Disneyland #19

Penny is almost to the 20 visit mark! I'd say she is one very lucky little girl. We headed to Disneyland at a leisurely pace and arrived around 11am.
Today, we entered the park by horse drawn carriage. We caught it at the beginning of Main Street and it took us to Sleeping Beauty's Castle.
After disembarking the carriage we decided to find ourselves some princesses. We found 3! Princess Ariel, Snow White, and Princess Tiana, one of Penny's favorites.
After meeting the princesses we went and found ourselves some ice cream and sat and ate our treat at Mickey's Magical Map, an awesome stage show that is just new at Disneyland.
The show was excellent, very entertaining with cool hard to find characters like Sorcerer Mickey, Mulan, Pocahantas, and King Louie. When the show ended a bunch of confetti fired out from the rafters and Penny and I have funny playing around with it.
Next we went to "Its A Small World" and Penny and I couldn't stand the singing anymore.
Just kidding. Penny loves that ride. Isn't her Elvis impression really good? Afterward we rode the storybook ride which Penny wasn't too happy about. She was clearly hungry so we headed over to Tomorrowland Terrace. Penny was happy once again when she got her chocolate milk.
After lunch we all learned how to become Jedi's at Jedi Training. Penny really wanted to participate but you have to be 4 years old. Soon Penny. Soon. She loved the sword's so much we had to cave and get her one at the gift shop. While we were there we checked out other Jedi merchandise.
We tried to hit up the Tiki Room but someone wanted ice cream so we left the Tiki Room and headed to Gibson Girl and we all got ice cream. Penny even stole the rest of my Mint Chocolate Chip Cone. See the picture, two cones!
Always a good time!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
