Sun 10/14/2007 8:40p | So, Villains was up on Sat for the soccer game it was cancelled, then she sleeps in on Sun. and it's not cancelled! UGH!! I hope you had some mudslides tonite to make up for all of it!
Do the mudslides already have the alcohol in them? If so, I can't get them at any grocery store here! lol I live in archaic PA, where you can only get liquor in the state run stores. We always get such a kick out of coming to CA on vaca and being able to buy beer, wine or liquor in the GROCERY stores! We think it's the neatest thing ever! lol
We live right near the DE border and you can get liquor cheaper there and there is no sales tax in the state of DE. So, on the weekends the PA people flock to DE for their booze. (and cigs, too.) You can get a hefty fine if you're caught crossing the state line with these items in your car. (and have your car impounded.) So, our state makes $$$ every which way! The liquor stores in DE actually advertise in our PA newspapers, encouraging people to go there and buy the stuff, too. I often wonder if anyone uses their credit card and gets caught.
Anyway, I'll have to check out that website you posted!
I am so jealous of Mickeynewe and her early Christmas shopping, too, Mater. I usually start on Black Friday. Some years, I get out too late and don't even get anything then! I imagine it must be really nice and relaxing to enjoy the holiday season w/o all of that running around!
So, tomorrow we should have a trip report! Villains, what day do you leave again? Is it Thursday? Is one of the kids going the autistic nephew? You'll have some good stories for us, I'm sure. My guys always do or say something to embarrass me, but it makes for a good story later.
(Any more emails from HER?)

Mon 10/15/2007 9:30a | Miss me????????????? Doesn't appear so. :)
I'll pop back on this thread in a bit.
First, I gotta do a review of Express Jet since this thread has been pirated. Then, I'll put up my trip report on the "Other Theme Park" section.
Finally, I'll come back here. Not because I think the other stuff is more important, but because if I get going here first, I will NEVER get the other things done.
I missed you guys, and YES, I did think about you while I was gone.
Back in a bit...I have a few more w*%k things to catch up on. |

Again, welcome back home! |

Mon 10/15/2007 10:14a | Wow - did we just get the brush off from MM or what? W**k things and other threads are more important than this... Look she goes away for a couple days on her own and comes back all independent or something - like she doesn't even need us!! Okay so much for the good laugh and daily dose of sarcasim...
Yes Tink the vodka and rum are already in the mudslides and orange creams - you just add ice!!
Not sure who's going on this trip now - There was a MAJOR accident in a tunnel on Highway 5 and parts are partially reopened today - but the they are still investigating what happened - so far they know it was 31 vehicles 3 deaths 10 critical injurys and 10 minor to no injury - it happened in a truck route part of 5 that goes under the main highway so they are investigating all the damage and there is ALOT of work yet to be done - most will probably start after commute hours, which is when we would be coming through - so SIL has emailed me today asking if I thought we should still go - I said I am going no matter what so I leave on Thursday after school, we'll see if I am going alone with my kids or with a truck full! |

Mon 10/15/2007 11:26a | Welcome back, MM!
I saw the accident on the news and read about it in the paper. DH & I both thought Santa Clarita sounded familiar to us, but we can't remember if we were there at any point on any of our trips, or if we just drove through. I looked it up on one of the web maps and the map stated it was about an hour from Anaheim. Our newspaper mentioned that that part of I5 was used to travel from LA to San Fran. I didn't even think that it would affect Villains trip! Oh no!!! |
