Europe with a new Camera

Santa was pretty good to me this year. Amanda and my family chipped in and got me a new Canon Powershot sd550! I'm still learning how to use it and haven't taken any amazing pictures yet but will hopefully have some up soon. The most obvious features are a huge 2.5" lcd, 7.1mp images and a 3x optical zoom. I also like the 640*480 (30fps) video which I can zoom in and out while filming.

So you may also be wondering about the whole 'Europe' part of this post. If you didn't already know I'm taking Amanda on her first trip off the continent. We're both flying to the Netherlands in March. I'll be going for 2 weeks and she can only get one week off school so it's going to have to be enough. I'm really excited about introducing her to my family over there and enjoying some sights. Maybe I can visit the Alps since there is NO snow in this part of the world.

All in all it's been a fun Christmas. Amanda had a great birthday which we celebrated at my mom's with a fondue (cheese AND oil). I've got to do some reading and we met up with lots of friends. Hope your holiday has been good as well.
