Diana Lyn said:Told ya it was a week for a coupon! I was like YES YES YES---Bruce said, I take it you found the Michaels ad. Emma said--Yeah Mike's Let's Go Mommy!
I bet the delivery guy swiped my Michael's ad. 
Geez, now I have to go out and buy another one just so I can get the ad.

I received my new drier yesterday! Now I get to do more laundry
I will finish hanging DD's wall paper border today. I have discovered I like painting much better
Made dolphin cruise reservations for our Hilton Head trip over Spring break. We went with Discovery Cruises instead of through the DVC resort. DVC wanted $35 per person and I spent $48 for the three of us. Has anyone done a dolphin cruise while staying at HHI? How was it?
I will be going to Micheal's later. Anyone have a scrapbooking organizer they like?
Home Depot has an LG pair on sale today and tomorrow, if it wasn't so darn cold here, they may be in my future!rsschneck said:
cgcw said:We've always booked through Disney. Over the years we've become friends with Scott from Low Country Nature Tours so we have an awesome experience as we like to reminise about how things have changed. We no longer do the dolphin tour -- we pay the extra $$'s and do the beach combing. We go out to Dufuskie Island at low tide. On the way out, we see just as many dolphins as we would with the tour but once we get to the island, we get off the boat and walk up and down the island, finding shells and all sorts of treasures. It's more pricy than what you're spending. Is the cruise through Discovery Cruises on a small boat or a large boat? I'm sure you'll have an awesome experience whichever way you decide to go, however, with the smaller boats, you can actually see the dolphins up close. That's not always the case with the larger boats.
Not an entirely fair picture as the dolphin knew there was a boatload of fish, but here's a picture of one from last summer. We were on our way shark fishing with Scott and stopped to pick up some shad for bait (another awesome experience -- the kids loved picking up the little fish that were caught in about 30 seconds in a net!). But, here's an upclose view of what you might see:

I found a Disney Scrapbooking set for $50 and I will use the 40% off for that item later this week. Has a Mickey 12/12 album, papers and stickers. Very cute! I need to start on my Repo cruise photos and that would be a GREAT album. I figure $30 after the coupon is pretty good.

I need to get everthing done for 2006 before Gail and I head for WDW the end of March. Because that will be awhole lot more of Disney pages to do. We have reserved a spot to make a Disney floral arrangement at SSR. That should make for a lot of interesting pictures. Who knows what else Gail will think up for us to do.

In fact, Cameron had a great time and told me he's going to LOVE being a Boy Scout. I'm excited for him as he dragged his feet so long making his decision and in the end, was talked into giving it a 6 month committment. It doesn't look like that's going to be a problem now. They didn't end up sleeping outside all night -- but they did have to spend 1 hour tucked into their sleeping bags as if they were sleeping to make sure they knew how to do it. After that, they spent the night in the church. The Cub Scouts had to put up a tent in the gym to learn how to do it -- not a problem for Cameron as he's been camping enough to know how to set it up. ) you really should. It's very different and seems to be growing on my family. 
cgcw said:We've always rented bikes. It's such an easy ride to the beach, it makes for a nice trip. We've rented only through Disney but I will tell you, one year, the bike I had was jinxed. Not once, but twice, I had major problems with them. There is a bike rental shop right on the way to the beach. I can't recall the name of it but when my bike broke down a couple blocks from there -- they were awesome in helping us out. Not only did the let me use one of their bikes to continue our ride to the beach, but they took care of calling Disney and arranging for a replacement bike. All we had to do was stop on our way back and switch the bikes. Lesson learned -- always carry our cell phone with just in case.
A pontoon boat would not be bad. It's much smaller than some of the larger boats that go out on tours from Shelter Cove. I know they are a lot more economical, but those big boats with probably 100 people on them, if not more, can't possibily get close to any of the dolphins or wildlife along the shore. I'll be interested in hearing how you enjoy it when you get back.

We have decided to go with a Bike rental company because we figured their bikes are probably better maintained than some of the DVC bikes we have seen on previous trips. I think their prices are good too! We want to visit the Nature Center in Sea Pines, have you been their? We are spending a day in Savannah and will visit the outlet mall too! We have some friends that live around Fayetteville, NC that might try to come down for a day or two. We LOVE DVC's HHI!
