Visiting Family

My mom, step dad and I drove up to Sunnyvale to visit with my grandparents, aunt and uncles. It was so good to see my Uncle Don, who I haven't seen in a few years. Aunt Nancy and Uncle Gai were also there, always fun to hang with them.

I worked mostly on their computers, and fixing their phones. I also got mostly everyone set up with Skype so that we can have video chats together.

I was also able to talk to my uncles and aunt, more about my surprise for my grandparents. Its all coming together! It should be completed in the next couple of weeks. And don't worry, I will post it on here too. :)

Finally a vacation!

I finally booked our tickets to go see Adam's Grandma, Katherine Lane in Washington!!! We are going for 9 Days, September 12 through the 21! I am so excited to go, I haven't had a vacation like this is over 3 years. Adam talks so much about Friday Harbor and how beautiful it is, I can't wait to see it in person!

New Car Stereo's!!!

This Sunday Adam is getting his new car stereo installed in his Camero. We have been on the search for car stereo's that can control your iPod without having to mess with our iPod while driving. We found a few that do that, that are really nice. We put one in my car about 2 weeks ago, and Adam was so nice, he got me an amp and a sub!!! Now my music in my car sounds GREAT! Adam liked mine so much, that he decided to upgrade his as well. We got everything we need from Best Buy, and the install is scheduled for tomorrow! He is so excited! No more FM Transmitters!

Lotusland!!!

My mom invited Adam and I to go to Lotusland with her and my grandparents, Joe and Dorothy Ames (her parents). We took a 2 hour tour of the 37 acre property, and we weren’t able to see everything, but it was stunning! We saw some of the most exotic plants on this earth! Even some that are near extinction.

Madame Ganna Walska, a well-known Polish opera singer and socialite, purchased the estate in 1941 and spent the next 43 years of her life designing unusual display gardens with exotic plants. More history on Madame HERE.

Here is a map of the gardens, to show you how amazing this place is: MAP of LOTUSLAND.

I took pictures of Lotusland, with my little point and shoot camera, so they are not the best work that I have done. My mom and I are going to go back, on an un-guided tour because she is a member, that way we can go all over and take tons of pictures. My Lotusland album is HERE.

I highly recommend anyone who is visiting Santa Barbara to go to Lotusland. Its honestly a once in a lifetime experience. The pictures don’t do it any justice.
