Road Trip #5... Getting Older...

I'm 30!! yeah... that's right - THIRTY!! Whoa! I'm not quite sure what to say about that...
My birthday was a couple of days ago, bu we were out of town, so we celebrated it when we got back home last night. My mom made her YUMMY strawberry cake - it's sooooo good!
This past week we were in Valdosta, GA at a conferece. One of the days, the family we were staying with took us to this cool park. At the park, you could walk through the wetlands on a boardwalk - it was so neat!
The boardwalk was super low to the ground, so we were really close to the Aligators! One tim, Adam made a sound and there were two gators there that flipped out and kind-of jumped out of the water! It scared us all a lile bit!
At the end of the walk way, there was a big tower you could climb up and see for miles! It was really cool!
Here we are on the tower :)
We've already had 5 road trips and 3 airplane trips... and the next road trip is this weekend... Man, I'm tired!!

Yeah it's hard for me to believe you're 30. I'm thinking time stopped back in Virginia 3 years ago! :) That boardwalk thing looks fun, but I'm not sure I would've been brave enough to walk that close to gators! -Emily

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll

Funny Things - Age Appropriate?

Just wondering... but who thought that putting a HUGE Super scary picture right over the playground was a good idea??  hahahaha!!!  My kids were terrified! :) haha!
