I am always amazed by how fast time goes…once again several weeks have gone by with out an entry. My bad!
Besides the typical routine of life we have been up to a few activities. In early December we went to a charity benefit for Asian American Journal Association at the Children’s Museum in Saint Paul. It was a good time we met some great people, ate some good Asian food, and were entertained by varies forms of entertainment.
There was also a silent action and we bid and won on a gift certificate for True Thai and Midwestern Mountaineering. It was nice because we benefited the AAJA and got a great deal. It also gave us an economical dining option that we took advantage of.
Then a couple of weeks ago, a friend of ours (Karl) organized an outing. We attended The Holiday Pageant with Kevin Kling, Sarah Agnew, Luverne Seifert, and Amy Matthews at the Pantages Theater in Minneapolis. It was festive, entertaining, and full of slap stick comedy which got you in the holiday sprit. Yeah!
Christmas this year was spent in three places Illinois, Wisconsin, and Saint Paul. We left for Illinois the Friday before Christmas. We broke up the trip by staying one night in Madison, then traveled to my Grandparents house in Northern Illinois. It was great to see both my immediate and extended family.
Then on the 21st we headed to the Sheraton in Downtown Chicago for a three day stay. It was great to be in the windy city again and enjoy everything that it offers. We did the usual…run, eat, wander, eat, relax and then repeat. I look forward to traveling there again, maybe when it is summer. I think one day there were minus 40 wind chill. Burrrrr.
We then returned back to Saint Paul to celebrate Christmas with Tracy’s parents on the 24th and mine parents in St. Croix Falls, WI. on Christmas day. It was a great Christmas. I received more then I deserved and enjoyed the time spent with family.
