You’re FINALLY 13, congrats!

Today is Robert’s 15th birthday. Hope it’s a great one!

After slamming us with a snow day on Monday Mother Nature made up for it by giving us a warm, if overcast, weekend.  It was VERY nice yesterday with temps into the low 70′s so we decided that we would have a car washing party at my place today and remove the winter scum from our cars.  Many of you have been giving me a rash of shit for not posting an pics of the new Z06 but she’s been so filthy that it wasn’t fair to her to post pics looking like that. We’re going to pick up some of the new Zaino AIO and do another session to put a real shine on the cars, but for now here are some pics of my Z06 and Val’s new Zoom-Zoom.

Zoom Zoom!

OK so by the time I’m actually publishing this it’s not “last weekend” so I hope Heidrun forgives my lack of timely posting!

Andy & Biggi graciously, if naively, invited the whole gang to spend President’s Day weekend at their place so Val, the kids and Sport could enjoy seeing some snow. We decided to rent a minivan from Enterprise to keep the wear & tear off of Val’s van. After getting it home Val noticed that the inside of the van was not that clean.  In the process of loading it I found out just how not clean, including a soda bottle, juice box, teething ring, some fries and a couple of chocolate chip cookies.  Enterprise will be hearing from me.

The drive was fairly uneventful, though we did hit traffic near Boston(again for me). Sport was very good in the car, except an incident where he notified us of his need to poop by doing a dead-on impersonation of Chewbacca.  Fortunately we’re conversant in Wookie so we figured it out and stopped to take care of that problem. We got to I-495 at just the wrong time again and lost nearly an hour sitting in very slow-moving Friday rush hour traffic. We got to their house close to 6:30, nearly 8 hours door-to-door.  After some pizza for dinner we settled in for an evening of Rock Band and we managed to break 1,000,000 points on a song for the first time under my profile, unlocking the achievement!

Rock On!

Saturday we had a relaxing morning as everyone recovered from the trip and figured out what we would do for the day.  Val & I decided to drag the kids, somewhat reluctantly on their part, out for some sight seeing as they had never been in that part of the country before while Andy & Biggi would head to the store to prepare for Val’s birthday Schnitzelfest. So we loaded up the rental minivan and after a quick stop at the NH Liquor Store for some schnapps and an 18 year old bottle of scotch (present for a retiring customer) it was off to Maine to check out Nubble Light!
