Its a pretty beautiful country you've got there.... 
I love the idea of Texas... Its so huge.... And the romance of the four seasons of Pennsylvania would be awesome too..... I plan to see the states before I die, we're hitting the theme parks when my youngest is ten, so about 4 years....
You really should Casey.... Really great country, heaps to do and see.... Cities and country are both awesome...Hubby wants to travel the states when he retires! It's something we always talk about!
I've got relatives in Perth, but I've never seen the top end.... Just waiting for the kids to get older to see Alice Springs and Ayres rock, and Darwin... I had relatives working at the Naval base in Darwin...
He wants to get a new Harley and go on a very long road trip.
The spa will be an awesome addition as it won't be as seasonal as the pool... Samson will get benefit from the spa relaxing his muscles and help put him to sleep at night... I'm also planning to put some fruit trees in large pots around the pool area That will be done for next summer... I've had to veto the slide plan as I cannot trust Samson with heights.... :-( Not until he's older.... Good grief it was good... Perfect for a cold evening here...
That's the best way to see it...
I had a meeting at my sons special school two days ago... He's improving drastically, faster than we had anticipated, but we still have areas that we need to work on, like taking him anywhere is a real issue... His teachers and therapists suggested that instead of taking him out of his comfort zone, we should try to set up the house so we can holiday at home.... Its important that Dave and I have a place we can go to de-stress.... Something we can use year round.... Its kind of what we were planning all along, but now I can start to plan our "respite area" or adult relaxation zone....
I plan to put a long spa right underneath the master bedroom window. I've got about 1.8m width, and 4 metres length of space, so I don't invade the walkway around my house....I will build a little outdoor bbq area out there as well.... Something I can take with me when I move, so now I'm looking at stainless steel benches and an outdoor fridge....
Just cooked the most delicious meal, corned silverside with garlic mash potatoes, baby carrots, grilled asparagus and spring onion and wholegrain mustard white sauce....
Taylor kits are good, but you can't be sure of the batch dates, so I feel a little better buying the recommended kit....
He can't wait til it gets warmer. It's still chilly over here with day time temps in the 60's!
