We took Mary to the Embassy this morning for an Easter egg hunt - another CLO sponsored event - She looked so cute in her pretty pink Sunday school dress. The kids were told they could find a maximum of 8 eggs. Mary took off immediately and found her eggs in about 2 minutes. Then we went inside and played games. Mary made me a nice necklace and the cafeteria put out a very nice spread for lunch.

Weekend in Ayutthaya
Ayutthaya is the original capital of Thailand. It's about an hour north of Bangkok and is completely surrounded by 3 rivers. That is one of the main reasons why it was chosen to be the capital... great defense! The Thais took a spanking or two from the Burmese back in the day. This trip was actually sponsored by the Community Liason Office so everything was planned from the moment we arrived until we left. We stayed at a lovely resort called the Garden River Home which sat right on the river bank.
After we settled in we were driven off to see the ancient ruins. It was incredibly hot but what a beautiful sight. You can see the pictures in the slideshow to the left. If you want a better view, click on the pictures and you will be taken to our Picasa web album where all of our Bangkok pictures are stored.
I could go on and on about Ayutthaya... The sunset dinner cruise, the Grand Palace tour, Catholic/Budda Monks, the princess who drowned because no one was suppose to touch royaly, etc. But, I'm pretty sure no one is actually going to read this so, I'll tell you what, I will send a box of tasty Thai treats to the first person to comment on this blog.

Ban Kruit Family Vacation
I was so happy to finally take the kids to Ban Kruit. Here is a video clip of our little trip. It was very quiet and relaxing. Since then, I have been working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week... Man-Oh-Man, I forgot how time consuming that is! Who came up with this 8 hour work day anyway? It takes a lot of work to keep a blog updated y'know... I still have a cute little video clip of Mary in her new playhouse. I guess that one will have to keep until next week.
I have two more weeks of DS classes to keep me busy during the day and I'm plugging along with the masters program. I just finished a course for securing wireless networks.
We took Micah out for his birthday this weekend. He will be 13 on the Wednesday. I paid to have his XBOX 360, uh... "upgraded" and he got a few games for his new and improved console. He's happy :-)
