“There should be more to life than rolling the dice and going in circles”

I found this article awhile ago, and started this post awhiiile ago, but just opened up my windows live writer and was reminded of it!  I love technology’s little reminders, there’s so much I would forget without them. 

Anyways – I love Settlers of Catan.  We played it over Christmas break with the Williams family, and while it is one of the longer games/has a tendency to spark…healthy debates among players…(although not as long as monopoly or risk – I’ve never played Risk but that’s what Dusty’s dad says), it’s still one of my favorites.  Definitely on my list.  (of things I potentially want when we have enough money to buy things we don’t need) (although, I seem to have a way of forgetting things that are on that list…or they are replaced by other, more expensive things, like skydiving, trips to Miami and/or London, etc.) (and Ct, but that’s more on my “need” list).

Here’s a few pictures for you.  They will have nothing to do with anything, but that’s kind of just how this post is turning out. 

PC114132December:  Merry Christmas from St. Augustine!  We found wax figures of the “Seinfeld” cast, which were actually pretty creepy looking.

January:  It’s kind of hard to tell, but that’s a manatee!  (And us, looking at the manatee)

OK Jules, that was a totally random post... but I enjoyed it!

We also love Settlers. A few years ago for Christmas my father-in-law made us a Settlers game board. He used a saw to cut out the shape of Catan, so now we can play without the cards shifting all over the place. Nice!
