Pennies From Heaven

Hello bloggers of the world! I am back from a very long and overdue hiatus. It's been so long since I've updated that I'm not even sure where to begin. Let me see if I can summarize what I've done recently and make it somewhat cohesive.

-Traveled to Uniondale, NY where I had my birthday with Ian at a bowling alley, stayed with Tone for several days and saw Jesus Christ Superstar for her birthday, saw Uncle Al and Aunt Barb, and went on a shopping spree at the nearby mall

-Traveled to Youngstown, OH where there was NOTHING except a pretty decent American Art Museum, and we played for the smallest crowds to date

-Traveled to Louisville, KY, which was a great improvement over Youngstown. Nice downtown, lots of places to eat, the Lousiville Slugger Museum (which I did not go to), the Glassworks museum (which I did go to), a winery, and the Lousiville Zoo! Oh yeah the zoo! The zoo was great! We got to go behind the scenes and pet the elephants and camels and rhinos and see them feed the tigers and sea lions and orangutans and a menagerie of other animals.

Now we are in Norfolk, VA, which has a nice downtown, a great mall that's within walking distance of the arena, and the Chrysler Museum of Art, which I am planning on attending.

I think the best thing I can do is try to upload as many pictures as I can in an attempt to keep the order of events that happened over the last several weeks:

Irish Car Bomb cupcakes for St/ Patty's Day!

Well I'm off to go grab some dinner, but I'll have to come back to the mall and post more later!
