Vacation-Saturday 9

Vacation (1982)

Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

1) Do you know how to water ski? No and I don't want to learn.  Mr BC tried it many years ago before we met.  I am curious to see if anyone water skis any more.

2) Do you have 2014 vacation plans? Yes, we are taking a big tour of New England, in our RV, this fall.  I have started planning it already, since it is around the corner. We will make some mini trips this summer.  DD2 and I are planning two days off this Mon and Tue.  We are going to Kansas City for a girls night out.  I know we will have fun. We also plan to hit Trader Joe's as we get out of town,  I am going to use my new IPhone to take pictures. 


3) Do you have a passport? Yes, but it is expired.  We need to renew so it will be ready if we want to go to Canada on the Fall trip or go abroad anytime in the next seven years. I have been to Turkey & Greece on a Med cruise, London, England, and Japan with this passport.

4) If you took a 7-night cruise, could you completely unplug -- no phone calls, no texts, no internet? Absolutely,  I love a cruise.

5) Do you own a travel alarm clock? Yes, an older model.  I use my phone as a clock and alarm nowadays.

This is our alarm clock, 6:00 am, every morning

6) Though the Go-Gos broke up in 1985, they frequently reunite for live performances. What's the last concert you attended? I have answered this question on a lot of memes and the answer is always the same.  I can't remember the last concert I went to!  We always say we'd "like to see this, that or them" etc. but never do get tickets. 

7) Their first hit was "Our Lips Are Sealed."  Can you be trusted with a secret? Yes, except I usually tell Mr BC.  He can keep a secret too.

8) In 1982, when this song was popular, the comedy Tootsie was in theaters. What movie makes you laugh? Well, Tootsie certainly did.  I still laugh at Trains, Planes and Automobiles.  There are so many, I am certain I will agree with your choices....I love a funny movie. 
  
9) Sam is chewing on a Tums as she composes these questions. What's the last over-the-counter medication that you took? I took some Advil and some Pepsid

yesterday.

1. Have you anything to confess today?

Road Trip

DD2 and I made a road trip to Sedalia MO, she had a job interview and I went along for the ride. If she gets/takes the job, it would mean relocating, but it would be a job in her field of study and that would be important for her future career in behavior/social work. So it could mean she won't even unpack here. 

Sedalia is north, between Kansas City and St Louis, not far from Columbia and the state capital, Jefferson City.  It has a population of about 21,000 and is the site of the Missouri State Fair and the Scott Joplin Ragtime festival. From 1866–1874 it rapidly grew because of the railroad and cattle.

Ohio Street

We drove the historical downtown area where they seem to be restoring some of the great buildings of the era. Sedalia has a number of building on the National Register of Historical Places.

While she was busy, I went to the City Tourist Center/Chamber of Commerce to get some information for her about the town and picked up a newspaper.  She finished the interview and we drove around a little. She was very relieved the interview was over and thought she felt she did well, they didn't reveal their hand any, so she will have to wait to find out more.
Our Googled directions had taken us there on two lane highways, I presume to keep us from going too far north of Kansas City to cut across,which would have been my choice. We took Highway 50  back, through Kansas City and decided to treat ourselves to a Trader Joe's visit which is 90 minutes from Sedalia but close to 2.5 hours from where we live in Southwestern MO.  TJ's Joplin...... if you build it, we would come.

We arrived home, after dark, with the all the bugs of MO splattered across DD2 VW new Beetle and 4 Trader Joe's bags full of our favorites. That really made the day.
