Operation Dream Come True - Another Update

Another update on our plans for Operation Dream Come True.  I did some playing around on the internet, looking for fun attractions in the L.A. area.  As a result, we've booked a couple of tours that sounds like a lot of fun.  We'll be going on the L.A. Deluxe Grand Tour that will take us to all the fun and kitschy Hollywood attractions - Grauman's Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Bowl, the Kodak Theater, etc.  The tour company will even shuttle us to and from our hotel, so we won't have to worry about parking.  The movie buff in me can't help but be thrilled about this one.

We've also booked a dinner cruise from Newport Beach.  Considering that Newport is my birthplace, I'm excited to see what it looks like now.  Of course I won't remember anything from then, since we moved when I was so young.  But it will be exciting nonetheless.  Looking at the map, the harbor where we board the ship is only blocks away from the hospital where I was born, and I'm hoping for a photo op there.  The cruise sounds pretty fancy - a three course meal, music and dancing.  I'll make sure to have my motion sickness wrist bands and my dramamine in close proximity, just in case.

Hi, my name's Tracie and I'm a Mormon. That being said, I've provided enough context for the conversation I had with the receptionist at work today: Christy: (Showing me a photo) What picture is this movie from? Me: Mmmm, Serendipity maybe? Christy: No...you should know this. Me: I should? Christy: (Finally) It's from the movie "Charlie"! Me: How would I know that? I don't watch Mormon movies. They're dumb. Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess I should also confess that I also don't listen to Mormon pop music (other than the original recording of The Forgotten Carols), or read Mormon fiction. So sue me. Let's face it, it's not like most of them are of real quality anyway. When it comes to Mormon music, I'll stick with my MoTab and the hymns of Zion.

Triple D Divas Do Northern Utah

Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure). We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip. We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes. (Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.) ...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle...    From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese. After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff.  But nothing really excited me there.  However, the outlet is located...

Columbia River Temple

While I was at home in Oregon, the parents and I also took some time to drive over to Tri-Cities, Washington, to visit the Columbia River Temple, and walk around the grounds. The temple was closed for cleaning, but it was great to be on the grounds anyway. It was a beautiful day, capped off by a BYU win over Nebraska (you can see by Dad's shirt that he's representing, which most of us Mormons are wont to do whenever we go anywhere).
