Mike and I piled more than you can ever imagine in the car and headed to Florida. Had some nice days with my side of the fam and then we flew to MN on Christmas Eve for mikes side. All the while leaving Bella with Grandma and Grandpa in her winter fur coat for a Florida vacation. The day we left Bella found her way to the top of the kichen table and ate the top of a huge apple strudel, she knows she has different rules at grandma's I guess. I wish I had seen the dog standing on top of the table, I know she is a bad dog, but really, wow. Balls. What I do have pictures of are from New Years Eve where we had a good time at the Magic Kingdom. Day started with Funnel cakes for breakfast, and ended with some giant turkey legs. Gross to pick the meat off the big leg, but tasty smoked turkey meat was good rewards. Disney has done up the castle to look like it is covered in ice very nice job of lighting and fireworks when the time was right. Happy New year to everyone who reads my words. Oh and we had a sober new year, that is sprite we toasted with, and it made the drive home on New Years day to be a lot more barable. We listened to 1000 Splendid Suns on the drive, and I would highly recommend it to you all.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-8008962035349412072007-12-11T20:41:00.000-08:002007-12-11T20:52:44.101-08:00Kauai bonus tracks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_4z-3AESVT8Zntqq3S3QvKaZ4-IRLHIlaryI_yqD4ggub9aja69VeYtD2POqBih9Pcao2TRfet7IULn6DACXHWLKwxQZgDIeXMlWa3NoxI-1cMwuqhKHjKw3YhvmscrEawvWFJSFOQ52A/s1600-h/weimea+canyon.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_4z-3AESVT8Zntqq3S3QvKaZ4-IRLHIlaryI_yqD4ggub9aja69VeYtD2POqBih9Pcao2TRfet7IULn6DACXHWLKwxQZgDIeXMlWa3NoxI-1cMwuqhKHjKw3YhvmscrEawvWFJSFOQ52A/s200/weimea+canyon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142943422080991858" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyiMY7Vh2AbfESeqI4Kim5jW5-d9xfmDR983Wc_8NYQ7p-t9nqBuARIwIrJKI8hcvXon9VY5uvuQOu7uGjCdaIdqfGAvYCFtu5FW9QN1FfFO6SRU7cxhTzkOL_Fv1V5xgLJbYriu2tm47/s1600-h/blue+sky.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyiMY7Vh2AbfESeqI4Kim5jW5-d9xfmDR983Wc_8NYQ7p-t9nqBuARIwIrJKI8hcvXon9VY5uvuQOu7uGjCdaIdqfGAvYCFtu5FW9QN1FfFO6SRU7cxhTzkOL_Fv1V5xgLJbYriu2tm47/s200/blue+sky.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142943185857790514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkbctZqMWeqdxesh9Cb35Sw9vg-_yB6etCOwcHsF4Vybx2WVYPWj7TbYy2UhndhVq0bD4g7PpgG25YV9HxxLRAZra7enkjJmtFPJedIR2TQhpDel0f5rYoK4GkbaWtH-bIaT_z_eBk6cC/s1600-h/cock+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkbctZqMWeqdxesh9Cb35Sw9vg-_yB6etCOwcHsF4Vybx2WVYPWj7TbYy2UhndhVq0bD4g7PpgG25YV9HxxLRAZra7enkjJmtFPJedIR2TQhpDel0f5rYoK4GkbaWtH-bIaT_z_eBk6cC/s200/cock+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142943190152757826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvKhmxudAwAp19QsieEviYV72Hv3P_MfMf_zNNdsumsHIw2Z6k3Kgz6ayHgnv7mEYLAy6RrBQEzAXldehhDUdCv3awSi5k3rCdVvpPymLNxwL5wZXejPNzPpF6l-iT8wxp_zrA2SrLFhkM/s1600-h/shave+ice.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvKhmxudAwAp19QsieEviYV72Hv3P_MfMf_zNNdsumsHIw2Z6k3Kgz6ayHgnv7mEYLAy6RrBQEzAXldehhDUdCv3awSi5k3rCdVvpPymLNxwL5wZXejPNzPpF6l-iT8wxp_zrA2SrLFhkM/s200/shave+ice.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142943194447725138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOZRPhO4HKYG297-IVS6W0fUR-v6OHhOZD0CswtnLPvkQKtTtyHbBTwITAZauniIc6fNif8qi-Az-HgI1P1KEdGHbKy2Yhu08q-mgVmMHzmomRb3tPYIxEHZYOYhF68FVT1RyxvJsOzZo3/s1600-h/hula+pie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOZRPhO4HKYG297-IVS6W0fUR-v6OHhOZD0CswtnLPvkQKtTtyHbBTwITAZauniIc6fNif8qi-Az-HgI1P1KEdGHbKy2Yhu08q-mgVmMHzmomRb3tPYIxEHZYOYhF68FVT1RyxvJsOzZo3/s200/hula+pie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142943194447725154" /></a><br />This is the misc category... <br /><br />There are chickens all over Kauai, people have many excuses for why, who cares, when this guy is watching you eat, you kind of wonder when they are gonna take over.<br /><br />Second trip to shrimp station lead us up to see waimea canyon and this is what we saw. If you have been there, you know what we are missing, if you have not look up the image and see how sad this is.<br /><br />We did not take a pix at jojo's because it was pouring rain and we ate inside and it was dark, here is some shave ice photo evidence, from a less delightful but still consumed shave ice place. <br /><br />Random picture of a moment that the blue sky showed. seriously random and that is why there is a picture.<br /><br />Hula Pie, a famous dessert that my friend Keahi loved to talk about. We tried it and loved it, it is true that sailors would swim to shore for this. You can find this at Duke's restaurants, they have a bunch on Kauai and Maui. <br /><br />Whoever owns the land that the Coco Palms hotel is on I hope you get to develop it, Mike and I will be playing the lotto and hoping to be the money behind the magic because it is a shame that is decaying on such a nice spot. If we do not win we will come stay when you open it up.

First we tried garlic and spicey thai both were good. two days later we were back for more and tried the cajun and sweet chili again both good. We did not want to mess with the less work fried variety and focused on the mess making kind. Down the street from Shrimp Station is JoJo's shave ice, the best we had on the island.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-40698863765581067082007-12-11T20:29:00.000-08:002007-12-11T20:37:04.892-08:00Luau on Kauai<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq8sJPUwT6ZopOnO4qGDTCi4D0QqGA7JsrEalMf2PwTmKT7L9fA0u9r5mnunzGnc26PLfig4lzEu1gbDRDlomqmSbQxUTVNJ40nCZpD6-9seVFSzMeLcunLe-_kicuEnXiNjxPDHVosgXU/s1600-h/easter+island.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq8sJPUwT6ZopOnO4qGDTCi4D0QqGA7JsrEalMf2PwTmKT7L9fA0u9r5mnunzGnc26PLfig4lzEu1gbDRDlomqmSbQxUTVNJ40nCZpD6-9seVFSzMeLcunLe-_kicuEnXiNjxPDHVosgXU/s200/easter+island.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142940656122053058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHFf0Dp1pLVxpQ4Xq0_hG-Gs2ATuA1RNLosLQa1bGiXEQJBbfR2sAWV-bGtH3YQIPQmXAecFryNYIHMAWZlX3cIL8gxwj6aZa5vRlriPM9sPXPb7F6Gocz2wGg9WhiHLQFjI6XvWBcGKAi/s1600-h/luau.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHFf0Dp1pLVxpQ4Xq0_hG-Gs2ATuA1RNLosLQa1bGiXEQJBbfR2sAWV-bGtH3YQIPQmXAecFryNYIHMAWZlX3cIL8gxwj6aZa5vRlriPM9sPXPb7F6Gocz2wGg9WhiHLQFjI6XvWBcGKAi/s200/luau.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142940660417020370" /></a><br />We went to the Smith family Luau on our trip to Kauai. Here is what you need to know, you get there, you look at beautiful gardens, which on a nice day are probably fabulous, for us it was muddy. About an hour after you arrive they remove the pig from the Imu and then the bar is open from about 6 to about 7:30 when they move you to the show portion of the night. Food is ok, if that is your reason for going. Mai Tai's are decent, and you can get a pretty mean chi chi that is on the rocks from the bar. If you have a lot of these free drinks the dancing portion looks a little funny. We liked the way the lady dancers kind of sang along and chanted. Money well spent.