We Went To Vegas for 3 days

Day 1:  We went and saw Grandpa Winn.   He talked about his time in the Navy.  Not Sure why but his antecdotes were amusing.  Every now and then he would ask me about my work and then say, "you need to take a bite out of crime!"   He followed that saying with the McGruff Police Dog Bark.   Odd, but fun none the less.

So as is typical with our trips to Vegas it is either freezing cold or blazing hot.  Well, this time it was neither,  it was only 110 degrees.

After visiting grandpa we cruised the strip and did some shopping.  We were still a little tried having left CA at about 11 P.M. the night before.

Oh Yeah,   living up to that whole Vegas philosophy, "What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas" I had to sneak a photo out.   Check out this Moose Knuckle.   Yeah you think he dresses like this at home?  All I can say,  there is no Question this guy is an American.  We make fun of the Euro males for wearing their Capris  but really,  there is never a reason to go out in public like this. 

Hakuna Matata!

We had quite the Disney week! We met up with some friends at Disneyland on Tuesday and then saw The Lion King on Wednesday!  We have season passes to Disneyland, but they don't work during most of the summer months of June, July and August, so we have to get in as many visits as we can. 


Ryan and I went with Grandma and Grandpa White to see The Lion King!  It was so amazing!  I was really impressed with the costuming and how they made the animals looks so real!  If you have kids that like the Lion King, and aren't afraid of Scar, the bad lion, then you should definitely take them to this.  They would LOVE it!  However, if you've never seen The Lion King Disney movie, I'd recommend it before you see the musical.  Sometimes it was confusing as to what was going on.  All in all though, a super show to see!  Loved it!

Chabbot Bread

Look what I made!  I found this recipe in Cooking Light and it reminded me of some bread we used to get in Jerusalem.  It was the bread they made on the night before the Sabbath Day.  It smelled so good and tasted amazing!  So, I tried to make it, and it turned out just amazing!  I have made it 3 times now and I love it more and more every time.  It is so beautiful to look at and it tastes even more delicious.  Takes me back to my days in Jerusalem.  I love that tastes and smells have such an amazing way to bring back memories. 

I would say come by and have some but we have already eaten half of it and it has only been 24 hours.  I think it might be gone before you get the chance to come have a bite...  DELICIOUS! 

I spy with my blue little eye...

Guess what I did?  I had LASIK surgery on my eyes!  These are my very sexy goggles that I have to wear when I sleep.  I decided they would be good to wear when I cook especially when cutting onions...  And, guess what?!  They worked GREAT while I cut onions!  No tears!

The surgery was very easy and very fast.  10 minutes was all!  I couldn't believe how fast it was!  The next day I could see better than I ever had without my contacts of glasses!  It was awesome.  I did it last Friday and everyday my vision gets more clean and I love it!  I am so happy I don't ever have to worry about wearing contacts or glasses again! 

Ryan thinks my goggles are so cool that he wants to use them for mountain bike riding when I am done with them...  awesome. 

Mt. Biking in Moro Canyon

Ali and I on one of our first rides together.   We are each on new bikes.  

Ali is rockin' Myka and I'm on Bully.

This is Ali's favorite photo.  In the background is Crystal Cove.  She likes it when my shirt is un-zipped.  I had to put it up higher just to be modest for the photo.  

So Alison did not believe me that there were snakes on the trail and what she should do if she saw one.  She did not get my first explanation so she had me demonstrate it for her.   Yes, this is what a snake does with his tongue.  She didn't really like it when my tongue went in her ear.

But I must admit it,   She looks Smokin' hot!!!!!  I didn't think it possible but she looks even sexier on the bike.  Especially when she climbs up hills that other guys, (not me, of course) have to hike a bike on.

This one is just more of the same.  Why take the picture though if your not going to share it with everyone.  Ali disagrees with that philosophy.   She really knows me well.

Her bike is sooo cute,  it is soooo small,  but she rocks it like it is the biggest thing on the trail.  Hopefully, we can get some action shots of her soon.   It is not often I get to see Ali's competitive side, but this seems to bring it out in her, and I LIKE IT!

Well, one caveat to the last comment is board games.   She is really competitive with those too. She always seems to win (it is because she cheats.)

Windsor 29er Full Rigid. It is Awesome.

This is what Bully looked like in the photo online.   Bully is a Full rigid 29" inch wheel (26" is normal) single speed bike.   It is awesome.

 This is what Bully actually looks like.  I made some changes of my own, special touches if you will.  It is very punk rock.   LOVE IT.

Angels Fans!!!

Here is Ali in her new Angels wear.   I watched her walk around the store and saw her check the price tag on every item there.  (3 innings is what it took)   She then picked out the most EXPENSIVE item and said as she put it on.  I want THIS one.    So what Ali wants, Ali gets.  ;)

Enjoy.

Ali just read this and said,  "Thats not true, I picked the 2nd most expensive one."

So,  I'm not quite as Photogenic as Ali,  believe it or not this is the GOOD picture of me.
