Vacaaaaaatiiiiiiioooooooonnnnnnn!!!!!!

Our England trip may have been aborted. The Mexican cruise may have been taken away from us. But Seattle... Seattle seems to be the one bastion of relaxation that fate can't seem to touch.

For the third year in a row since we've been married (and the fifth time for me!) we're headed off to Seattle Washington this week for the fan-run BrickCon Lego convention.

Last year's event was the best by far, and although we're not putting on anything close to scope of the massive Battlestar display, we're still planning to have a ton of fun with our ridiculously amazing friends (who let us crash at their pads for free!) and enjoy a respite from the hot California weather that's been toasting us lately (I hear water falls from the sky in Washington, and it's not from fire-fighting planes...)

Congrats, Dad!

My dad was inducted into the Los Angeles Harbor College Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday September 11, 2009. We're all super proud of him, and were excited to be there for the (long!) ceremony.

I Know A Happy Girl

...who just got her all-access pass to Legoland California today :)

Not only did we go to the park to get Katie all signed up for her pass (photo and all) but we also found out she has free parking and personal use of all the same food and retail discounts I do.

Do I even need to say at this point how much I love my job and all its perks? I'm turning into a broken record.