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-29411691363905177882007-12-11T13:14:00.000-08:002007-12-11T13:44:10.026-08:00Tiger manOK I admit people amuse me. The guy I got to sit next to on the plane from Minnesota to LA for our flight to Hawaii was over the top and needs some time spent telling you all about him. First off we are boarding the plane and looking for overhead bin space and there was a guy coming up the aisle as everyone was trying to come down and I said to him, can you step into a seat so we can get past you. He was kind of frantic and was yelling at someone further up in the plane so I tried to just disregard him all together. I went to row 30 where we were sitting and put my butt in the aisle chair waiting for Mike to come down the aisle to take the window and I would move to the center seat. The "guy" yells down the aisle to me "hey that's my seat" I was like is this guy for real, I yelled back I would be moving over and to keep his shirt on. Really I should have said pants because then I realized he was wearing tiger striped zooba pants. Mike and I went through our "sorry roger you tiger now" giggles and settled in. Tiger guy comes and takes his seat on the aisle and is leaning over me to look out the window, when he informs me that they are loading his dog on the plane and he is sitting back here with us so he can watch and make sure they do not drop any dogs. Automatically I am like OK this guy is worried about his dog, I can simmer. Further inspection shows this guy has a ponytail and has put on tiger striped reading glasses, more giggles. So of course we start talking and he tells us he is a taxidermist in MN and I had to ask, does he have a tiger. Apparently yes, but it is a rug, in a box and an antique. He is on his way to LA for the Ultimate Dog Championships and his dog is a champion in the agility category. Celebrity sighting this early in our trip, so lucky am I. Over time I learn his wife makes his zoobas because they do not make them anymore, and she likes to find the crazy fabric for him, because it is his schtick. sure. Zooba pants were created in MN so he is just a home town guy going to a big city to show off his champion dog. We wished him well and I can not find a picture of him on the internet or I would have one here for you, because seriously he was a genuine character.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-79464050134253443012007-12-11T12:52:00.000-08:002007-12-11T13:14:39.669-08:00Mountain Tubing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGs2kp9uGj3AUZ0PByL88Xmat9albIzvw86z-z-zFBWIisky8YzxZnQy3txSFgG1_m2UGTT0H-wd2wRvoXnVrkMxsIvOIViFsH035GBUO8RS98CvsRN3R_eaUXWf5_437eA0GswUQ6gqAL/s1600-h/beginning+of+tubing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

As you know from the helicopter ride the clouds came in and started to ruin our Kauai parade, just like Maui. Needless to say we woke up to clouds and rain on Friday and knew we were committed to sitting in cold mountain water, great. After being outfitted with helmets, headlamps, and gloves we got to ride in a cool Swiss mountain vehicle that had 6 wheel drive up to the drop in area. Once there we got to walk into the cold mountain stream and put our butt in the tube and were given the instructions to keep your ankles crossed, arms and elbows in and away we went. The canals and such were made in 1860-1874 to fuel the sugar plantations with the needed water for growing. The water looked like the chocolate river from Willy Wonka but taking water in the face on a "rapid" proved it to taste not good. There were 5 tunnels we got to float through the longest being 3/4 of a mile long. Tunnel 5 has some kind of indigenous endangered bat living in it so we rode through with no lights. I felt like I was going down a side tunnel and away from the group and had a moment of serious panic where I almost freaked myself out enough to fall out of my tube. Lucky for us a kid was more scared than I was and he kept turning his light on which showed me that I was still with the rest of the group. Mike relays that the kids face was priceless, so scared, and he would get yelled at to turn out his light, and a few moments later it would be back on. I was to busy calming myself down to see this. So to recap water cold, but a very cool ECO tour and worth your time and money. If you are going to go to Kauai this is something you might want to make a reservation for before you go as apparently it is booked up months in advance. I bet it is awesome when it is 80 and sunny, but even 70 and raining was fun. And now that you know, when you go into tunnel 5 just put your hand on another persons tube so you do not feel so alone.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-48270008064218274942007-12-06T20:46:00.001-08:002007-12-06T21:12:37.606-08:00Kauai from the air<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMfnUTWyxhLNlXD6LiMG6B6zbe1j40LApEZtibT2zVmM5FT-Ph7q46hIUFvl865p9O05Cc93HMMg3rWjiUiBGWucWUKq2-NgrUb20AEcEWDo9tDRbEjQGlmDj3urY9C3WkEwItTAEVLSP/s1600-h/us+in+chopper.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMfnUTWyxhLNlXD6LiMG6B6zbe1j40LApEZtibT2zVmM5FT-Ph7q46hIUFvl865p9O05Cc93HMMg3rWjiUiBGWucWUKq2-NgrUb20AEcEWDo9tDRbEjQGlmDj3urY9C3WkEwItTAEVLSP/s200/us+in+chopper.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141089469382902002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRqOrKMT4XGA0q9IjMnmjUVm7JcaNCF6APIWjC8JAJu9wx2yk_XToIlsTnjJwLbvBBbFC_S0gojYBadbfi66P2oZ9K706IgaQJLGFm4VlbERkxCYvB0ap_sxpZTh5iKliLaEjqZn7EDOCB/s1600-h/jurassic+park+falls.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRqOrKMT4XGA0q9IjMnmjUVm7JcaNCF6APIWjC8JAJu9wx2yk_XToIlsTnjJwLbvBBbFC_S0gojYBadbfi66P2oZ9K706IgaQJLGFm4VlbERkxCYvB0ap_sxpZTh5iKliLaEjqZn7EDOCB/s200/jurassic+park+falls.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141089473677869314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmHNZTrfXA_jZM6n4MyKlu3QTreHI4jMkHMdD_AhqeVstlzcO8kFHRauQqp58OXW962j9WSZ2Jd0hN0f1eu5rmD_o2Sd2uWNErB4h1ZmxewW3zoJ2LR8S-Nyq0xPEq2Nhs31uXXZwKozM/s1600-h/crater.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmHNZTrfXA_jZM6n4MyKlu3QTreHI4jMkHMdD_AhqeVstlzcO8kFHRauQqp58OXW962j9WSZ2Jd0hN0f1eu5rmD_o2Sd2uWNErB4h1ZmxewW3zoJ2LR8S-Nyq0xPEq2Nhs31uXXZwKozM/s200/crater.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141089473677869330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9kLkM4qGpc-lFNgxfUKJfxNKUQSSmqes2EFJaZn2o0Ls-P5FKWDU_b7e6n4vJUoycac2yOq8_LYlBHmbYnDiTJJmdJRcVJmsy-TKbFqV09YowrGiXXaItDuOVW71kerVDnKqAD3vx4HQE/s1600-h/mist+and+mountains.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9kLkM4qGpc-lFNgxfUKJfxNKUQSSmqes2EFJaZn2o0Ls-P5FKWDU_b7e6n4vJUoycac2yOq8_LYlBHmbYnDiTJJmdJRcVJmsy-TKbFqV09YowrGiXXaItDuOVW71kerVDnKqAD3vx4HQE/s200/mist+and+mountains.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141089477972836642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSIvRBwG9jJTgSf1_klUjs62RVpVRgLI-Kv8lQWC3djh36fkYW15Sjx1tRRDcFe2M0qL5E2bCi5X2fJ2KCQlIbslLHV1ap6c9sdWRrLMWxcvt4ot21ebzwiwfuedqlnTFxiQqOYHbP681f/s1600-h/waves.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSIvRBwG9jJTgSf1_klUjs62RVpVRgLI-Kv8lQWC3djh36fkYW15Sjx1tRRDcFe2M0qL5E2bCi5X2fJ2KCQlIbslLHV1ap6c9sdWRrLMWxcvt4ot21ebzwiwfuedqlnTFxiQqOYHbP681f/s200/waves.