I with you, I can't even go on one!<br /><br />My dearest friend got married on the Queen Mary...thanks for the great photos. It was a family affair, so I never really saw it like that.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how getting away puts everything in perspective? Now you are refreshed and ready to enjoy the rest of the summer in CT.<br /><br />Warmly, KathleenKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232952780647731686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905278843435851670.post-10714577699600914272011-07-28T00:05:30.566-07:002011-07-28T00:05:30.566-07:00You even make Long Beach look good!

Obviously functionality over luxury is the name of the game there.<br />I don't know how anyone can afford to live in Cali anymore. Comparatively, our home would cost somewhere in the 2 million dollar range in San Diego vs. what we paid for it here.<br />I love Cali no doubt, but wouldn't move back there for anything.Susan Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387510304089583710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905278843435851670.post-379224160278268682011-07-26T08:14:37.180-07:002011-07-26T08:14:37.180-07:00Looks like you found plenty of fun things to do an...Looks like you found plenty of fun things to do and see, and yes, Dukes is great!
