A Mike Life – The Life of Mike!

Things I learned on vacation

// August 30th, 2007 // family

Our vacation was a great time away from Phoenix, away from the heat and away from the daily responsibilities that dominate our lives. However, despite all the relaxation and doing nothing, I did learn a couple of things that I thought I’d share:

• Fog is way better than 112 degree temperatures
• People never seem to like where they live
• A guy in a red shirt will be flipping off the camera behind home plate Monday at the Dbacks vs Giants game.
• If you don’t have cash to tip the valet, don’t pat him on the back instead
• Sometimes it takes a day or two to get into vacation “mode”
• Hotels should always have “hotel guides”
• Not all massage therapists have a sense of humor
• Some dogs will actually carry your slippers in their mouths behind you on a walk
• Seals like to play king of the hill
• If you stick your arm more than two feet outside a cable car, another cable car passing by will likely remove it from your body completely.
• The nicest restaurants in the nicest weather areas don’t seem to have outdoor patios
• There are literally Starbucks EVERYWHERE
• My poor little rear end loves stadium seating in theaters, and I will never again torture it with old fashioned seats
• Scott got an orange enV and I’m jealous

Thanks for following along with us on our vacation this week, it was a blast.

As a side note, you will all probably not be surprised that I purchased a little Sequoia sapling tree, which I plan to use to learn Bonsai, something I’ve always wanted to do.

I’d rather just plant the thing, but…yeah, a Sequoia in the backyard might get frowned upon someday.