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141089482267803954" border="0" /></a><br />Things were looking up in Kauai. We arrived to sun and went to try Hula Pie. A dessert often mentioned to me from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Keahi</span>. It was good. We tried out the pool at our hotel and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">actually</span> saw stars when walking on the beach at night. After our orientation breakfast we booked a helicopter ride around the island thinking we needed to maximise the sunlight. As we were waiting at the chopper pad the sky was getting dark and they still let us go up in the air. It was a beautiful and amazing ride and kind of scary too. We got to look at the Jurassic park waterfall and they played the music while we were doing that and got to go kind of around the island. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">rain</span> was coming east so the pilot did some fancy <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">maneuvers</span> to get us around to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Na Pali</span> coast and the only thing we really missed was the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Wailea</span> Canyon which we can try and drive to if it ever stops raining.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-47086062059279581932007-12-06T20:35:00.001-08:002007-12-06T20:45:37.745-08:00Maui the weather sucks, but the food...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijMIXKna42IrLJYIGvYypWZT3EjAhdBsdUQI-KBlR7MNvGWEPTG9ASg3spTYMNn0tqz-NYLvP7RKT0ylR3GY-ST_PkfhuSsYdNQZtIcF3ObrvpN8v4MvBgRjkjpPXtr9WkoK1gNupUlbzr/s1600-h/brown+water.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijMIXKna42IrLJYIGvYypWZT3EjAhdBsdUQI-KBlR7MNvGWEPTG9ASg3spTYMNn0tqz-NYLvP7RKT0ylR3GY-ST_PkfhuSsYdNQZtIcF3ObrvpN8v4MvBgRjkjpPXtr9WkoK1gNupUlbzr/s200/brown+water.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141085316149526674" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjG2VSsKMb3hX37rO-NjfU9x9yE88-pARWnysFzdumaA6IhY91sGZDLVTNeRP1ifX1QoJ0-PRLLpTbhz28nFat6aiM6M9_BLHBwOLL5tJXuGifu_4_Hzj1zv0nxe3HoQJjxUC_VwcJ7B4H/s1600-h/maui+out+our+lani.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjG2VSsKMb3hX37rO-NjfU9x9yE88-pARWnysFzdumaA6IhY91sGZDLVTNeRP1ifX1QoJ0-PRLLpTbhz28nFat6aiM6M9_BLHBwOLL5tJXuGifu_4_Hzj1zv0nxe3HoQJjxUC_VwcJ7B4H/s200/maui+out+our+lani.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141085320444493986" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTSDQKYr-KY2vKIAwih6V_PB0JJ0qy8xwtmSPD_Mc8TzQBUW_CSRB7_GNsgoiXn0ti7ROXZeF-tXgA05evMsXrcsmqk4ZEoIwtNo1p9X2Gq5ij_t0Iszvk4uGqf_nsyE741K3tIwqxUaj/s1600-h/mike+with+malasada.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTSDQKYr-KY2vKIAwih6V_PB0JJ0qy8xwtmSPD_Mc8TzQBUW_CSRB7_GNsgoiXn0ti7ROXZeF-tXgA05evMsXrcsmqk4ZEoIwtNo1p9X2Gq5ij_t0Iszvk4uGqf_nsyE741K3tIwqxUaj/s200/mike+with+malasada.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141085320444494002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrmxHtybryIRMq34i7f3PFn9LuMTFsEDvK79dM9Phc73XwXkd6ambUjw1gxZ89ltm9KDNVxcMq_sMAoN76IJX2etO4eHyKwabCoCLRkHCKgKfsNTf39bCHyV4-6Ospb1jCU58QfgpkVo3/s1600-h/me+and+malasada.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrmxHtybryIRMq34i7f3PFn9LuMTFsEDvK79dM9Phc73XwXkd6ambUjw1gxZ89ltm9KDNVxcMq_sMAoN76IJX2etO4eHyKwabCoCLRkHCKgKfsNTf39bCHyV4-6Ospb1jCU58QfgpkVo3/s200/me+and+malasada.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141085324739461314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTQaiBLlOx4Djmx72adGUwGUAqgfhwxKE1R1RYjWkLbrJJ8ibvKqWcc64tYf3TYtPUp3TrHX8vPz417Fc1ZvTgAaLZH7ixbTpJDc8Bbz3IbRWiKCBHXo-vjw4N456mrsln1d2fFAoNIAa5/s1600-h/bathroom+in+maui.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTQaiBLlOx4Djmx72adGUwGUAqgfhwxKE1R1RYjWkLbrJJ8ibvKqWcc64tYf3TYtPUp3TrHX8vPz417Fc1ZvTgAaLZH7ixbTpJDc8Bbz3IbRWiKCBHXo-vjw4N456mrsln1d2fFAoNIAa5/s200/bathroom+in+maui.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141085329034428626" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhug9AzK2ZYg65Q-cVv6dXqqucDmu9A89L1agSAHJ_7g07K7cmsP3DxqzBjUdrGI98f1DwS-owi0TynKKU6brpZbrE8Kkm9r03I9KJNJobbYcRDE-Kpx3lsQ3VU0Crno5mlMcppBqcoscX2/s1600-h/breadfruit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhug9AzK2ZYg65Q-cVv6dXqqucDmu9A89L1agSAHJ_7g07K7cmsP3DxqzBjUdrGI98f1DwS-owi0TynKKU6brpZbrE8Kkm9r03I9KJNJobbYcRDE-Kpx3lsQ3VU0Crno5mlMcppBqcoscX2/s200/breadfruit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141087390618730722" border="0" /></a>This is evidence of the brown surf. Then the last day in Maui we woke up early, it was dry and we went to go to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Lahina</span> to shop and have some breakfast. Only the Typhoon stopped us. Next pic is out our lani in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Ka'anapali</span> the pool water was level with the concrete and running toward the main building of the Hotel. We flew to Kauai at 2pm, our flight out was the first one of the day because the airport had been closed during the thunder and lightning earlier in the day. But all was not lost in Maui. We had yummy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Malasada's</span> (<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Portuguese</span> donuts) that were hot out of the oven/fryer. On the road to Hana we spotted this fun bathroom door, that I gave a big kick to and now have a black eye to prove it, just kidding. We stopped at a roadside stand for pork tacos and got to try breadfrui. It actually had the texture of white bread, we ate it with butter and sweet chili sauce and it was tasty. More pictures of Hana and good times there in the rain to come, the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">battery</span> on my camera died after the breadfruit so Mike has to do some work before you can see the black sand beach.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-90974432102654090132007-12-06T20:20:00.001-08:002007-12-06T20:35:27.814-08:00Maui<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhozLNZBzpy6e7Aw91m5aa0qS_uy5pULwOVyjVgJ7T25GNSD1nzfAOprmvL-hWB8DkTlFwW46HkKZDcU1dErL3Ol92RUgeWUAnQkZbRzCNFTYKYnoxbIzWyFG6qjEofW2qxwlcfAG9iW2XX/s1600-h/ka'anapali+beach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhozLNZBzpy6e7Aw91m5aa0qS_uy5pULwOVyjVgJ7T25GNSD1nzfAOprmvL-hWB8DkTlFwW46HkKZDcU1dErL3Ol92RUgeWUAnQkZbRzCNFTYKYnoxbIzWyFG6qjEofW2qxwlcfAG9iW2XX/s200/ka'anapali+beach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141082382686863410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjamUqSlNuV9j2TMkMMlURoUJI2xFTlGZTMQnS7oAc3JbuQjwkRLnoTx2A70jTa4GhsTQVvWwVPhU8NoAecZEn8Jqvny2ZzIa4Q12bIEZshvaAU43a3QegyEvn-HRhMQqjZ9tfFQlPfIhDK/s1600-h/eric+and+pati.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjamUqSlNuV9j2TMkMMlURoUJI2xFTlGZTMQnS7oAc3JbuQjwkRLnoTx2A70jTa4GhsTQVvWwVPhU8NoAecZEn8Jqvny2ZzIa4Q12bIEZshvaAU43a3QegyEvn-HRhMQqjZ9tfFQlPfIhDK/s200/eric+and+pati.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141082395571765314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBXw40DvOAQQBgbP7KaknZtlCnpIJxyfyrXjM1XcC1KNOtppwdYlvAduXotTiW_KFOVWb11C5m1RTBefoXZtC6k5xFaFMQSn1jdLvatgr2X_x7Na1ozruGRfgzJS4YCxxmtlrcQnhIY0UZ/s1600-h/shaka+kan.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBXw40DvOAQQBgbP7KaknZtlCnpIJxyfyrXjM1XcC1KNOtppwdYlvAduXotTiW_KFOVWb11C5m1RTBefoXZtC6k5xFaFMQSn1jdLvatgr2X_x7Na1ozruGRfgzJS4YCxxmtlrcQnhIY0UZ/s200/shaka+kan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141082395571765330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5VkMYNyoqXjGaBO422LcVdKrTRaOXtoKhnRuyJfRiuK2LLPkqyLfUeq_FfyS_uHy2kczxFa5jx9AMAS5Bx8VCqfemDJD1-0TsVY-khDcGgFqXEdnsiWe-Vi6f_OUPPUi8r2H-Tkq-JmfC/s1600-h/guy+lighting+black+rock.