Hope you are enjoying a beautiful weekend!! Mine has been great so far, I took the day off yesterday and took my mom for a drive up the coast to Solvang!! It's a very cute, very touristy little Danish town. We had a great time, the weather was PERFECT, (60's there in town, 50's on the coast) and we loved the fact that it was a FRIDAY, and there were NO CROWDS!!! Of course, we came home with baked goods, chocolates, and LOTS of wine!!
Also wanted to show you the new 2009 penny.... they've traded Lincoln's Log Cabin for the Lincoln Memorial. (And YES, it still says "In God We Trust" on the front!! = )
My son is grounded this weekend (nothing big, he just forgot to bring home his weekly progress report, this week).... SOOOO his loss is my gain... we're watching movies tonight. Just got back from the Red Box, and got Hancock; Righteous Kill; and Lakeview Terrace... like I'm gonna watch ALL THREE tonight, but hey, at $1/night, I'll just return the ones I watch and keep the others 'til Monday.
Have a great rest of the weekend!!

Hi Joann! So you had a movie night with the son? I wish my daughters were here watching movies with me but I had to go solo. I watched it on my laptop with head phones on so not to bother the husband. He's watching B-Ball. Love the picture, it reminded me of my visit overseas to the Netherlands and parts of Germany. I love 50-60s weather, perfect! Especially with sunshine!
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I am suprised that the penny still has "In God We Trust" on it.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you enjoyed your trip! Hope the movies are good!
I have just discovered the red box!! hope you enjoyed the movies ... would have loved to have rode with y'all and got the dutch treats and pics!!
ReplyDeleteyour trip to Solvang sounded great ~ would loved to have been there with you ~ Hope your weekend is going well ~ Ally x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a Friday off to enjoy. That place looks like somewhere I'd like to visit too. Enjoy the time with your son even though it isn't of his making. 'On Ya'-ma

ReplyDeleteWHAT AN ASS ABLE WAS HUH??
HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY...
Love Solvang and glad you got some baked goods, they are killer :o) Half the fun of going to Solvang is the journey, the twisty roads, the tunnels, the mini-mountains.
ReplyDeleteHope the movies and treats were good :o)
I love Solvang! We try and stop there each time we head to Disneyland to get an ice cream cone--it's a tradition that goes way back! :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day, I'll make it to Solvang. I've only driven by it! Ken has been there because he lived in central CA for a while. Glad you had such a great time!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Beth

Did you get a butter ring?! Those things are the best ever! We make the 3.5 hour trip once a year to get them. Those Danes have a way with sugar and flower.
