Haha our highest hill (doesn't qualify to be called mountain) is 323 meter  and it's on the border with Belgium and Germany. We live far below sea level ;-)

Hills? Mountains? What are those? LOL Florida is completely flat. Our highest point is 345 feet above sea level or 105.156 meters.

Wow, I didn't know it could get any flatter than here..

[Anofeles]

Lol, I always knew Holland was flat (sometimes even under-flat ), but THIS flat? 323 meters, does it even count? And Florida?!
I always thought our Sněžka was sooo small with its 1602 meters...

New Orleans is even worse! Much of the city is actually below sea level. It's why they have the above-ground mausoleums. You can't dig to bury people there or you get water!

Here in Florida we have a similar problem (though obviously not as bad) in that there's no such thing as a basement. It would be so expensive to build it to hold back the water, you'd need a fortress. So no one has basements here.

And yet, you NEED basements!  Silly hurricanes!

Bertrum and I have spent the weekend cleaning, no adventures. Next weekend is more family stuff, nothing exciting. But I'm lining up some great fun later this month!

So we took Monroe to Charlotte, NC. I've never been there before and we had a blast this weekend.

Thats downtown Charlotte in the background.



There were so many banks downtown. Wells Fargo and Bank of America was on every corner!


Here's Monroe having a bagel and coffee for breakfast.


Top of a cathedral.


Monroe sitting in front of the cathedral.


This was a random painting we saw walking underneath a bridge sorta thingy.


Me and Monroe being Tourists!

Charlotte was super fun. If anyone is close to that area, I definitely recommend going. Next weekend, we're taking Monroe rock climbing!

Bertrum and I mae use of the lovely Seattle spring weather this weekend, tho no adventures. Just a lovely evening picture of us enjoying the magnolia tree in my yard. We sat out and got some Vitamin D today to help get rid of the last of this ICK i've been battling. The ornamental plum tree has already lost most of the blossoms, but the magnolia is just gettin' started - with the right conditions, it will keep blooming until August!

[Mountains and Clouds]

Whoa!  The magnolias where I used to live only bloomed for a week.....

[Smeddley]

We had a nice, mostly quiet weekend - the horrible storms they were predicting stayed west and north, so no hail or damaging winds (yet, spring is young!).  Charlie did have fun with the girls at craft night, today we've pretty much spent playing Draw Something (we're username smeddley, if anyone else plays...).  He's pretty good at guessing, not so much at drawing.

Oh!  And we tested out some ShrinkyDinks as a craft project.  I'd forgotten how much fun those were!  I see lots of that in our future.

AND... I fell off the wagon, we... went to a garage sale.  3 years garage sale free, and... I just slipped.  *sigh*

sweety28303, I'm near Greensboro. I love to go down there to Ikea even though it isn't quite in Charlotte. I plan to take Emmett there.

When I was a kid growing up, here in Florida, I actually ~had~ a basement. Technically, it was a cellar, because it had outside access, but the same concept.  It was a favorite hang out for my friends, because it was so odd.  It made me "cool"...heh.  Excuse the pun.
