Ana, it's asking me to sign in to view?  Do I need to do that; I didn't with the other set?

Fabulous! It worked, and I'm going to have to order some prints. Love the ones of all in their hoodies (and the cows are priceless) and I thank you for not posting the one of the pleats  LOL

The hoodie ones are some of my favorites too.  LOL  The one of the pleats was for my personal reference only, I was never going to post that. One of these days I'll get my courage up and cut into that tartan. As for the cows, I feel an explanation is in order. The cows were an excellent navigation device. I figured I might need one after drinking a "little" in the evening. The a$$ of the white cow lined perfectly with our window. I had a chance to try it out when Pat & I had to find our way in the dark back to my room to pay a visit to the little girls' room. It worked very well.  :drunk :drunk :drunk

I took it from right in front of our door. There were kids climbing on the cows, so I guess they were pretty sturdy. Also, they looked hilarious from inside of the tent. They looked like they were taking a peek inside!  LOL

Again, great pictures. You all looked cold, but having fun. I keep waiting for more hoodies to be for sale on the website.
How cold was it? I didn't think it ever got very cold in FL.

It was reasonably warm in the morning and then the temps dropped as the day went on. It was windy, too. What made it worse was that most people had not dressed appropriately. You never know what to wear here, we get sudden cold snaps. Even Jamesie said he was cold.

I was born in the Arctic Cirlce, live in the ever-luvin snow covered mtns. of NC, sleep with the air on or the windows open and I still *froze* that afternoon!  Ana's right, the wind was biting, but that morning was reasonable so we were all in short sleeves at first  :%  The Nach swag table had a run on hoodies and long sleeve shirts  :p  All part of the adventure...

Jumping on board with Ana, here's the link to my photos from Central Fla games and Ft Myers. In between are sightseeing photos in Miami and Key West. Ana was a great tour guide!!  Enjoy!

 Darkreader - Thanks for sharing your pictures. I so enjoyed them. It looks like you all had fun. I am looking forward to hearing the Nach play live. And all those bagpipes, wow. That must really be something!! I so love the bagpipes.
I hope you attend the Pleasanton Games in Sept. It would be nice to meet some of you and enjoy not only good music, but good company.

 LOL That's why they're called adventures  :D Whoever heard of a "boring" adventure?  :-|

It's Ok as long as you can laugh about it later - I've had a couple of interesting ones wondering around the state by myself  LOL Not for the faint of heart!

Great pictures, Caryl. Gotta love that zoom lens of yours!  I'm glad you enjoyed the "tour". It was a lot of fun showing you around. I don't get to see some of this stuff as much as I would like/should. Being a local, sometimes you take things for granted and forget they're there. We sure did have fun.  :drunk :bounce

Yep, I'll be in Pleasanton in Sept.  We'll have to arrange a meeting.  I'll be the short one hangin' at their merch table.

I'll be there. Not sure what time anything gets going, but I will look for you. Once things get set with times, we can set a time to meet. It will be me and my husband for sure. Our daughter wants to come, but may not. Possibly my friend and her daughter, but too far out to tell yet.
Just look for jeans, boots and a cane, that would be me.  Don't leave home without them.

LOL, I'd only heard that rubbing your *hand* on a bald man's head was good luck; does the other work?!  :evilgrin