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5VkMYNyoqXjGaBO422LcVdKrTRaOXtoKhnRuyJfRiuK2LLPkqyLfUeq_FfyS_uHy2kczxFa5jx9AMAS5Bx8VCqfemDJD1-0TsVY-khDcGgFqXEdnsiWe-Vi6f_OUPPUi8r2H-Tkq-JmfC/s200/guy+lighting+black+rock.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141082404161699938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge5EW-GKYD2Kq-eEPa_5Exszgp1bTeN47gjE5uP1b3XDJANjSOBWX6N-XVElITNlvTCLmhU-6LTFs6Uc-hTCrv8n_vj44WFK2qUUUsadirxUp5_bNlLApI3PZL82ix0aks907uhRizZody/s1600-h/wedding+cake+.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge5EW-GKYD2Kq-eEPa_5Exszgp1bTeN47gjE5uP1b3XDJANjSOBWX6N-XVElITNlvTCLmhU-6LTFs6Uc-hTCrv8n_vj44WFK2qUUUsadirxUp5_bNlLApI3PZL82ix0aks907uhRizZody/s200/wedding+cake+.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141082408456667250" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Sunday in Maui we started by going to a bar at 8am to watch the MN football game. On the way back we put our toes in the ocean. Based on the storm system that has come through it is the only good day to have done it. Now the ocean is full of runoff and sand and the water is brown and gross. Pati and Eric got married at 5 on the beach and the sky cleared and the sun started to come out for them. We got to watch the lighting of Black Rock as part of our walk out on the beach for the wedding. The woman that married Eric and Pati. Mike and I had seen earlier in the hotel and named her Chaka Kan after her very beautiful hair. She sang to Eric and Pati and gave them a very beautiful ceremony that brought tears to many...even me.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-29390419272142946082007-11-09T14:43:00.000-08:002007-11-10T14:49:58.674-08:00Flying monkeyBella has a toy that is a flying monkey. The first one was a gift from Kari from back in the days when Bella lived in my car in the EB parking lot. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Bri</span> and Kari had bought it at a gas station and for whatever reason this toy became one of her favorites. Its days ended in Seattle when she almost got to the part that houses the electronics that make it scream when you throw it. Here in DC I found her a new one at Bed Bath and Beyond, that is really beyond if you ask me but she was very glad to have it. She has proceeded to chew the face off and now it smells bad so she is due for a new one. I picked one up on Friday while at the B B &B and carried it and the other things I had bought out to the car where Bella was waiting for me. Now that it is colder I take her along as my sidekick so she does not cry in her kennel at home. I left the bag in the car to go run other errands and came back to the car to find Bella and the new monkey laying in the drivers seat. BAD DOG. How did she know that was in there, what must it smell like to her that she can sniff it out like that, and what a weird obsession she has with the flying monkey. The rest of the drive I had to keep pushing her head away from the bag as she was trying to get it back out, she knows it is for her. Now you probably think I am mean and why not let her have it. Well I have my reasons. When we go to Hawaii at the end of the month our friend Isaac is staying with Bella for us so I bought it for HIM to give to her while we are gone so she thinks he is a cool guy and associates him with the arrival of the new monkey.

I have to dress up the dog she hates it and that might take like 10% of the fun out of it. We got this costume at Target, love that place. The head piece has slits for her ears to pull through and then <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Velcro's</span> by her neck so there was no way she could get it off, this is a genius move by someone and people should really note that. I could get her in way more things if this was done. Anyways we are not endorsing Bee Movie and I called her bee girl and tried to get her to dance like the blind melon video, and she wore this thing almost all day. As a kid I remember wanting to sleep in your costume and Mike spared her that and she slept in her regular cute outfit. Oh and notice how her stump of a tail is the stinger. We did not have to pay extra for that it just was there. I dressed up as an unemployed person which meant I wore sweats and my hair in a pony all day. Mike had some special things going on at work so he wore his dress uniform, turns out that is not a costume to him.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-31437796504918023802007-10-22T14:25:00.000-07:002007-11-10T14:34:12.336-08:00Disneyland day 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH4JLkwPsjBEKAcD8T-ds0QTLzySNAR8v2Y4_whJpqzFwKSdcLHfY7ipbjsjEo4h0iJjDb10b3TxGy6qzMbpsPkJZTq_a5WgciwSn0o8hTDfaU9KmJsvPC__6TczxouHkdg0ieXVSmBtZz/s1600-h/LENNOX.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH4JLkwPsjBEKAcD8T-ds0QTLzySNAR8v2Y4_whJpqzFwKSdcLHfY7ipbjsjEo4h0iJjDb10b3TxGy6qzMbpsPkJZTq_a5WgciwSn0o8hTDfaU9KmJsvPC__6TczxouHkdg0ieXVSmBtZz/s200/LENNOX.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131343609045514962" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcNORsgZoQ-BHqHB6uOux7_qTzwW1nied4KoBesJJTzwqhh1Jg435QfMOGxS5wRB8WdOhGmS0MPDGhPXeWVwaUfr648v7sQjOH6vQ2RQrUL-j6wfOIU62rkb6RQcPMKChzj4O9q9l00pjk/s1600-h/crulea+devil.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcNORsgZoQ-BHqHB6uOux7_qTzwW1nied4KoBesJJTzwqhh1Jg435QfMOGxS5wRB8WdOhGmS0MPDGhPXeWVwaUfr648v7sQjOH6vQ2RQrUL-j6wfOIU62rkb6RQcPMKChzj4O9q9l00pjk/s200/crulea+devil.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131342986275256962" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSw6iOCmcLlOsqoNobSFX2MKU-U9NJm9l-XHhEPMk4niurROk1YghnUwGu8GYV6cANBVrWNzcRTmGYOCxOmrgrtbStC_Ja-umT_yuCZw9FxGtd1gfDJ_WIe2vDpoF2DczruroXlzm2OD8b/s1600-h/ham.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSw6iOCmcLlOsqoNobSFX2MKU-U9NJm9l-XHhEPMk4niurROk1YghnUwGu8GYV6cANBVrWNzcRTmGYOCxOmrgrtbStC_Ja-umT_yuCZw9FxGtd1gfDJ_WIe2vDpoF2DczruroXlzm2OD8b/s200/ham.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131343012045060754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrXf6FsNK-u-V8zrjSKPK67MD8kB-ZlNpXSi6zeYLOv2l6bZ-ei5Emi0lPCavV3DroTdvSS9BCNhsuUBM4YtPQt-ADKe8Ju93fXvep6ki8ga1UhRovaYqG3MXQvEZ6YvIhdTBzUbJwyYLw/s1600-h/treats.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrXf6FsNK-u-V8zrjSKPK67MD8kB-ZlNpXSi6zeYLOv2l6bZ-ei5Emi0lPCavV3DroTdvSS9BCNhsuUBM4YtPQt-ADKe8Ju93fXvep6ki8ga1UhRovaYqG3MXQvEZ6YvIhdTBzUbJwyYLw/s200/treats.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131343020634995362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgObZ5CYWtnSbvgZH1CLzYefNfoQsNuDof-_qwbEkHSBt5m9auJc3adzGYTsWMxSejOWvCheGGM3FmnugQcNWG4EhxOz0jC8wrm_31kakYTLjPDQTEj6ow2FH8dCLSo6gjJI-uuX2LIxzP4/s1600-h/wild+drivers.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgObZ5CYWtnSbvgZH1CLzYefNfoQsNuDof-_qwbEkHSBt5m9auJc3adzGYTsWMxSejOWvCheGGM3FmnugQcNWG4EhxOz0jC8wrm_31kakYTLjPDQTEj6ow2FH8dCLSo6gjJI-uuX2LIxzP4/s200/wild+drivers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131343024929962674" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizVLep7gLmMqrAh7HE9u6FHHzjEUue4TNc0vFImL1erQlRjkmHtAAF-4w9T6w26d2WZgaDX5utX-5BkyzsGOz2igDGtIc5UyCe9B1oa8fP2aJdPmKctpJ_rdQTSZx0Qu_ugcVsAWSkU1X-/s1600-h/wild+animals.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizVLep7gLmMqrAh7HE9u6FHHzjEUue4TNc0vFImL1erQlRjkmHtAAF-4w9T6w26d2WZgaDX5utX-5BkyzsGOz2igDGtIc5UyCe9B1oa8fP2aJdPmKctpJ_rdQTSZx0Qu_ugcVsAWSkU1X-/s200/wild+animals.