Wild Animal Park Layout

Here's a layout from our San Diego vacation. I'm planning to make a Photobook and have sections for each different park using a different kit for each park. I'll use this same template for the beginning of each section as a header page. Click for credits.

Texas Born...Texas Bread

Texas Born...Texas Bread is one of the slogans for Mrs. Baird's Bread. A popular brand here in Texas. Yesterday the kids and I went with the Spence's for a tour of their Ft. Worth bread factory. It was really interesting and we received samples of bread hot out of the oven. YUMMMMMY! You should have seen us in our hair nets and hard hats....totally hilarious!

Here's a few facts (so if I decide to scrapbook this I'll remember - even though they wouldn't allow any cameras inside :( )....

• Their oven can cook 2000 loaves at once
• They have 6 factories in Texas
• This is their 100th year - Mrs. Baird started selling bread in 1908.
• They make 5 million loaves a month and 60 million per year.
• They run their shifts 24x7.
• They have a metal detector as part of the assembly line just in case something accidentally gets into the dough.
• It takes 7 hours to create one loaf from beginning to end.
• They make Wendy's hamburger buns, as well as the 'store brands' for Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Albertson's with slightly different ingredients.
• Mrs. Baird's story

Very interesting and very fun!

A few more pics from San Diego

Back from Vacation!

We returned late Thursday night from San Diego. What a wonderful vacation! We visited Legoland, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. Plus spent some time swimming at the pool and at the beach. It was very fun! A great family vacation. I'm finally caught up with laundry and cleaning the house. Ready to do some scrapping now!

Here are just a few of my fave photos (I took over 600...yikes!!!)

I had Jan Pepe (and her friend Vicki D) help book my trip and it was really great. They got us some great deals at our hotel (free breakfast buffet every morning and valet parking) which saved us over $300. I highly recommend having a travel agent book your trip! Let me know if you need contact information!!
