Auckland, Day Two.

Sounds like your trip is wonderful so far. I'm sure each day will be better and better. Enjoy the sister time - PRICELESS. Peace and blessings.

Your trip sounds wonderful! What a great thing to get to hang with your sister!
Thanks for sharing!

your trip sounds wonderful!
question for you, cathy and her daughter: you're all wearing/carrying bags of bright colors. are they purses? totes? I bet they're adorable... any photos of the bags? (i HEART bags!)
if you all got them at the same place - where would that be?

Sorry gotta stop posting but now that you are in my backyard I am finding it hard to stop recommending places to visit! Which brings me to Rotorua! You should go on the Luge (fun for the whole family) and to the Agrodome - they have the Zorb and an awesome chocolate/fudge shop! Have fun!!! :)

who'd a thought...scrapbooking would take you to these places...rock on with your story!

What a fun day for you. Oh love that Paper store. Yummo!

Sure hope you bought that sign. How will you ever get it home? I just found a Hyannis Ferry sign at a antique store on the Oregon coast, Had to have it!

I thought you did some street sign snatching there when I first saw that sign! (;
Sounds like a great trip!

so cool that you are traveling with family! love all the bonding going on!

Thats awesome that your sister is with you! Love the updates! Keep them coming :)

Another one who wants to know whose bag you're carrying! It's fabulous! Thanks for sharing snips of your trip!

Thinking of you while I am plugging away at work - sounds like great fun! Pampering and shopping - two of my fav things.

Ummm, why precisely am I not shopping with you and your sister?? Why am I not your 3rd sister????????

Sounds like you're having an amazing time!! Savor every minute!