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131343029224929986" border="0" /></a><br /> Second day we hit the park again, starting at California Adventure. Got some GIANT corn dogs and did the park. Going on a Monday meant that there was no one there. Mike and I rode the rides saw the Muppet 3-d movie and even got on soar'n a second time in the few hours we were there. We joined the fam over at the Happiest place on earth and had some fun with the Streets that were there hiding from any news that something might have happened to their house that was evacuated from the fires. I cannot think of a better place to try and escape from that. Turns out their house made it so that is good.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-71836534150952735872007-10-21T14:15:00.000-07:002007-11-10T14:25:02.261-08:00Disneyland day 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNrTMXvDceRrGjHEVME52GXJOjevfTYN_Th42fXyvbuSLWUT7_v3bcuroUkyDX2Cuz_c-G-am6i0Y9JBqPjT2vAPCRcg-r2DThNAFV1TYSAJNVnnPpolKeBTpCl6EVaLTRVlrQ5XHndx7/s1600-h/minnie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNrTMXvDceRrGjHEVME52GXJOjevfTYN_Th42fXyvbuSLWUT7_v3bcuroUkyDX2Cuz_c-G-am6i0Y9JBqPjT2vAPCRcg-r2DThNAFV1TYSAJNVnnPpolKeBTpCl6EVaLTRVlrQ5XHndx7/s200/minnie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131340967640627810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUb8FU262WwXtgZdjKhG9Rm2fEsrclfzgqb52gcpPjnjuL0Kt5mHmkK-rYm4HpMvIHnTTmYSP3ZY7rDAcpIy5b5-RcXvYdT54-sqCrwenAwo0T_gzm5U8vJzKJ6iWNxPdMmA2pRYV8Pbqj/s1600-h/skull.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUb8FU262WwXtgZdjKhG9Rm2fEsrclfzgqb52gcpPjnjuL0Kt5mHmkK-rYm4HpMvIHnTTmYSP3ZY7rDAcpIy5b5-RcXvYdT54-sqCrwenAwo0T_gzm5U8vJzKJ6iWNxPdMmA2pRYV8Pbqj/s200/skull.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131340971935595122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPKS-X2w-3TidCBseZMRkaBS7N7ei9_Jv7R_oWzI82tcEe3BRE0scKvPVVPOT4VU-6UIDCROvayZO8QCWXWZKWRppbopSkd2UIvzo1ulzP-bOGiBXfCAoEswzlQadWNxtBsUXP-jc9mdJ9/s1600-h/california+sign.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPKS-X2w-3TidCBseZMRkaBS7N7ei9_Jv7R_oWzI82tcEe3BRE0scKvPVVPOT4VU-6UIDCROvayZO8QCWXWZKWRppbopSkd2UIvzo1ulzP-bOGiBXfCAoEswzlQadWNxtBsUXP-jc9mdJ9/s200/california+sign.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131340452244552242" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr-JpDv6M-_k1wH2koKA4VhhtUwfXTQMUIEhlGrTSbzj9wdaAk-fLGwXEvfiUDa1obloODm-r8gTj4IN_BDD5mwnd2I34ghDtSnwiTONJCUQ_lnY_uaFVXG0xGWeY6dB9UO_gJSSb9jgqr/s1600-h/us+on+the+matterhorn.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr-JpDv6M-_k1wH2koKA4VhhtUwfXTQMUIEhlGrTSbzj9wdaAk-fLGwXEvfiUDa1obloODm-r8gTj4IN_BDD5mwnd2I34ghDtSnwiTONJCUQ_lnY_uaFVXG0xGWeY6dB9UO_gJSSb9jgqr/s200/us+on+the+matterhorn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131340456539519554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihC7Kd5EIhZp3n650-0M52AsToObXpfab47inqxN-Bn_bB7D8eMHhzh7kgaRL7lyNm4CuZGNK4c7twddiIFgo4Tkb-KfX_39HcZFJ7_Ur77oSXBW-jsyTapVjnxTHRH5tNjG6cius_wgzO/s1600-h/guys.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihC7Kd5EIhZp3n650-0M52AsToObXpfab47inqxN-Bn_bB7D8eMHhzh7kgaRL7lyNm4CuZGNK4c7twddiIFgo4Tkb-KfX_39HcZFJ7_Ur77oSXBW-jsyTapVjnxTHRH5tNjG6cius_wgzO/s200/guys.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131340460834486866" border="0" /></a><br />We went to LA for my grandma's 80th birthday. Managing to swing the trip into Disneyland as well was not hard to wrangle the Lennox clan into doing. Sunday night mom, dad, Mike, Sara and I hit the park in the middle of the Santa Ana windstorm that was blowing dust and sadly lots of smoke from the wild fires that were burning down there. We got to see the Haunted Mansion Holiday that is a personal favorite and did our best to do the whole park in 5 hours. The place is done up for Halloween because why do anything small.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-40508013626031638932007-10-19T14:34:00.000-07:002007-11-10T14:39:03.897-08:00Chinese food<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdvhPOxzo7EW-SdZU6DcMrxbneHBQw0XeTG8WLsSuF0JRmAgz399Nu_n7O0BTmWUo8IWMZYki8Voe6byDCpif9o1Us0OJHi64a6QNUf1TVBBH62hGVxHe-Qj4Xzvgrt9Sa7dD4aa8oAsaM/s1600-h/hot+and+sour+sara.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdvhPOxzo7EW-SdZU6DcMrxbneHBQw0XeTG8WLsSuF0JRmAgz399Nu_n7O0BTmWUo8IWMZYki8Voe6byDCpif9o1Us0OJHi64a6QNUf1TVBBH62hGVxHe-Qj4Xzvgrt9Sa7dD4aa8oAsaM/s200/hot+and+sour+sara.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131344863175965410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNSbF1fGQMOt1p_pDW1R-5LvLPD8tN-gjjts2D2u134F17iVJ0ajhh1WDGlQNwO25epZpcBSC9EDIyTrLnCKu4eENJaEOnZY0GO3dZGHmmRmEgpekdFlk8uLb58VvXu7Wogw6iEs2cGdZ8/s1600-h/napkin+head.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNSbF1fGQMOt1p_pDW1R-5LvLPD8tN-gjjts2D2u134F17iVJ0ajhh1WDGlQNwO25epZpcBSC9EDIyTrLnCKu4eENJaEOnZY0GO3dZGHmmRmEgpekdFlk8uLb58VvXu7Wogw6iEs2cGdZ8/s200/napkin+head.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131344867470932722" border="0" /></a><br />I know every family has traditions and you can not really explain them to others. Ours involves this random Chinese Restaraunt in Whittier CA where we have gone for years. We get the big tables in the back with the lazy susans and everyone orders 1 dish for that will be shared with the family. Sara always orders the hot and sour soup because it is her favorite and a large bowl comes to the table and gets put in smaller bowls so everyone can have some. I had not clearly explained these traditions to Mike so we sat down at the table and he decided he wanted to have some Egg Flower soup. That did not go over well and from now on he will be known for that action. He quickly caught on and even supported wearing a napkin on his head as is tradition at the Chinese restaurant. Again do not ask it has gone on so long I do not even know anymore. Assume it all has something to do with my dad, if you know him, you will understand this.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-87067314256299780162007-10-13T14:03:00.000-07:002007-11-10T14:41:14.451-08:00Solar Decathalon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlYcwhQW5U4F6r2nbYFU4nTk9y8Ep_-Nc8vFXLCBejFCLfu28Cy3LEO4VkrK6qSuJg4eST8HQgJ3u15Zx2_W6FPsmFAiSM4upkflpnbj9L-RtaurvjtwbSrrm30BOhNOHUN-M3AyoFDEdB/s1600-h/like+the+mall+at+christmas.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlYcwhQW5U4F6r2nbYFU4nTk9y8Ep_-Nc8vFXLCBejFCLfu28Cy3LEO4VkrK6qSuJg4eST8HQgJ3u15Zx2_W6FPsmFAiSM4upkflpnbj9L-RtaurvjtwbSrrm30BOhNOHUN-M3AyoFDEdB/s200/like+the+mall+at+christmas.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131345361392171778" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0HtwgX4MBHq2AsJCkyRHjGotOpfYulFA5QLRAKoKwdh92m4DeebhEPAXhAUJhlmpD3mHKLmMuLAdOgu9r_AZE-5KHe_qKXJqk3LuE82cVv13yKYLMcdghMUwRCFmKVpEm3vvGiEC2Bqsi/s1600-h/solar+decathalon.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0HtwgX4MBHq2AsJCkyRHjGotOpfYulFA5QLRAKoKwdh92m4DeebhEPAXhAUJhlmpD3mHKLmMuLAdOgu9r_AZE-5KHe_qKXJqk3LuE82cVv13yKYLMcdghMUwRCFmKVpEm3vvGiEC2Bqsi/s200/solar+decathalon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131337557436594690" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiPCZ8fnphC_4FmF2mHev1xKpB7Ex_vcFSyeoMrOvyGFj_OgyMZvTKjA3u_CSBTYK-UcaBnhq4DzC2NIsU1Q9sRCEzYwF1Zt_hNV4ajW6Cawpz7U5G08zIiA6PxYM8PNN5rxjIPg0uXm5z/s1600-h/solar+house.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiPCZ8fnphC_4FmF2mHev1xKpB7Ex_vcFSyeoMrOvyGFj_OgyMZvTKjA3u_CSBTYK-UcaBnhq4DzC2NIsU1Q9sRCEzYwF1Zt_hNV4ajW6Cawpz7U5G08zIiA6PxYM8PNN5rxjIPg0uXm5z/s200/solar+house.