My wallet

August 7th, 2008 No comments »

Well surprise surprise. I received a message that someone has my wallet. You remember, the one with EVERYTHING including a wad of money that I lost in Vegas.

Turns out that it was found by the company that cleans all the linens and tablecloths for many of the Vegas restaurants and hotels.

They are sending it back to me through FedEx later this week (minus the wad of money).

All in all this is good news.

A good buddy of mine that I used to work for, and was actually in our wedding, Ken. Well he and his wife have a family tradition called MaDa; which stands for Mom and Dad Adventure.

Jen and I have been wanting to do one of these for the longest time since I told her what the concept was – basically we surprise the kids with a family outing (they have no idea what it is until we get there). Seems spontaneous for the kids and allows Mom & Dad to have fun planning a get away.

Well, we finally did one after….5 years. We went to Discovery Kingdom down in Vallejo. We had a great time. It was nice that Grandma and Grandad got to join in on the fun too.

It’s actually been 21 years since I graduated high school (I graduated in ‘87)!! Wow.

The alumni association put together a reunion for years 86-90 which was nice since I knew of a lot of people in those classes – not saying that I recognized them at the reunion though.

Check out the photos we snapped throughout the day and night.

Congratulations Jen !!
