Okay. So I took the plunge. I started our family blog. (What does "blog" mean anyway? Anybody know?)You can all blame Robbie Coulliard if this doesn't work out. I got so into his blog that I started to stalk some of my other friends' blogs. It started with Kaye's since Robbie has hers linked to his. Then I hit Pam's and after Pam's the blogging tree just got bigger and bigger and I got the bug. I fell so in love with everyone from reading about their families and all the funny things they all do that I thought why not? Why not share my family's quirkiness with the rest of the world? Everyone else does. So here I am. And for my first entry (or is it "post"? I don't know all the blog-lingo yet) I'll explain the pictures...
We went to the LA Zoo last weekend. We had a blast. We pretty much saw everything we could see. You know how zoo's are -- the animals are hit and miss. They're either out or not. We got lucky. Most of them were out. And as far as zoo's go, I liked it. And honestly, I liked it better than the Santa Barbara Zoo. I know. I know. The clientele at the LA Zoo may be a little scary, but then again I'm sure we're pretty scary to a lot of people too (especially Mike:)). And EVERY time we've gone to the Santa Barbara Zoo NONE of the animals are out. The kids are posing in front of the flamingos (don't the flamingos look like a bunch of people who are hiding behind the bushes holding up their arms and bending their hands down kinda like the lochness monster photos?) On the way back we stopped at Pecos Bills Barbecue. It's this little shack that has been around since the 60's. They're only open a fews hours a day on the weekends and Mike has been trying to take us there for literally years. Every time we've tried, it's been closed. I was beginning to think it was some kind of urban myth -- did this place ever really serve food???? But it does and it is some good bbq! Not too hot and not too tangy. Just right! Mmmmmm.
So there you have it. My first post. Not very exciting, but it is what it is.
