Merry Christmas

My family and I are pretty non-traditional when it comes to holidays, but one thing is for sure, we’re always together.

Every year since we moved from Texas, we’ve gone on out of town for Christmas. As of right now, we are at Saint Simons Island, Georgia.

This morning, I woke up about 6:30 AM, went to the beach, took some pictures, and then came back to the house. Afterwards, my wife and I went and walked about 1 mile with Hobbs, then about an additional 3.5 miles, without him. My feet were hurting quite a bit when I came back. I should have asked for some new shoes for Christmas!

We don’t buy really big presents for each other, but we spend a bit on the kids, even though they are 22 and 14.

Earlier this afternoon we all went to the pier, caught a few blue crabs, and generally had a good time. Looks like I may be rained out tomorrow, though. 90% chance of rain. Of well, maybe just down with the new books that I have and read all day. I may be tempted to go outside in the rain and take some pictures. Rain makes for great mood. I only need a little something to protect my camera.

I got a new 2GB card for the camera, too, and a pedometer to see how far I walk!

All in all, what really matters is that I am with the family at this time of year.
