The result: interesting stools

how does it do that?

We wanted to make our barstools more colorful. So we crackled.

This is the only Yankee Doodle Dinghy I saw.

Oceanside Harbor

For July 4th, we went to Oceanside because I was set on finding something called the Yankee Doodle Dinghy Parade. No one was as excited about it as I was, I guess, because everyone I asked really didn't have a clue where it was or what it was.

He thinks I'm going to make that cake.

A pony ride at the fair.

Could there be a happier Adam?

We went to a demolition derby at the San Diego County Fair.

ps....My hair took a turn for the worst when I got to San Diego. In the spirit of being frugal, I trusted a blonde Chinese woman (something very wrong with this picture) at Great Clips with clippers (something also wrong with this picture....don't you end with clippers if one needs a neck shave? I guess she thought I was a man. Oh wait. Great Clips. I guess that means every haircut gets a complimentary hack with the clippers). That's why it's super short again. Luckily, Adam has a friend out here who does great {expensive} hair cuts and saved me for a small fee. (You are not viewing the worst part: a giant STEP in the back.) I will only allow pictures of me later (as it grows) and only if my hair improves as I see fit.
