I am back in Birmingham, back to the real world and I now have access to the cord that connects my camera to the computer. Now I can download and post the photos from the trip and the ones prior to the trip. These are the ones taken prior to the beach trip.
Before we left I picked up the wedding invitations from the calligrapher's and got them mailed out.
Ed was hanging out under the coffee table as I was taking pictures of the invitations. This is one of his favorite spots. There's Ed under the glass table top.
I also had lunch with a good friend, Odyssey Home before I left. She was back in town for her husband's grandmother's funeral. While I waited for her to get to the restaurant, I took these pictures. And threw some coins in this fountain.
We had lunch at Tavern on the Summit. It just so happens to be the restaurant where I met The Murph a few years ago. We immediately hit it off. I thought he was very handsome. We exchanged business cards. He convinced me to go out with him. (it was REALLY tough- haha). I made sure I had a chaperone for our first date (he was a stranger after all). Later, The Murph joked that he wasn't sure if the chaperone was for me or for him.
As Odyssey Home and I were leaving the restaurant, I retraced my steps from the restroom through the bar area and showed her exactly where The Murph was sitting the night I met him.
This is Odyssey Home. We were busy tweeting and instagraming at the table. I think we were causing a bit of scene and disturbing a couple of old guys having lunch at the next table.
I had chicken salad and she had Caesar salad. And of course we took pictures and tweeted. At least I tried to tweet, but for some reason (user error), I couldn't get my tweet to work.
Her tweets were working. She's way more tweet savvy than I am.
After lunch, I headed home and The Murph and I left for the beach. We had so much to pack with my bike and racing stuff and a bunch of things we had to take to The Boy at school along with our usual stuff (and I'm not a light packer), that I forgot to pack the camera cord. As any blogger knows, this can be a very traumatic experience.
Luckily, I did have Instagram, so I could take pictures with my cell phone and tweet them after I finally figured out how all the buttons work. I even figured out how to follow people on Instagram. So hey, it wasn't a total loss!
I am posting all the race pictures and the beach pictures on another post.
I feel so much better already!!
