One of my favorite places

This weekend, Mike and I met his mom, stepdad, aunt and uncle in Solvang. And I just love it! It's the perfect distance to be far enough away to feel like a vacation but not so far away that getting home feels stressful! I love looking in the little shops and eating the fun food.

True Love

I love him!

My favorite places - San Francisco

San Francisco is one of my favorite places in all the world! I love the big city/coastal town vibe. One of my favorite places is Pier 39. I love going in the little shops and seeing the Sea Lions which I heard are no longer there. I also like seeing the Golden Gate bridge. In high school, I went my junior and senior year with band. Once Mike and I started dating we went often seeing as his family. The last time we went, we saw Mike's little sister and her boyfriend. We went to Golden Gate park, rented one of those bikes that all of us could ride and had fun! Although the bike wasn't as fun as we thought it might be, we had fun in the Park. Here are some pictures from our trip!

New Years Goal #6

Well it's February first and that means that my goal to be a vegetarian for the month of January is over. I think I did pretty good. Yes, I did cheat a bit but overall, I think I did ok. Now I will not say I MET the goal because I did cheat but I half met it or something.

I do want to thank my friend Kris. Her enthusaisim for my goal was catching. She let me borrow some of her cookbooks, sent me websites, called to encourage me and made me food! I couldn't ask for a better cheerleader! Thanks Kris!

Can't Wait for Captain EO!

Those of you who went to Disneyland in the 80's probably remember Captain EO. It was a 3D movie kinda Star Wars ish staring Michael Jackson and Anjelica Huston. Me being of course the big Michael Jackson fan watched it almost every time I went to Disneyland! It closed in 1997 to make way for Honey I Shrunk the Audience which is a dumb replacement IMO. Disney has announced that they are bringing Captain EO back!!! It's for a limited time but I will take what I can get. They are being really vague on the release date, all we know is that it is coming back Feb. 2010 and that HISTA closed yesterday to make the changes for the show. I can't wait and I am glad they decided to bring it back!
