Retro Post - Ride the Tide

I first met Jodie's beau Harry when they came down to join us for a day at the San Diego County Fair, themed a watery Ride the Tide to Fun. Besides Jodie, Harry & Sammy there was Mom & Dad Lee, Amy, Mom & Dad, Sandy, Kirt, Karen, Trevor, & Sarah. A whole posse there to have a grand time eating food, riding rides, eating food, petting ameenals, eat food, looking at exhibits, eating food, etc.

Hello and Happy New Year!

New Year, New Blog! I'll start it off with an End of 2005 summary: I had a fine holiday season which began with our annual trip to Disneyland. Which was a great time, of course! Christmas Day was fun, Santa was quite good to me, and Sandy & I hosted brunch for our parents (and Amy). New Year's Eve was nice, spent the day with the Lees and Midnight was brought in quietly with Sandy and Ted.

More time in Texas

Today the gang spent more time shopping and looking around the DFW area. Being a Grapevine City Planner, Cindy was very keen to show us the new Gaylord Texan resort. I must say it is quite impressive!We finished the day with a showing of Shrek II which I really enjoyed and thought was better than the first.

Off to Texas for Shawn's Graduation

Amy, Mr. & Mrs Lee, Sandy and I arrived yesterday at Dallas Fortworth Airport. We're here visiting Cindy, Richard, and Shawn in the small suburb of Grapevine, TX (just north of DFW) for Shawn's graduation from Colleyville Heritage High School. We spent the day shopping and looking around downtown Grapevine and tonight we start the celebrations with a BBQ Dinner Party.

JPL with Mr. Lee

Mr. Lee and I drove up to Pasadena earlier today for the JPL Open House. They had various exhibits, the highlight of which was the Mars Tour that included life-size models of the MERs: Spirit and Opportunity.

On the way down we stopped off at Tom's Farm which is kind of like a baby Knott's Berry Farm. Neat little place. We ate at Señor Tom's and it was pretty good food!