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131337561731562002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkScFvZpgaWsQxNTJQro1mbDrED309jiXl9u7oGuhzxGHPvX5c3EINh-f9kAycDLg3wr3eJqHlus09sAP6FuocozL4HNLWmBZXS_M4PDwEwPzJ7s2EBjtimn_itFnx0NMOvwgUgz30rwf1/s1600-h/navy+b+day.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkScFvZpgaWsQxNTJQro1mbDrED309jiXl9u7oGuhzxGHPvX5c3EINh-f9kAycDLg3wr3eJqHlus09sAP6FuocozL4HNLWmBZXS_M4PDwEwPzJ7s2EBjtimn_itFnx0NMOvwgUgz30rwf1/s200/navy+b+day.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131337566026529314" border="0" /></a><br />Fun things happen in DC this is one of the more interesting. Solar Decathlon was getting set up on the mall for weeks and finally we got to go check it out. With everyone else, this mall was like the other mall at Christmas. We did not get to go into a house because the wait was an hour to go in one and I do not have that kind of patience. Very cool event and my favorite house, of the 20 that were there, from the aesthetics of exterior was the one from the University of Colorado at Boulder they had won the last two decathlons, but not this year.<br />http://www.solardecathlon.org/scores_standings.html#first<br />We did see the houses on the Navy's Birthday so I made the Mikes walk to the Navy Memorial and they let me take their picture. We then went to this cute place called <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Teaism</span> that serves, tea. Rachel Ray went there on her $40 a day excursion and now I have too. They have some kind of chocolate cookies that will haunt me if I ever eat them. They only come in a pack of 6 so I have not bought them because that would very quickly lead to me eating 6 cookies, well 5 if I share with Mike. If they sold a single cookie I would be in business, but something tells me this is for the best.<br /><br />For the record this is the first day I have worn Jeans or more global long pants since we moved here.

It is the peoples building but they are very super strict on the entering and checking your bags so know when you go visit you can not bring food or water. We lost the end of the very delicious brownies with york <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pattys</span> in them at the check point, it was sad. Very beautiful and they have a bazillion statues after sending out a thing that each state could send 2. I thought the best is the one from Hawaii of King <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kamehameha</span> that weighs something like 5000 lbs so they have to keep it in this corner. The state of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Florida</span> sent one of the guy that invented AC love that guy. Dome of the capitol on the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">outside</span> is different than the dome you see inside because of some crazy construction, I took a pix of the diagram for you. Later we hit the Library of Congress that is very beautiful inside and then got us some passes to go see Congress doing its thing. We sat in the room for a good 30 minutes got to do the pledge of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">allegiance</span> and I can tell you that when you watch the state of the union the balcony is only like 3-4 rows deep. I was surprised by this I always thought it appeared larger. I am now wondering what David <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Letterman's</span> balcony is like in person, might have to get up there to see.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-58857005755372104742007-10-08T13:55:00.000-07:002007-11-10T14:03:21.784-08:00Air and Space Museum<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugPzVLJvkfh43_Eyz_NTuL7H3RTa_rG0JKhRmjBA_D1D2FIcEQpEylcnBjM_iS2Fs3iNHVmETlInqpAlOQuZJQpzBYn7dNhyHCjS8Izdi6FL4p0QLaZJWaWGzR2SmlKFskoo6ON0d6Yo1/s1600-h/space+shuttle.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugPzVLJvkfh43_Eyz_NTuL7H3RTa_rG0JKhRmjBA_D1D2FIcEQpEylcnBjM_iS2Fs3iNHVmETlInqpAlOQuZJQpzBYn7dNhyHCjS8Izdi6FL4p0QLaZJWaWGzR2SmlKFskoo6ON0d6Yo1/s200/space+shuttle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131334989046151666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYq1Xw0VQuX5WZKZjwn1MCwQCKr2yt-siwnOHkrLty4Dhb8PDEVbaLCazkQvZXVTRWaJ9TZj448CU5IDogl_TJumcCBgSpuNJhFxALjYCyYwrYIqktUgvhqlk_xnVec6Q6iQuMGvojxdT6/s1600-h/friends.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYq1Xw0VQuX5WZKZjwn1MCwQCKr2yt-siwnOHkrLty4Dhb8PDEVbaLCazkQvZXVTRWaJ9TZj448CU5IDogl_TJumcCBgSpuNJhFxALjYCyYwrYIqktUgvhqlk_xnVec6Q6iQuMGvojxdT6/s200/friends.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131334868787067298" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimT9-dNfY2RaU_AYzQY0QZ3AH27h5_fQ2kI9pyGbLMeVMXtIQ25wZRhEbQ5cjQANfJS3jf96EWqFBtX-hVD4NuJgaA6WoJ-Xq6tEEB-mW_s0fhGXGC0vs79i_xI5JjPvs6-h_OHMOp7r0J/s1600-h/space+potty.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimT9-dNfY2RaU_AYzQY0QZ3AH27h5_fQ2kI9pyGbLMeVMXtIQ25wZRhEbQ5cjQANfJS3jf96EWqFBtX-hVD4NuJgaA6WoJ-Xq6tEEB-mW_s0fhGXGC0vs79i_xI5JjPvs6-h_OHMOp7r0J/s200/space+potty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131334873082034610" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn0Zr1axiJgNqQkcGhc42VrwTE_hJ7wdwXIVEXpiMkY_cqvYCEKHdhv4sJcxI9DOzOD5NX_cLGRbtzRhVaJGGuE5BMWhBM6dvG0CnBDQ542AXa3XAdZSMVKs5z3lj1tB1GtTA18SJ5t_49/s1600-h/pluto+in+it.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn0Zr1axiJgNqQkcGhc42VrwTE_hJ7wdwXIVEXpiMkY_cqvYCEKHdhv4sJcxI9DOzOD5NX_cLGRbtzRhVaJGGuE5BMWhBM6dvG0CnBDQ542AXa3XAdZSMVKs5z3lj1tB1GtTA18SJ5t_49/s200/pluto+in+it.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131334873082034626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeogR54clFM3DXlkqn-i1Ltrgk4CAxmgZ46iY-kvAroVT8nnm973P7lqwvZgrwUn9mhJR-dF4dixCHl3CPqnyhB1wp_o3LWBm-SOeSCgzyzS8fWKJC2MGes2o6exWTsKizjhkSBHcxcxuP/s1600-h/mickey+air+and+space.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeogR54clFM3DXlkqn-i1Ltrgk4CAxmgZ46iY-kvAroVT8nnm973P7lqwvZgrwUn9mhJR-dF4dixCHl3CPqnyhB1wp_o3LWBm-SOeSCgzyzS8fWKJC2MGes2o6exWTsKizjhkSBHcxcxuP/s200/mickey+air+and+space.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131334881671969234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9cfsj2lZtmmKRjbQA2VHqnZXk6arWB1uahX4jg6TCH2nwFu0h5aBQjedDBs4OfXuUUUKJFgaGa4-kdeXBcDJUODcTmnJ5A-pufNANOfrQGYKXgxfwlLITTHwIBr3RzKBAxHaa4FBzd72z/s1600-h/puffy+shirt.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9cfsj2lZtmmKRjbQA2VHqnZXk6arWB1uahX4jg6TCH2nwFu0h5aBQjedDBs4OfXuUUUKJFgaGa4-kdeXBcDJUODcTmnJ5A-pufNANOfrQGYKXgxfwlLITTHwIBr3RzKBAxHaa4FBzd72z/s200/puffy+shirt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131334881671969250" border="0" /></a><br />Right now the American History museum is under a major renovation due to open late spring 08, till then they have a small display at the Air and Space museum. This museum is the most interest to me because it contains things like THE PUFFY SHIRT, and some friends that were in Star Wars. 250 objects is not a lot, stay tuned for the update after American History re-opens.<br />A&S is full of artifacts and exhibits it takes a while to get through, but you get to touch a moon rock that has been touched by everyone else so what are you touching them or the rock? I of course spent time reading about how you go to the bathroom in space and have a picture for you of the urinal like <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">device</span>.

