Livin' Like A Tourist

My parents and I got to do some tourist-like stuff today. Stuff that I probably wouldn't have done really. How often do we live near really cool stuff and get stuck in a mundane life? Living in Houston we are surrounded by the best restaurants in the country. (I am willing to argue anyone on this!) Yet, we go to the same old restaurants over and over. And fun cool places we reserve for we have family or friends from out of town; our motive to show them what a neat place we live in. (Yes, even I am guilty of this in my beloved Houston... to some extent.)

Living in a place like we do I am hoping me and David, granted if he ever is in Port Orchard, don't get stuck in a huge rut. We have Seattle just a short ferry ride away, with shopping, concerts and neat restaurants. The water front in P.O. is so cute with shops and sea food restaurants literally just down the street from us. We can drive 10 minutes from our apartment and cut our own Christmas tree, but we haven't figured out how we will get it home. There is all kind of outdoors stuff like camping, skiing, fishing, hiking and so much more. I am going to make it a point that we get up and DO something while we have the chance to experience something different. And the same for where else we get sent on this wild Navy journey. Italy, England or where ever!

Try some new little restaurant in your area. Go down the street that you've always wondered where it went. Stop in the little gift shop boutique you say you are going to stop in but never do. Be adventurous and take advantage of the great earth God has made for us.

Ahhh. Ok, my inspirational talk out of the way. David has to retake the SATs. Yuck, I know. So as I quiz him, I realize how little of Algebra 2 and Geometry I remember. I though it would be fun to study along with him. Can you figure out any of these problems. I will reveal the answers tomorrow. Good Luck!

SAT ?
