salted. At this place, you actually dig the dirt yourself.

For anyone who doesn't know what salted means, it means that they put shinny rocks in the dirt so that you find something pretty. Those pretty rocks are worthless but the kids like them. I guess that is ok for most children but mine used to find these shiny rocks and were disappointed when we told them it was worth nothing. I will let you know how this place turns out.

Well I hope everyone has a great weekend and start to the week. Make sure and visit my website and leave a comment if you so desire.

Have a great weekend,
Greg

Hey everyone, having a great time. I will fill you all in when I return. This hotel has a computer in the lobby that I can use but I didn't bring my camera cable so no pictures. Sorry. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Have a wonderful vacation Greg!
Hope you enjoy your vacation! And I think I'm with your kids on the salting. I'd rather find the real thing. : )
Have a blast....love gem hunting in NC...of course that was long ago and far away.... and I was probably one of the tiny children thrilled to find shiny bits of nothing, LOL!!
