=D Redaer Desuma Eht Rof

 Hello everyone! Due to someone's..."request" I have decided to visit the lovely blog and post a thing or two. What I really want to talk about- really- is this time of year. Allergy season, Spring flowers, the weather warming up, what else you say? STAR tests? Other tests of some sort because it's near the end of the year? The constant frustration to just want to have everything be over and be done with so summer can begin? Truthfully, I think this is a bitter-sweet time of the year. After you trudge your way through the bitterness of tests/stress/etc., you are rewarded with the sweet last days of school and the whole summer to do whatever you want. What are your feelings about this time of year? Do you like it? Hate it? Just.. don't have an opinion on it? I wonder...
This brings us ( or rather... me) to my next topic of .. discussion? Summer. So, do you guys have any plans for the summer? Are you looking forward to it? Or.. (somehow) not looking forward to it? This summer I'm planning on... trying something new? We should all set a goal to try something new! Aha. Yes, that escalated quickly. (kind of. i don't know.. but I've always wanted to say that =DD) Well, I have to go back to do my uncompleted homework. Good luck everyone- through this bitter period, I give you my BLOBB. To help you whenever you just need to *sigh* and just.. take a moment to calm yourself. You can do this. =)

BLOBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB~!!!!! =DDD

Mexico City- Part 1

After flying for four hours, we finally arrive at our hotel (at 6 am) which has a pretty stained glass ceiling.

The rooms in the hotel.

The view of the lobby from the first floor.

We eat breakfast at Cafe de Tacuba.

The outside of a famous cathedral.

Purple velvet pillars because of Easter.

The saints.

The giant organ inside.

We are eating late lunch at Azul Historical.  Mezcal (alcohol) in a gourd shell with some oranges covered with chili, salt, and ground beetles :P.

A stuffed pepper with pomegranate cream sauce.  Steak with veggies.  Black mole chicken.

A chocolate and tres leche cake for dessert.  This is all for part 1.  More photos coming soon.  :)

DC Trip Part 3

Hi everyone!  This is my final post for DC.  I hope you like the pictures.

The gun below. (We visited Ford's theatre where Lincoln got shot)

Arlington Cemetery.  I don't really recommend going here.  It feels really depressing and you're only allowed to whisper :(  These wreaths are placed every year during the holidays. 

More graves  :(

This is a soldier that walks back and forth in front of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  Wow can you imagine doing this for a whole half an hour (one hour in spring and fall)?!

We visited the Smithsonian Museum of American History.  This was Michelle Obama's dress.  So pretty ^.^

A gigantic dollhouse.

My final day in DC.  This is where I was standing during the inauguration.  So many people!  After this, it was goodbye DC. 

Spring Skiing

DonutBoy at the top of Mount Heavenly on a gorgeous sunny day. Lake Tahoe in the background.

Same pose by Spongy, but at the bottom of the run. In front of base lodge.

We ran into MS Dixie II resting at Zephyr Cove on a leisurely afternoon drive along Lake Tahoe.

What do you do after a day of hard skiing? What else but reward yourself with frog legs :-)

DC Trip Part 2

Hey everybody!  So this is part two of the DC post.  Anyway, this is a picture of George Washington's home in Mount Vernon.

The servant quarters of George Washington's home.  Unfortunately, cameras were not allowed past this point ):

Completely random, but this is the ceiling of the Lincoln Memorial.

Abraham Lincoln inside of Lincoln memorial.

A night view of Washington monument.  A bit bleary but kind of pretty right?

A wall in the memorial of the Vietnam war.

A wall with the names of people who died during the war.  D:  That's all for now but there will be more pics soon!

DC Trip Part 1

Hey everybody!  I can't believe that March is already here!  Anyways, I wanted to post pics from my DC trip in January.  I know that it's two months late.... oh well :P.  Our first stop was the newseum and this news helicopter was hanging in the hallway.

An antenna from the world trade center from 9/11.

A printing press from the colonial times.

The capitol building.  The statue at the top is called Liberty.

Jefferson Monument.  It's huge, isn't it?

Thomas Jefferson

This is the Pacific side of the World War Two Memorial.  It has bronze eagles holding up a wreath inside the archway.

The Atlantic side of the World War Two Memorial.  That's it for now.  Stay tuned.

Whoops

OMG!  So sorry everybody, it totally slipped my mind.  Happy (belated) Two Year Anniversary!!!!!!!!!  To the blog.  I can't believe two years have passed.  Time really flies doesn't it?  So, to celebrate another year passing, comment your favorite posts this year.  :)  I can't wait until our third year anniversary!!!!
