A 2fer

It seems I've forgotten a couple posts,
so Imma Be (as the Black Eyed Peas would say),
squashing them together.


Tri-City Dust Devils
baseball

So, baseball is boring. But good food and good company never get old. Just kidding they both get old, but not me!  I'll be 25 from this year on.










OMSI/ 2 Year Anniversary

I would just like to say that the drivers in all of Oregon are terrible, TERRIBLE! As are the one way streets. But we survived and I can be proud to say other than that we had a fabulous time in Portland. We had the best burger ever ( and I'm someone who thinks a burger is a burger is a burger) at Buffalo Wild Wings, and I'm not kidding, even as I type this I just realized my shopping spree at H&M was TAX FREE, weeeeeeeeee!

Day two was a trip to OMSI (The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). Kevin went in his first Submarine and I went to outer space... I wish I went to outer space, instead I stood behind a plywood board and stuck my head through a hole.

Periscoping out the ladies... Hey!


Dive , Dive, Dive (that posture is horrendous)



Torpedos







Happy Anniversary to US!

To Quote Styx

Who can say it better than a Rock Power Band? Not me, so I'm going to let them narrate this particular adventure.



I'M SAILING AWAY

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
'Cause I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me



On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on


I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory



Some happy, some sad, I think of childhood friends
And the dreams we had,

we lived happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on


A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said



They said, "Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me baby
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me"



I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies

Singing, "Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me"

Don't Blow It

Do you want to see something I stink at? If so, this is for you. However, in the interest of preserving my self-esteem lets just say I sure do look good doing it!

It's blow darts, in case you were wondering what the heck was going on in those pictures below. Did you know that "Assault with a (not so) Deadly (but still very painful) Weapon" could get you a $20,000 fine or 10 years in Washington State? Ok, I kind of fudged that a little, but it's true for the real thing! For those balloons, man, it was the real thing...R.I.P.

Sister and me (or I)




Does that guy have the posture down or what!?!


You would assume looking at this photo that the campfire smoke was blowing away from the group of 3 sitting in the chairs... wrong!
