Jackson Hole, Dim Sum, Glazenfyre, ArtsPalooza

Why I love living in Virginia Beach:

You can take yoga classes from world class Jivamakti-style yoga instructors as I did this morning.
You can have freshly made from scratch Dim Sum every weekend, as Amy and I did for lunch.
You can be treated to a FREE afternoon of ARTS ("ArtsPalooza") by the generous city and other philanthropic organizations at the (how did we live without the) Sandler Performing arts center, including:
Symphonicity-The Symphony Orchestra of Virginia Beach, Lollipop Concert
Magic of Krendl and Company
Scottish Dance Theatre with Tidewater Pipes and Drums
Juggling Workshop
Movement Workshop
Interactive Drum Play
Live demos Virginia Ballet Theatres
Opera Mask Making.......etc

Why Amy loves Virginia Beach:

Because of all of the above, and because there seems to be an endless supply of lipstick/gloss here.
Because she can have Dim Sum, go to ArtsPalooza, and go to Glazenfyre to pick up Uncle Michel's mug, paint Aunt Linda's mug and watch Mary Poppins all in the same day.

Why Daddy loves Jackson Hole:
Tons of old and new snow.
Epic skiing conditions.
A break from me and responsibility.
Sushi, other healthy gourmet food and no altitude sickness (thanks to Margarita and Diamox).

Dim Sum and Glazenfyre

Oh what a lovely day. Daddy actually found things he thought were delicious at Dim Sum! This is wonderful, because I'm addicted, and Amy wants as many outings as possible to be all three of us. If Dim Sum is like sushi, pretty soon Don will be recommending it on his own!

There is one picture that has no people in it, but I find it humorous. If you have been out with us recently, you know there is always an assortment of makeup, busy toys and kiddie chopsticks. This snapshot is so us.

The one of Amy with a zebra background is her spontaneous nap on my purse on the floor in the midde of dim sum!

Then Amy, Daddy and I went to Glazenfyre, where you can pick your ceramic item and paint it. Amy selected Uncle Mike to paint a mug for. Once the mugs are glazed and fired, we'll post them. We'll try to go back before Shamrock weekend and have Amy paint a mug for Aunt Linda, too.

Wow! These mugs are pricey. After we had bursts of fun and temper tantrums, I went to pay. These three (undoubtably beautiful) mugs ran $63.57!!! Oh vey!

She's the love of my life...

Fishy museum, Croatan Beach, Victoria's birthday party and Face Paint Fantasy......

Amy's New Year's Resolutions

Amy commits to:

Wearing her princess dress every day, no matter what the weather is.
Having one or two coats of polish on hand and toe piggies at all times.
The constant use of all lipstick and lipgloss, when not sleeping, eating, going to the bathroom or taking a bath.