Christine, Sara and Mike Mulle came out to RFK stadium parking lot with us to see how it worked. Bands on the bill we were interested in Violent Femmes and Gin Blossoms (I had that CD back in the day so I was interested). This thing was 5 stages, 50 something bands and a huge midway of scary carnival rides and the karneys that run them. VF's played early like 2pm so we were out there in the heat enjoying them. GB were not on till 10pm so we entertained ourselves by drinking some beer, listening to some really not good polka music with a southern twist, and riding some midway rides. Note to readers beer drinking and then riding the scrambler not always a good idea. I did not lose it but you know it was not a good feeling for a few minutes. GB were not very good so we left to go home and make some brownies with York Peppermint Pattys cooked in them, yum, good idea by Christine. Another highlight was we stopped at the party store and bought a thing of 25 glow bracelets and were sporting those when the lights went down. Very fun and you can find your people. Lets hope we remember this for our next night event.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-39832265611999814142007-09-23T12:36:00.000-07:002007-11-10T12:44:55.564-08:00Museum of Natural History 9/23<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSuhhNrF-vMZAI2fu3d7nUmfyx3vQ4PAtG1rtEW19DYwlpW0-BlS3IiLuyFUJGQajjmLChZYdkng0gS2ReooMZob9hjBsInzZ3pd-GcIllxqofKFSV9jA8SV26dSo6oaVzfvHgcpMKepU/s1600-h/top+of+the+wa+monument.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSuhhNrF-vMZAI2fu3d7nUmfyx3vQ4PAtG1rtEW19DYwlpW0-BlS3IiLuyFUJGQajjmLChZYdkng0gS2ReooMZob9hjBsInzZ3pd-GcIllxqofKFSV9jA8SV26dSo6oaVzfvHgcpMKepU/s200/top+of+the+wa+monument.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131315313800968402" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCFWqG05ljus1dJu-gTgq9_deEsn-WZrsGtp3yzxcAcj_h7_SJKi7AK3sicBDPqvSO0mVFezpJRHxA7k47tk7WHyh5Fb_hGkS3VI1XjSz-ZuzPbeCN6Z0kQWpC7vbykmPbB20v9G04oXze/s1600-h/hope+diamond.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCFWqG05ljus1dJu-gTgq9_deEsn-WZrsGtp3yzxcAcj_h7_SJKi7AK3sicBDPqvSO0mVFezpJRHxA7k47tk7WHyh5Fb_hGkS3VI1XjSz-ZuzPbeCN6Z0kQWpC7vbykmPbB20v9G04oXze/s200/hope+diamond.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131315318095935714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdyYrShKMGWOb9_Xjo9GGOXYS9M7_ROJ16nb6U3lP5VlAKI4VFbHUZvMDal2CxnWSHFtg7UoAz7Kpgg2PB-K4R8CBinkZzDtVDDNLQ-lv5HsxWDYNw8fBStjMN5vPf1aq-npkeWAI8JXNu/s1600-h/poop.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdyYrShKMGWOb9_Xjo9GGOXYS9M7_ROJ16nb6U3lP5VlAKI4VFbHUZvMDal2CxnWSHFtg7UoAz7Kpgg2PB-K4R8CBinkZzDtVDDNLQ-lv5HsxWDYNw8fBStjMN5vPf1aq-npkeWAI8JXNu/s200/poop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131315318095935730" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM3KiWAA0SsxChAEqNwqyNFNsRheKcK4V-WMH-2HefXOmRnI55J0i8oIj6pFN-rvhCVu_a3I4eAzHqpVVvMNHKphjWv76kw0ZYRN9x-ADeBLSWJIYkvi0vUwBwPFnol8X26nt5HKekC9Cf/s1600-h/fossil+poop.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM3KiWAA0SsxChAEqNwqyNFNsRheKcK4V-WMH-2HefXOmRnI55J0i8oIj6pFN-rvhCVu_a3I4eAzHqpVVvMNHKphjWv76kw0ZYRN9x-ADeBLSWJIYkvi0vUwBwPFnol8X26nt5HKekC9Cf/s200/fossil+poop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131315318095935746" border="0" /></a><br />This stuff is not my bag but I have to see everything right...

Now we have redskins visors and a sweat towel that was heavily used during the game as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">souvenirs</span> of our trip to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">FedEx</span> Field. It was my first NFL game and I have to say a lot like College except for the whole 90,000 fan thing, that was a crazy amount of people all in one place. End of the day, Redskins won, Mike and I got suntanned, we were assed out from the heat and sun and were very sad to find the Mexican restaurant, by our house and the metro stop, closed so we could get margaritas on the way home.

We left the house (smartly) without looking for the name or location and our walk through Chinatown did not reveal it. Mike called 411 to get the number and called to see where they were located. As the conversation went on Mike told the caller he was near their location and where were they in Chinatown. Apparently we had called the Mongolian Embassy woops. If you want to call them, 202-333-7117 and I looked up the address, <span style="">2833 M St NW<br />Washington, DC 20007 if you want to visit.<br />Turns out they have a sign that if you are on the left corner of the street reads Chinese Food, but if you walk to the right corner you can see the sign. We saw the sign after making the call and then got to enjoy a laugh and some mighty fine Mongolian BBQ.<br /><br />**later info on the mongolian bbq, the lady at my dentist office told me the Chinese food upstairs is some of the best in town. She also gave me a few other places that serve dim sum and we are gonna get on checking them out.<br /><br /></span>jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-29250238314241857362007-08-30T18:34:00.000-07:002007-08-30T18:53:17.173-07:00Baltimore and Seattle weekend 8/25<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjLAQhmqMReGyDTKxseHadlA92s6WI_90K0PwGySpnEJ9w76q_wNZ2HH6_Rdg64uhb1J_MJvxV3Yi49V4J_8X5NNMucFMU8N1v4UuZNUtF74iHFQTiD7BC61LbfBVM9fHYb16PHw9R4Dam/s1600-h/mike+and+olivia.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

We went to Baltimore to see the Minnesota Twins blast the Oriels out of the very nice and beautiful ball park they have. We did not see Duff from the Ace of Cakes while there, but now that we know how close it is, you know we are going back. Friday we rolled out to Seattle for Mikes college friend Henry's wedding. It was very beautiful and when the bride sang to the groom, everyone (including the 2 of us), was brought to tears. Reception was fun with lots of unique performances from a ballet to an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">African</span> drum group to Henry singing Lets Stay Together. After the reception we were close enough to run to the Pink Door for the end of the burlesque show and to have a few rounds of Seattle Sloe Gin Fizzes in the cool Seattle world's fair glasses. Sunday we got to see some friends at Golden Gardens for a BBQ and Bonfire. Monday I flew home and Mike got to go to San Diego for work and In & Out burger indulgences. Mikes flight was "delayed" coming home letting him spend a night sleeping in the airport http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070829-1223-bn29plane.html . Now we are getting out and enjoying our city as it is less hot and humid and Bella and I have been to all sort of monuments by foot, I will take the camera one of these times and show you how <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">magnificent</span> it is.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-45020991077055056152007-08-20T05:21:00.000-07:002007-08-20T18:17:55.642-07:00DC weekend 8/19<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqiTavS8yM8YcsIxrmmRm7O3Gr9bTqProA41hk-mvDIz0L2-HC7yNAPs1z0TLwl2LU5NFX_rdOVK1hVFvW6Pk3hLDQwnby8pAepQtXu9MCqmleBXozJMSsQmKn4WuCjlf1H75M2KXVKJX/s1600-h/screen+on+the+green.