Eclectic Escapades

Today I went on a bike ride with mom and Yasue. I've been trying to bike a lot for exercise this summer. This is only my 3rd trip, but that counts!? Right? My frst trip was 29 miles and these last two trips were only about 6 each.

We stopped for lunch at a nice little tea shop for scones, cookies and, of course, TEA! I love that they had their sugar "cubes" (I use that term lightly) decked out for the fourth :)

We're celebrating the Fourth the way any Boy Scout Eagle and offspring should... camping :) We joined my parents (with their very elaborate campsite set up - our tent is the one WAY in the back!) to explore the north bay on this long weekend. Oliver decided to start his mini-vacation with a baseball cap and some Levin "Liberty and Tyranny". Whatever chills you out, dear! I personally plan to bike ride and commune with my iPod! And go to the beach a lot ... one of the plusses of moving to the west coast!

***Sending lots of love and prayers to our troops, thank you for my freedom and stay safe! (that means you too Trouble!)***

Having a great day hanging out with Joseph and Brittany? We did an Egyptian museum ( that I didn't even know existed), lunch at the mall and now Guitar Center!

BTW, I have no idea why this picture looks like this... other the very likely chance that I've killed yet ANOTHER piece of technology.

It really was a perfect thing, considering the other necklace he bought me for our anniversary had fallen and chipped in the airport. I have no idea when he got this, even though I know where - simply because I was drooling over it before dinner last night. It is made from ash off of Mt St Helen and glistens like an emerald!

He is amazing .... I cried right there on the airplane for all to see!

We went to the "Experience Music Project" and really didn't like it .... HOWEVER! There was the Sci-Fi Museum/Hall of Fame AND the Jim Henson special exhibit attached. LOVED LOVED LOVED it! Who wouldn't love seeing an original fraggle ( although Snuffy would have made me even happier) AND Jean-Luc's Enterprise?! :) I almost took some "illegal" pictures... but just couldn't. The guilt would have killed me!
