Some "new" pictures for Joy
Ok Joy, here you go. :) These are pics from my spring break last year. I went to Arizona to visit Alicia and David Elie and see their new baby Michael. :)
We went for a hike in the mountains and saw many types of cacti. We also had a pretty good view of Pheonix.
Hmmm...today was only the first day of school. Is it too soon to start planning my spring break for this year? :) I wonder where I should go. Maybe I'll stay home and relax? Or maybe not. :) We'll see.

as far as next year's spring break, you could always try chitown on for size. museums (lots of ideas for your kids), cafe de lucca, kite-flying opps along the shoreline, IKEA, and the Big Shiny Jellybean (soon with all divets polished smooth) are among only a few of the many springbreakworthy attractions that do us locals proud. plus, it's very likely that by the time spring rolls around, you might even be able to avoid some of that nasty hammond-area construction!

Chitown? Chicago? I LOVE their science museum! :) What is the Big Shiny Jellybean?

Yes, Chicago. Home of pizza-style-better-than-New-York's.
TBSJ is our derogatory name for an [interesting] piece of art in the newly renovated Millenium Park. It's really called Cloud Gate. It's actually kind of cool, because you can see the cityscape reflected in it, day or night, the whole thing. And you can walk through and underneath -- it's like a funhouse mirror in some ways. But it does bear at least some resemblance to a frozen dollop of mercury, an overturned chrome kidney, or a big shiny jellybean.
See photos here.
Here is a longer description from the park's website:
Kapoor Sculpture (Cloud Gate)
"Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States. The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives."

Wow. Thanks for the picture link. The big shiny jellybean is pretty cool looking. :)
