End of Summer, Beginning of Fall

Hello blogworld!

Much has happened through the summer and into September. Nancy has finished her first rotation at Loma Linda for her 4th year and now is working at Costco in LA. Instead of staying the week in LL, she gets to commute from our home. Speaking of commuting, we now have a new 2010 Silver Rav4 for her to drive. I think Toyota cars are great. They're a great drive and very durable. We bought our Rav4 at Puente Hills Toyota. I swear we're never going back there again. I didn't like the experience we had there and regret not sticking with Russ from Hamer Toyota. I posted on yelp as well.

But at least some good came out of it. We found two new restaurants, Boston Cafe, and Boston Kitchen. Boston Kitchen was pretty good when we had breakfast there. It was a classic Hong Kong style breakfast of soup noodles and sandwiches. Anyway, this is turning into a review so I'm going to skip the details.

On Labor Day, Nancy and I met up with the Tong family with Aunt Jane and Uncle Ken in Las Vegas for the F&W Associates company trip. We stayed at the Mandalay Bay and had a fun time at the Wave Pool. The craps tables were kind to me as well and we took the family out to Olives @ Bellagio. They really enjoyed the experience. I ended up $475 from the tables but after shopping at our favorite place, Tangier Outlets, I was probably down to $150 haha.

For my birthday Nancy took me to Disneyland. We were lucky our friend Tracy works for Disney and got us park hopper tickets as well. I had a great time because a lot of 9/13 babies were there and were very friendly. It was like a community from young to old, all of us were born on that day. We discovered Dole Whip Float by the Tiki Room and it really hits the spot on a hot September day. We got the drink twice! In addition, all the Disneyland people were saying happy birthday to me and that really was pretty special. Even Peter Pan during the parade celebration gave me a thumbs-up happy birthday wish. As cheesy as that was, I felt pretty cool haha.

Final Thought: The weather is turning colder now (well cold for LA anyway) and the chilly feeling of Fall is coming. I sort of like this weather. The leaves begin to fall, the rain starts to come around and I get the hint of the holidays around the corner. Football season is here and UCLA basketball is a comin'! This time of year is great because I think people come closer together and see each other more. There's more festivities to lighten the season and in the cold season of winter, the company of family and friends will keep us warm. Bring on the holidays!!
