San Diego on a Sunday

Spending a couple of days down in San Diego for absolutely no reason at all. There is no occasion. There is no agenda, really. I hope to get to a yoga class, to an elliptical, to the pool. I hope to read a book. I might take the ferry to Coronado... I am going to eat some crappy food and probably some salads if I can find a Whole Foods or health food store. I am going to drink some cold beer. (oh! I already did that!) Isn't it funny how we have to schedule time to do nothing? The view from the hotel room could be enough to just keep me in bed though...

If it's September we're going to Pomona!

Pretty much every year I try and make it out to the fair. Basically if you've been to one fair you've been to them all and nothing really changes except the prizes evolve into the most current licensed hit (Hannah Montana) and the shopping expos get the lastest As Seen on TV must-have (ShamWOW!). Knowing this does not stop me from wanting to go.... here are some pics of things that can be seen and done at the fair. See you there next year!

Hot Wheels Road Trip - Detroit Stop, part 2 - BBQ!

After a short break and a shower we headed over to Hot Wheels Collector Joe's house where his wife had prepared an awesome spread of carne asade and chicken for us. Oh and beer and margaritas! yum.

Here is a link to some pics from the evening. http://picasaweb.google.com/cindymvaughn/HotWheelsRoadTripDetroitStopBBQ

Hot Wheels Road Trip - Detroit Stop

SheilaAnn and I didn't really leave the retail trailer for the event but I managed to get out and get a few pictures. The link is here in case the slideshow doesn't make you happy: http://picasaweb.google.com/cindymvaughn/HotWheelsRoadtripDetroitStop

We're heading out to dinner now, Collector Joe is hosting a BBQ. I'm thinking there is going to be some TASTY food there!

yay.

Hot Wheels Road Trip night 1!

It's actually almost 2 weeks into the Road Trip but I am just now joining, so it's day 1 for me.

today was a travel day, - we had a lot of luck with the flights being on time! Only on the one hour ride from Chicago to Detroit did I have to deal with OUT OF CONTROL children and hairy-arm guy... Got to the hotel and went out for dinner - a lot of places are closed on Sundays here so we ended up Chelio's - Chris Chelios' Chili place. Food was ok... nothing great. mmm fried chicken. it was sweet!?!










The girls talking about techonology









He's not amused with me.









I am totally amused with me.

me and a tired Hladek.

One of the collectors, Joe, came out for a beer.

good night now!

On the flip side

This is me writing the last one

Just landed

SASTC and I are texting each other on the plane about this hairy guy I had to sit next to, he wouldn't put the arm rest down and his hair kept rubbing up against me. If I like you then I like your hairy-self, if I don't know you then keep your hair away from me!

I'm MOVING!

In 21 days I'll be sitting right here.

Never forget...

It was already two weeks ago that I devoured this in San Diego and I just can't bring myself to delete the picture.

Chair time-out

There was something about the way all of the chairs were forced in there that made me sad.

mmmm matte

Upside down, boy you turn me

It got my attention, so I guess it worked.

He's missing the X Games!

Do you think he's heading to Carson? Neither do I.

X Games

I'm holding this stick. It's a very important job.

Tokidoki-so cute!

For the living room?

Do you think Guy would be upset if I brought R2 home? He's only $5450. Cute!

The garage had a boo boo

Don't be a prik

Home made prik khing! NOM!

This would never happen to Batman

Somewhere out there is a Spider-Man that feels less than whole

A day with Coop and Poub

Guy was outta town last week for Cooper's birthday party and so The Clough's invited us over so that Guy could experience some of the most delish carne asada and I could take pics of the baby and the cat.
