Trashers,Dumsers,Fishers only at OC!

Pig out on crab!!!
Mmmmm Fishers popcorn…Mmmmm Thrashers…Mmmmm Dumsers!!! What a great couple of days! Went to Ocean City MD on Sunday and came back today. Stayed in a little hotel on 10th St at the boardwalk and it was just fantastic! Rode some rides and played some games on the boardwalk and took Claire to the rides at Trimpers!!She had so much fun!! She had a blast!! Just like how Jeff remember when he was a kid 40 years ago…wow he’s old!A lot of the same rides too!! The boat ride, the little bumper cars, the snoopy airplanes, the motorcycles that pop wheelies, the popeye boats! All of them were still there! Jeff is being a kid once again only this time with Claire. Seeing his smile and excitement while reminiscing his childhood days at the boardwalk make me feel good inside. I’m glad that he got to do it again after long years and he choose to do it with Claire and me. He wants Claire to have her first rides at trimpers just like where daddy's had his first ride.
I agree with Jeff that Thrashers is the best fries that I’ve ever had…WOW! They were so good! Just some salt and vinegar…mmmm. No ketchup served, and not necessary!I can still taste it right now and can eat the whole bucket of it! Even Fishers popcorn…I couldn’t believe how good it was…and I’m not a caramel popcorn person!Really delicious!On our second day at OC I did some shopping and ended up buying a lot of stuff at Kite Loft!!For dinner I insisted to have crab and yes we pig out on crab and shrimp!at Higgins crab house!Super!
The crab are just steam and seasons with old bay and it comes with a corn,eat all you can and with so much more like soup,fries,coleslaw,open kettle fried chicken and all are really good!!They just dump it on your brown paper covered table.I get excited evrytime I ripped crab open and working on each half and try to get the meat out of it shell and it excite me more evrytime I get a big chunk of meat and then dip it in a lemon butter hmmmm..I only use the mallet in the claw as the crab is already easy to crack open.Jeff said I ate at least 20 crabs and I dont care I love crab!!Overall We had a blast at OC and we'll always go back there.

Netbook to travel

I've been eyeing this Dell Mini 10 for 3 months, and yesterday I don’t know what get into my husband brain that He surprise me a Netbook!!!! I was speechless for a second he never give me a hint or anything that he gonna get it for me someday. But yess!! I have it now a Dell Inspiron mini Netbook! The size is perfect the screen is beautiful easy to see, The track pad is the best I have seen in fact. size of the keyboard is perfect that even with Jeff’s large hand he found the keyboard easy to type on.. Its so lightweight I was thrilled with the size of it. the 3 USB ports,6 cell battery and I think 160Gb should be enough as I use an external hard drive to save all my files. As far as connecting with friends,heavy email usage, blogging, surfing the web it does it job well! However, I feel the lack of upgradeable RAM but "Hey, this is a netbook! Get over it! This is a great traveling computer and my Sony Vaio is just my back up now.

Pack out day!!!!

Storage stuff
2nd day Pack out
My Surf Board to HHE!!!
Security Storage 4 axle

All our stuff is gone!!! The movers came this morning to pack out. They did the HHE, UAB and our consumables. We separate the things that goes to HHE and UAB, and all the consumables are in one room that make it easy to walk through the house with the 3 movers and explain what went where. They literally packed out everything...even the cut out coupons in the drawer that we forgot to throw away is now in our UAB!! I went to get lunch a bucket of KFC for all of us to share.They're done packing at around 4pm. They will come back tomorrow to pack out the storage shipment, which is all our furniture and 110v kitchen items and our winter clothes. Our place in Cameroon is furnished so we don't need to bring our own....and we'll get 220v stuff there or we can order online. As long as we have a coffee maker we'll be OK!! Tonight we'll sleep in a sofa bed in the basement.
7/16 ..We woke up at 6:30 sleeping in a sofa bed is not bad at all.Jeff went to get us a coffee and a box of Dunkin Donut to start the day. The movers arrived around 9 and start packing out the rest of our stuff that goes in the storage. At 1:15 they're done! The house is really empty now!! Nada!! We're "roughing it" on the floor tonight!!Thanks to The Security Storage.They did a Great Job!!!Pack out is over! Yahoo!!

Passports

Things are shaping up! I got my machine readable passport from my embassy and its really maroon! I'm used to green passport so I'll have to get used to it. From my embassy we went straight to Main State with the hope that my Claire's passport is ready! And yes! It was there ready for us to pick up! Little Claire has her Diplomatic passport!!! Then we had some lunch in the cafeteria and filled up some forms.After that we went back to the medical office for our yellow fever shots...and we got malaria pills too We start taking Mefloquine next week at least two weeks before your departure you're in prophylactics. Nurse Linda has been so nice after the shot she'll give a lollipop not just to kids mommy and daddy get one too!! Then we ran back up to the passport office and submitted our paperwork for our Cameroon visas! We had to wait until after medical because they require proof of yellow fever vaccination before we can apply for the visa! So those should be ready in less than two weeks! Better be...because we leave in three weeks!!
