Embassy Suites Huntsville Al

... Yesterday was full of souvenir shopping for the boys and family. It was a great day filled with sharing of memories and God's blessings. Thankful we had someone to help us "haggle" in the market place. Jeff's blonde hair and blue eyes somehow makes the price of an item magically go up a few dollars. One thing I experienced yesterday that I will miss terribly... food court food. Yeah... who would miss that right? I had THE BEST ...

... br><br>The venue itself was pretty nice, and we had a really fun crew. They were so efficient and good that we had our fastest load out to date. <br><br>Decatur, AL claims to be a "Grand City on a Charming Scale"... now, I don't really buy that, but I will say, I found it's alternative title "Home of Meow Mix" to be the most exciting aspect of the city. We passed the giant Meow Mix factory on the way out of town. Sadly, it left it's jingle of singing cats in my head for about 5 min.<br>

... half original retail and most clothes, books and CD's are $4, bargain! We got a few extra warm clothes to help us out as we head South and some books and CD's to help fill the time.<br><br> This place was totally awesome. There have been some crazy things found in the lost luggage department. If anyone remembers the movie the Labyrinth (who doesn't?) the puppet Hoggle, all 4ft of him ...

We woke up this morning to Tim's snoring and I don't think Ashlan moved one inch. So two things.. was she scared..or was she tired? I am going to go with tired. They stayed up till 1am chatting. Although I heard other rooms had childrens who were up till almost 3am chatting. This is why we came a day early. These kids were draaaaaaaaging this morning. We all split up. Tim, Mike and Stan decided to go get a new goalie ...

So yes...we have arrived. Let's recap what it took to get here. We take off from QT no issues there. Then the girls realize we have walkie talkies. Like the previous blog says..they never got bored. I heard more lines from movies like Joy Ride (Candy Cane), 16 Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, and any Will Ferrell movie you can possible think of. I think at one time someone was jacked up ...

... Tommrrow looks like we make go visit a space musesum and maybe hit up a movie. Oh, I almost forgot, it was so cool when we got to the hotel they had our team name up on the announcement board. I hope after having seventeen teenage girls staying here they will still be as excited as when we got here :)<br><br>Well everyone is out at the pool and I think I will join them!<br><br>Love,<br>BA Storm<br>(Ashleigh McCormick)

... of the kids were unsure of the MAT but in the end all thought it was pretty cool. After that was done we had a little history lesson on the space shuttle and the mercury and Gemini programs. Did I mention that we were team Gemini. We then went and constructed our model rockets. Colin named his rocket Pikachu and I named mine the Right Stuff. It was then time to prepare for bed and get ready for another busy day in the life of an astronaut,

(53) AUGUST 23, 2009<br>YOU KNOW? WE TOOK LITTLE BIT INTO HUNTSVILLE WHILE MOM AND<br>DAD TOOK IN A WELL DESERVED MOVIE BY THEMSELVES. SO, WE<br>WENT TO THE BIG SPRINGS PARK. THIS IS WHERE JESSEE JAMES<br>ROBBED THE BANK. HE HAD TO JUMP OFF A CLIFF INTO THE WATER<br>TO BE ABLE TO GET AWAY. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO TAKE IN <br>ALL WHAT THE PARK HAD TO OFFER. WE FED THE DUCKS AND FISH. <br ...

... DURING THE DAY TIME HOURS. IT WAS SUCH <br>A BEAUTIFUL DAY. THE WEATHER WAS <br>PERFECT...IT WAS WARM AND YET THERE <br>WAS SHADE EVERYWHERE. WE WENT TO <br>THE OUT DOOR THEATER. WE LOOKED AT <br>THE NEW LODGE. PICNIC TABLES WERE <br>CLEAN. THE WHOLE AREA WAS VERY WELL <br>KEPT. THE TRASH WAS , EVEN, COVERED. <br>WE WENT TO THE SONIC BEFORE GOING TO <br>MONTE SANO STATE PARK ...

... like a really good dream whose details I'm already beginning to forget. Fortunately for me, I have been logging these details all along, so I can refresh whenever I want, and toward that end I'll now go over my very last day in Mallorca, España. So Monday morning I got up around 9:30 to accompany Miguel into Palma, where I would meet with Josep, Noelia, and Happy (their aptly named Cocker spaniel) to go for a little beach-lounging. I met them at Son Hugo and we drove to Josep's dad's ...
