Getting Ready for New York

My trip for New York is getting closer & closer. My girlfriend & I can hardly stand it! Well I got out my camera today to make sure the battery is charged. Well I am still learning to use all the functions & buttons on this things. So I wanted to practice using some feature that will take "fast photos" so I don't miss anything while we are there. So reading the manual again, I think I found something that I can work. Well, here is our dog in an "action" shot. She has one of the biggest tongues.
