Atlanta

2 weekends ago Rick was going stir crazy and I suggested we go on a little road trip. Being as my friend Cindy had just moved and i wanted to see her newly downsized digs and i also wanted to see the Georgia aquarium Atlanta seemed like the perfect destinatin. It didn't hrt that we could get out of freezing ohio and and into 60 degrees and sunny Georgia either. We spent the night Thurday at an Embassey Suites where they upgraded us to the governers suite(gotta love those diamond perks!) and went to dinner at Fogo de Chao a supper yummy Brazlian resturant where we stuffed ourselved on delicious meat.Friday we spent all day at the aquarium and it was beautiful! then we met Cindy and Ernesto for dinner and ate at Taqueria Del Sol. I would eat tacos everyday if I lived in Atlanta. The Margarita are pretty darn good too. Then we went to the chocolate bar where Rick and i had a delicious butterscotch drink and a faboulous esspesso marshmello desert while poor Cindy watched us because she had given up sweets. Don't feel to bad for her though, apprently chocolate martini's don't count and she had one or two of those. We stayed with the Espinoza's on Friday night in their new Super cute 1 bedroom apartment and I was slightly jealous of their downsizing. Saturday we went with Cindy to Stone m ountain and did some hiking. the weather was perfect. Later after we showered and dressed we went for a walk to have some lunch and get some sunshine. We ate at Belly and it wa very good. On the way back we walked for like 3 miles and i said to Cindy"you don't have any idea where we are do you?" to which she answered with a laugh. I think I shall get her a compass for Christmas. We certainly walked off all of our glutenous dinners from the nights before! It was a beautiful day. When we got back, Rick and I decided to head back for Ohio. 9 hours later we walked through the front door. It was a perfect little get away.

The Mrowzie!!!!!

So I have to tell you I love this cat! We got him in September and now I can't imagine we didn't have before. He is very sweet. He loves to pounce his feather and climb on his TRee that Rick made for him. In the mornings he must snuggle us until we get up and give him his greenies. He is such a sweet little man!

Honeymoon

Rick and I went to Hawaii on our honeymoon.We started out on Mauii and stayed at the Grand Wailea which was a marvelous resort. The grounds were beautiful, but fortunately we had used hotel points for our room, because if we had paid the 600 dollars a night for the room I would have been pretty miffed. We went to the top of Haleakala and then rode bikes down from 10,000 ft. Boy was it could at the top but it was a awesome bike ride down. Rick and I got our SCUBA certifications to some diving in Hawaii and did two boat rides then 1 night dive. The night dive was amazing! Our boat dives were at Shark Fin rock off the coast of Mauii. We spent some time doing the roadto Hana where we did some off roading inour Jeep at Honomanu bay.We did some hiking both at Waianapanapa Beach and also at Oheo Gulch.
We headed over to Oahu for the remander of our trip where we stayed 2 days in Honolulu and went Pearl Harbor as well as Hanauma Bay before heading to the North Shore where we stayed at Turtle Bay. we spent the last couple days of out trip laying around on the beach at Waimea and snorkleing at Shark Cove. We spent our nights watching sunsets and just hanging out.

here we go

My Friend Cindy has a great Blog. I hope my Blog is worthy. I am a flight attendant so most of my traveling is done via 10 hour turns in hotel rooms. My husband and I do quite a bit of random traveling however and I will try to keep current with my blogging. I feel that i have quite a bit of past blogging to catch up with so i will post some of my past experiences first so my current travels don't look totally boring.
