Today was our last day at Disneyland. After spending three full days there I can honestly say that I’ve had my fill of Disneyland for this decade. We wanted to get to the park early so that we could get on the Finding Nemo ride without too much of a wait. Well, it turns out… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 6
California Vacation – Day 5
Today we started out at Calfornia Adventure. The last time we came most of the rides were closed because it was raining. This time the weather was perfect and we ended up having a really great time. We started off in the “bug” section which has lots of little rides that diana would like such… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 5
California Vacation – Day 4
Today we did our first day at Disneyland. For me the fun of Disneyland starts with watching the excitement of the kids as we pull into the parking garage. They get increasingly excited as we board the tram and go in the front entrance. No matter how many times you’ve been to Disneyland, it’s always… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 4
California Vacation – Day 3
We considered going to Disneyland today but it was going to be hot so we decided to make today our day for going to the Getty Museum and the beach. The Getty Center (I think it’s officially known as “The Getty”) was about an hour away. We figured it would be a fairly small art… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 3
California Vacation – Day2
The least crowded days at Disneyland are supposed to be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday so we figured we would spend the first full day of our vacation just relaxing. The plan for this morning was to sleep in, hang out, and go swimming. The reality was fairly close to the plan with the exception that… Continue reading California Vacation – Day2

Today we set off on a weeklong vacation in California. Our first suprise was finding an inch of snow on the ground as we pulled out of the driveway. Our second surprise was driving down the street behind our house and noticing that someone had left the kids’ bathroom light on. After turning around to… Continue reading California Vacation – day 1
Nancy’s Birthday
Tonight we celebrated Nancy’s birthday by going on a date to the Market Street Grill and leaving the kids at home. We’re glad that a Market Street Grill opened up in South Jordan. In fact, we rarely go to a downtown restaurant these days (sushi being a notable exception – we haven’t found a good… Continue reading Nancy’s Birthday
The corn maze
My kids still love to go and play with their friends from the old neighborhood. Today my friend Lynette called up and wanted to know if my kids wanted go to the corn maze with her kids. I thought the kids would love it, not for just the maze, but because they could play with… Continue reading The corn maze
Stupid Bumper Sticker
Driving home from work tonight I spied a bumper sticker that said, “If animals could talk we would all be vegetarians” Could that bumper sticker be any stupider? If you don’t think it’s a stupid sentiment, consider the following: If plants could talk we would all be… Well, we would probably all be dead. A… Continue reading Stupid Bumper Sticker
On Comments and Commentors
Check out the new comment I got in the post about our couch: New Furniture. My thoughts on this were: 1. I like the couch 2. It’s good to get unbiased feedback even if the opinion expressed is different than my own. 3. The commentor doesn’t really know what I paid but I suppose one… Continue reading On Comments and Commentors
