Turkey Trip

That's right, in grand West Seattle Tobin's fashion we have booked a Thanksgiving trip. Over the last few years we have done Prague/Berlin; Paris/London and last year: Weird Thanksgiving in Galway.

Well this year we have decided to change gears a little and abandon Europe for........COSTA RICA! Woo Hoo, zip lines in the rain forest here we come.

But we wanted to utilize some of our almost 400,000 airline miles for this trip. Now in case you haven't read a business section in the last six years, the airline industry isn't doing to well. And it seems that the first thing they have cut is award travel. Now don't get me wrong, you can still accrue miles it's just really hard to use them for actual travel.

So our new trip: Miles flight to Miami, then a Caribbean Cruise.

Not only will this trip be unique for use, it'll also provide content for this space! /cheer
Currently we are looking for someone to watch Porfi whilst we are away..........volunteers?

Eight Years

That's right today is Paty and my Eight Year Anniversary!

This is normally the place where I would put a picture of us from the wedding. But since that was like eight years ago, all the pictures are on that film stuff that we all used to use. Weird.

Anyways, here is the new (and extremely vital) addition to the Tobin household:

And for all of you that remembered and sent an e-mail or called, thanks. By the way, the Spokane Tobin's anniversary should be two days out. Maybe you could remember theirs?

It's El Gaucho for dinner tonight, maybe we'll act the tourist and take the camera with us. Right now the big debate is if I can wear my 'cool' old man Irish guy hat to dinner. It is raining and the hat would signify the last year of our lives. Or at least that is what I'm telling Paty. Maybe I'll just wear the 'cool' hat tomorrow to indoor soccer.
