Yellowstone, National Parks trip Day 1, July 2011

So We took a National Parks Road trip in July....I guess it would be the last long trip we would be able to take for a while...We flew to Bozeman in Montana, and the trip started from there :)

Breakfast at LAX....


Random pics I took from the plane....weird there was a red river....

Funny how McDonald has this kinda welcome sign....I guess we are at cowboy area....

Decided to go to Yellowstone 1st since we had enough time...

So the 1st animal we saw in the park was a black bear....

We went to the basins since it's the closest to the entrance. We were lucky to get through most of the famous and colorful ones for the afternoon :)





So this is the most famous Geyser in the whole park...The Old Faithful...It goes off every 90 min or so...

While we were waiting for the eruption, this little guy stood there for me to take some photos of him....so cute...and he reminded me of Mintie :)

See how many people were waiting for the geyser to go off? I think we waited around 20 min...

On the way back to hotel....Isn't it interesting to see all the smoke coming from the ground???

4th year !!!!

Ok....I know I still need to update stuff from May and June, but here is a more recent post for July. We just celebrated our 4th year anniversary on the 8th of July....scary huh? 4 years already...The only thing we really did is to dress up and go to a relaxing dinner on that Fri. Yeah I think my belly is not that obvious but at the same time feels a little bigger...Anyway....

Here is Jar steak House in West Hollywood....We were pretty lucky cuz we went there early with a 5:30 reservation so there weren't many people at all...


Appetizers we got....Those eggs with crab meat was kinda interesting...

I was wearing the anniversary gift necklace....and we obviously had too much food on the table...

My skirt steak and Billy's ribeye steak....


Dessert was kinda weird with the hot stuff right below the ice cream....

Anyway....time flew by pretty fast....and I guess this will be the last anniversary we will have with the 2 of us alone :)

April 2011 stuff....

Didn't realize I didn't even update stuff from April yet....anyway....here are stuff from April....

One day Kitty and Dorcas called and told me they were in LA....They wanted to visit that night so that was that....I got Jay to come as well and we had fun chatting and drinking while eating some cheesecake that night....The last time I saw Kitty was probably a little after we got married....Time surely passes fast and I am still very surprised Kitty remained friends with me since I really didn't know her that well....lol

They brought me one of my favorite cookies all the way from HK :)


Ok....change of gear after the old friends part.....We went to Newport Beach one weekend and walked around on Balboa Island....Didn't really see much....

Saw this dog that was following this little boy around...I thought this dog belonged to the boy's family....

This....for some reason....reminds me of Halle Barry from the 007 beach scene...hahahaha

Here is the real owner.....lol....they do look alike huh???

Interesting purple paper umbrella....

The true purpose to go to Newport beach is to use our credits from the Landry dining club....We picked Chart House to try this time....and it was only ok I guess....

Bread and Calamari....

Salad Billy put together from the salad bar....weird they have a salad bar.....


Our entree and dessert.....

Nice view of the boats from the windows....

After meal we went to this small beach where not a lot of people were gathering...Very windy day as you can see from our hair....

Nice color as the sun was going down....

Best photos of the day were probably the bird photos....


This guy should be very proud I was using him as a model for a nice pic like this....:p
