So this weeks events has brought up a memory that was half my life ago. When I was in the 8th grade for New Years Eve I went to Knott's with my Mom, Vivian Carpenter and Carmen Ottero. I know that Viv's birthday is that day so I am sure that had something to do with us going there. Also just to have something fun during Christmas Break. I know that we went on the Extreme Scream sort of ride and Vivian didn't want to go on it but did. I also know that at some point I had a photo of all of us going on the log water ride it was a key chain and I have no idea what happened to it. This week I went back to Knotts with my graduating 8th graders. There are so many different rides than the last time I was there. I had a good time looking around and riding the coasters. It would have been a bit more fun if I had a few friends to go with but I had my ipod and hung out with some of my kids every now and then.

Can you find me?

Time Square Part of our 8th grade trip was visiting New York. On this particular night it was raining a lot. For dinner we went to an Itallian Restaurant where somone asked me if I was a New Yorker on my way back from the bathroom I am not sure why, it is not like my voice even sounds like a New Yorker. Everyone was in their nice clothes because we saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. It was one of the coolest experiences in my life. The teachers had us run out into the middle of the street so that we could get a class photo. Good Times.
