A photo of one of the balancing acts you have to perform on the Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii. With my lack of balance it was a challenge.

Work those flabby abs in this side twister.

I suppose this would be step aerobics. There is a definite requirement for coordination here. For some unknown reason I didn't do so well. I think there is a learning curve on this one to learn what you need to do.

First glance... The Wii Fit can really put the workout to you. I would not have thought it would be so difficult.

Wii fit

So today is the release date for the Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii system. I got a hunch that the units might sell out quickly this morning. Originally I'd planned to go at lunch and try to get a system, however last night I changed my mind and decided to be there when Best Buy opened.

I arrived at Best Buy at 10:00am est. I had even checked my clock against atomic time before leaving home. When I pulled into the parking lot it was 1/3 full and people were already in the store. I feared the worst as I went in search of the Wii Fit.In the store everyone I saw was carrying a Wii Fit. Near the Nintendo Wii section there was a crowd of 15+ people. I thought I'd missed it... A sales rep came by and I asked if I'd missed them and he told me there were some left on the next row. I dashed to where he pointed and scored a Wii Fit!

Fifteen minutes later and I would not have got a Nintendo Wii Fit.

I've got some work to do so I won't get to play with it until lunch. More later from one of the cool people that scored a Wii Fit, me! Remember there are those less fortunate that didn't get a Wii Fit.

Home

Back to North Carolina and it is still raining!

Peach anyone?

Rain

We are just outside of Greenville, SC and it is pouring down rain. It was
raining when we left Texas and it has rained most of the way home.

We had breakfast at Cracker Barrel, filled the truck up with petrol and added some oil. Headed home.

Slept in at a cracker barrel in georgia at exit 18. Slept good. Its raining again... Rained all day yesterday.

We are in Georgia.

New Orleans

We decided to take 10 through New Orleans. It was raining so we couldn't
see great. We did see a lot of damage on the East side. No shots fired.

Louisiana Visitor Center

We stopped by the Louisiana Visitors Center at the Atchafalaya Basin. This
is the nations largest swamp, covering nearly 1 million acres. Lisa would
not ride the turtle, so we took a picture beside of him.
This was an awesome visitors center, located off the 18 mile Basin Bridge.
They even had a talking turtle and raccoon. How cool is that?

Cajun Tails

We are going to give the Cajun Tails a thumbs down. Very slow and food not
so good.

Gotta keep'm down in LA

All the gravesites have stones on top.

Welcome to Louisiana

Departing

We birded this morning for a couple of hours and got 10 species of warblers
at Sabine Woods. We left at 10:40am headed for NC. It is raining so that
makes it a little easier to leave.

Breakfast

Breakfast on the beach just down from Sea Rim State Park.

Got an email from Doug, he is already back in Canada!

A bit of birding at The Willows and Sabine Woods and it all comes to a
close.

Put the candle in the window, I'm coming home.