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqiTavS8yM8YcsIxrmmRm7O3Gr9bTqProA41hk-mvDIz0L2-HC7yNAPs1z0TLwl2LU5NFX_rdOVK1hVFvW6Pk3hLDQwnby8pAepQtXu9MCqmleBXozJMSsQmKn4WuCjlf1H75M2KXVKJX/s320/screen+on+the+green.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100760817805481634" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2GUHLqXYNvCA7Xu-0GxZ_ZLGcv0m-lGkUn8YL00EcbtgE2pFBoW4tnmnYF6KbqCFvAkmZY8nZN4dmvoOSc7HS4JgADQ58JI2oEiJAYadrvEyJic3V33yrm_TQjLWGK4cHQF2FybxV_PFk/s1600-h/me+and+teddy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2GUHLqXYNvCA7Xu-0GxZ_ZLGcv0m-lGkUn8YL00EcbtgE2pFBoW4tnmnYF6KbqCFvAkmZY8nZN4dmvoOSc7HS4JgADQ58JI2oEiJAYadrvEyJic3V33yrm_TQjLWGK4cHQF2FybxV_PFk/s320/me+and+teddy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100760822100448946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLBzkTchD3RRujYrgGWzr02pQg_tfybfwkdlHt53W3bwO7VV4HbgiG8OHNLwz8l1lmvnBuvmGBem-S_ejTIfVI9G0E97XSAFZch1EGugkCDM-FtwqYbiluI-4xOUJewBgAILIL1NoF5qj/s1600-h/mike+and+tom.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLBzkTchD3RRujYrgGWzr02pQg_tfybfwkdlHt53W3bwO7VV4HbgiG8OHNLwz8l1lmvnBuvmGBem-S_ejTIfVI9G0E97XSAFZch1EGugkCDM-FtwqYbiluI-4xOUJewBgAILIL1NoF5qj/s320/mike+and+tom.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100760826395416258" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxM1p_9He8M9FBbWabsRSx6PJe5H2rh4x9r7mZIkseTZVXC80886agcLvSoJebbhSGhLiSM0uaK2tb9M4Zc6rSOekFbi_kPIn_6jeY9WEqfvHESnW5kDFt8UXx8VE2HFD_SbWL1tKZuj3v/s1600-h/season+ticket+holders.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxM1p_9He8M9FBbWabsRSx6PJe5H2rh4x9r7mZIkseTZVXC80886agcLvSoJebbhSGhLiSM0uaK2tb9M4Zc6rSOekFbi_kPIn_6jeY9WEqfvHESnW5kDFt8UXx8VE2HFD_SbWL1tKZuj3v/s320/season+ticket+holders.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100760830690383570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmYRO0o96unI04vmCIKXa9C3dbTPEHovnrTs0IXxHk9Id_OgTt5uyMzE_fg14wQ13Ovl3ylIPyzcmgrGCcZQtuQlsxstnAleICbrBD8eaQHFmiGk61HQfyvKSEEGXGszNZA5lb9_I1XvEg/s1600-h/guac.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmYRO0o96unI04vmCIKXa9C3dbTPEHovnrTs0IXxHk9Id_OgTt5uyMzE_fg14wQ13Ovl3ylIPyzcmgrGCcZQtuQlsxstnAleICbrBD8eaQHFmiGk61HQfyvKSEEGXGszNZA5lb9_I1XvEg/s320/guac.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100760834985350882" border="0" /></a><br />Week started out with Screen on the Green outdoor movie showing Casablanca on the Mall, I stayed awake for almost the whole thing. Friday we checked out the Nationals game they were playing the Mets Mike Mulle is a fan so he dressed for the event. It was a quick metro ride to JFK stadium, which seems OK as far as stadiums go, but when the new stadium opens next year 5 blocks from our place and all spanking new, that will be really nice. So we are going to invest in season tickets for the 08 season, the Presidential sightings at the game definitely made that a must do. Instead of doing Hydro races on the jumbo-tron like at Safeco they actually have the 4 presidents on the track running a race, brilliant. OH and the guy singing the national anthem was named D.C. Washington, chew on that. Saturday we hit a Mexican restaurant near Verizon center called Rosa's, the big draw was tableside prepared quac in a cool lava bowl that looks like a bull. Good drinks, good guac (different than Mikes, but he appreciated the presentation and the differences and helped to finish off the bowl) and good service. So far in DC we have had Mexican food 3 times at 3 different locations, and each time it has been good, whew. We saw The Invasion and thought it was good, and filmed in DC so that was fun. We also hit Superbad which was not really so bad. Stay tuned for next weekend when we take a trip to a funny town called Seattle.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763797225280365173.post-87425260271811006312007-08-13T05:16:00.002-07:002007-08-13T05:33:39.262-07:00DC weekend 8/11<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF67x8F7Jm6JjlPA2c2f17iCWQfFgm7BN0-0jMtq_185AV9YoUwEJxytz7B8F4xA5RBBOKdI8ITgFA0TmvKHe9Pc9BCxOiDC0ixG3q6UltO0ecydHtgqGhtw62PAf8Oo1k-QshMJuy8TYy/s1600-h/crab+molestor.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF67x8F7Jm6JjlPA2c2f17iCWQfFgm7BN0-0jMtq_185AV9YoUwEJxytz7B8F4xA5RBBOKdI8ITgFA0TmvKHe9Pc9BCxOiDC0ixG3q6UltO0ecydHtgqGhtw62PAf8Oo1k-QshMJuy8TYy/s320/crab+molestor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098158216709976706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtCIVZkqbToHN0s63AaGB6ziYUy1V8gZsakD4UpNQ3JD8g15RQhlh1rkXuDTUrh0vGmuGuIUI0e90YZQ5Zt6ettJCR4yjOD64krfFhFm7n657frTeRojsAuKTVHiako4CH2J212v3Eepl/s1600-h/pirate+grog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtCIVZkqbToHN0s63AaGB6ziYUy1V8gZsakD4UpNQ3JD8g15RQhlh1rkXuDTUrh0vGmuGuIUI0e90YZQ5Zt6ettJCR4yjOD64krfFhFm7n657frTeRojsAuKTVHiako4CH2J212v3Eepl/s320/pirate+grog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098158216709976722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidRAa12tAP-uRii8EiZzv4WQHbfuvrCbi036Fud6tuMHdLiTQgWU-HxG9IqkiV6XxQFJ3OjijwJgXIQyvVFblUBulF5uSiawjY0cRV85yRk4vbzwwNHleflNj41vYfzgipt4pItMK7ZvZm/s1600-h/blue+crab+before.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidRAa12tAP-uRii8EiZzv4WQHbfuvrCbi036Fud6tuMHdLiTQgWU-HxG9IqkiV6XxQFJ3OjijwJgXIQyvVFblUBulF5uSiawjY0cRV85yRk4vbzwwNHleflNj41vYfzgipt4pItMK7ZvZm/s320/blue+crab+before.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098158221004944034" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJMCDNlKbGKiMf90E6UGLYr7AWCE3KsIgkGLlJfEUtPrkJuGRhFISVXed0XuGslnkbGV1P5K0pzGKobMLf9vqc2pIwSvNB-F8uleyZZjW8Z7fP1Pe9IeWZwugbsVM_3e7ce1yf1lXKP75Y/s1600-h/blue+crab+after.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJMCDNlKbGKiMf90E6UGLYr7AWCE3KsIgkGLlJfEUtPrkJuGRhFISVXed0XuGslnkbGV1P5K0pzGKobMLf9vqc2pIwSvNB-F8uleyZZjW8Z7fP1Pe9IeWZwugbsVM_3e7ce1yf1lXKP75Y/s320/blue+crab+after.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098158229594878642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5MZtQDZhBhmZZYFVbEzxxDn3h5zylr4S1UDHkjLYf-82PUREVJO2zVR0AvZvDpJj-BoEtSfp5u8KHx2vtepCxvdOVl0TQ57z3JPo8NnoUItMK-UMw80uWJaU9bLxeCfg5neU_fwbH4mk/s1600-h/god.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5MZtQDZhBhmZZYFVbEzxxDn3h5zylr4S1UDHkjLYf-82PUREVJO2zVR0AvZvDpJj-BoEtSfp5u8KHx2vtepCxvdOVl0TQ57z3JPo8NnoUItMK-UMw80uWJaU9bLxeCfg5neU_fwbH4mk/s320/god.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098158233889845954" border="0" /></a><br />Cooled off a lot this weekend so we went to the town of Dumfries VA to enjoy some Blue Crab, an east coast specialty. We sat on a dock listened to live music, enjoyed the sun, and tore into the poor crabs. Crab was good and very messy but worth the work. And we learned that some people in VA have customized license plates that are worth a photo stop.jennie from new jersey ave sehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07883429249965048811noreply@blogger.com0
