ScrapCrazyDiva's Got A Brand New Gadget...

I'm proud to announce that I'm the owner of a brand spankin' new Creative Labs Vado 4GB HD Pocket Camcorder. Wow, that's a really long title for such a small gadget (about the size of my Blackberry Curve)! Tiny, right?! Here's a pic of my gorgeous "Black Beauty"...

I just received it via UPS last night about 7 pm, so I need to charge her up & take her for a test drive. Lord knows I have plenty of test subjects around my household that are more than willing to help Mama out...LOL!

Anyhoo, I finally downloaded all of my pics from the Mini Vacation we took our kids to in San Diego right before school began. I must say I'm quite pleased with all of the pictures I took with my Canon PowerShot A630. She was a lovely Mother's Day Gift from my kiddos a few years back and she hasn't let me down one bit! We took the kids to Legoland and the SeaLife Aquarium while we were in Carlsbad, stayed in a suite that night and the next day, took them to the San Diego Zoo. Here are a couple of highlights from our trip...
