As much as it pains me to say this, I'm ready to go back to school tomorrow.  I've really enjoyed the break and I feel like we have gotten a ton of stuff done, including Tadpole's room.  Today we tied up a few loose ends and ran a bunch of errands.  One of them was to get Sarah's rings inspected at Kay Jeweler at Metro North Mall.  I remember as a kid what a cool thing it was when dad would take us to the mall we would get popcorn from Topsy's (one of the only stores still open there) and watch the balloons.  We always got super excited when one of the balloons would hit the ceiling.  As Sarah was getting her rings worked on, I walked over and took this picture.  Those balloons are still going.
