WTF*

Last month Ruben's sister flew to Oklahoma from Japan to visit, so we took a mini vacation to go see her and her family. The weather was warm and sunny all month until we get there. Two of the three days we were there were cold and rainy. I wasn't too surprised, after all, it is Oklahoma. The same Oklahoma that is famous for weather that has your heater and air conditioner on in the same day, but I was still a little disappointed that we didn't get a break from the cold.

This Saturday Ruben, The Toddler and I are leaving for Arkansas to spend a week with my family. The weather in Arkansas has been gorgeous since February, so we're excited to enjoy the week outside swimming and just relaxing...were excited. Yesterday we took a look at the weather and found out it's not only going to be cold, but there are also going to be severe storms the whole way there and throughout the week. *WellThat'sFantastic. What was planned as a 14 hour Saturday drive is now looking like a weekend long venture through rain, hail, wind and possibly some naders. Good thing we're getting new tires! I know it's probably a coincidence and I'm sure the fact that it's Spring adds to the chances, but I'm starting to feel like I have some badweathervacation mojo or something.

We're still super excited to see my family, so the trip will be worth it, but if you don't see me or Ruben on the blog anymore it's probably because we got blown off a mountain somewhere.


Happy Spring!

An Extended Period Of Recreation

What is "A Vacation"?

Two more days and I am off for an entire week and I can't wait. I have a few fun things planned like...

Visiting The Mile High Market Place. It's Colorado's largest outdoor shopping an entertainment place. You can find anything there if you're willing to look and it's only three dollars to get in. I could spend a whole day just looking at all the different things for sale. Last time I went, I bought a peace lily for 5 bucks! Can't beat that with a stick.

We're also going to try to catch a double feature at the drive-in by our house. I've never been to a drive in theater before...I didn't know they still existed. Should be fun!

The Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge is supposed to be cool so we might head over there. Heck, we might even take a fishing trip before the week is finished.

All of these things are fun but, I'm looking forward to spending time with my family the most. If you know of any other hot spots we should checkout, let me know!


Adios,
Shala
