Pimp My Ride

Anticipating a new car being necessary come August, I have lots of ideas, but no time for research. Ideally I would love to own a Chrysler 300C and a Tahoe fully loaded with big rims and mass thug appeal. You know how it is, Swarovski crystal paint job and Louis Vuitton interior - "it's all part of life behind the gates."

But... since I don't want to be single while driving my tricked out hooptie, a more fuel efficient vehicle is deemed necessary. The following are a few of too many options;




Toyota FJ Cruiser








Toyota Camry Hybrid








Honda Accord Hybrid

Over the Hedge

Saw this movie last. It isn't just for the kiddies - entertaining for adults too if you have no expectations.

Happy 32nd Birthday John!

John - 31 years ago.

Movie of the year? I think so.

The much awaited release of the movie, Nacho Libre, is just about here. You may not agree, but then you have to have a certain sense of humor to appreciate this type of movie.

Have no expectations and enjoy. Mark your calendars : Opens June 19th.

Miami Beach: Sand, Sea, Pina Coladas and Sunsets

Miami Beach is completely different that Key West. More luxury, art deco, more expensive too. Loved every minute of the hotel, beach, sun, people watching. See next post: celebrity sightings. We stayed at The Fontainebleau Hotel and Resort. In the midst of a $500 million dollar renovation, but you would never have known it from the places we dwelled. That is how we afforded it by the way. We were upgraded for free to their tower that was completed. 27th floor and amazing. Big Jacuzzi tub, flat screen TV, marble, tile. See pics that don't do it justice. Free bottled water in the fridge, but that was so you could stay hydrated and keep purchasing the $10+ drinks. Well worth it however. Best pina colada I have ever had too. Will hopefully go back someday when the place is finished. I would highly recommend it.

Key West : Sand, Sea, Pina Coladas and Sunsets

John and I have had a hard time adjusting back to everyday life after living the island life for a week. We spent a week in Miami Beach and Key West.

Key West is Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Jimmy did not disappoint. Life on the beach started about 9:00am with waking up to sweet smelling warm lime scented salty air. On the beach with umbrella, chairs and towels by 9:30. ($18/day as opposed to the $30/day in Miami Beach) Breakfast consisted of some fruit on top of a pina colada. Sun and swimming in the warm water until we were board and had enough. Frozen towels and Popsicles delivered every so often by a pool boy. ( I am guessing - didn't get a good look at him) Back to the room to get ready for the night ahead. Nights consisted dinners at Crabby Dicks (great seafood) Alice's Italian Restaurant, Cheeseburger in Paradise and of course The Hogs Breath Saloon. After dinner consisted of walking all over Key West (about 40 minutes from one side to the other.) and settling in Mallory square for the celebration of the sunset.

One to Skip

In an effort to try to customize this blog, I have to post some pictures here for use later. Sorry.

Kickoff

Well the inaugural blog needs to be something of great importance that will either make you love us or hate us. Ducks or Beavers. We are Beavers. If you are not let this be the first and last entry you read. Not really, this is just to forewarn you that if you do read this come August, it could get ugly and I am not responsible for any anti-OREGON posts by either John or myself. You have been forewarned...
