The big event of the day was going to see my auntie Cindy's apartment for the first time. She has down syndrome and has been living with my grandparents since she was a kid, but has just gotten a place of her own, so it's really cool! =) She was so proud while showing us all around, and rightly so - tis a nicer place than we expected. She lives in a community of people, all very nice, not too far from here. Very neat place though =)

Soo, once the tour was through, that was basically the day. We took a quick shopping stop at Lands End, then made our way back home and really didn't do too much! Just like vacation should be =)
A while back I bought a timer remote control/intervalometer for my camera online so that I can shoot bulb, long timer, and time lapse shots. I knew it wouldn't arrive at home before we left for vacation, and I wanted to use it on the Island to shoot some star photos, so I had it shipped here. (Also, as I just learned, there is a meteor shower tonight - a perfect time for some practice!) Anyway, that arrived today so I spent the afternoon fiddling with it a bit - should be fun =)

More leftovers from last nights awesome dinner, then a board game night. We tried out this new game, Blurt, which is quite like Taboo. A "reader" rolls a die then draws a card and reads the definition on it. The other teams have to try to blurt out the word that goes with the definition as fast as they can. Whoever gets if first can then move however many spaces were rolled on the die. The words were a bit easy, but it was still fun! Then time for some nightly news, some Conan, and sleeps.
