Bunny Rock

I found a cool rock with a divot in it that is the same size as I am
and I fit right in! I'm naming it bunny rock. What an awesome place to
celebrate my b-day! Did I mention that we are celebrating it because
it is easter? Happy Easter out there to everyone, and all bunnies
everywhere!

Bunny ridge photo op

Here I am, chillin on a rock in sycamore canyon park, just across the
street from our place. Joe is taking some photos because the clouds
and sunset light are just beautiful! Anne and Joe trail run here a
lot. They call this place 'bunny ridge' because there are always
bunnies hopping around the rocks and bushes. I fit right in!

Birthday snail!

Just went over to jamba juice for a birthday breakfast smoothie and
some oatmeal...on the way back noticed a snail crawling on the hood of
the hummer! How crazy is that!

Is it live, or is it Memorex?

Here we are in Joe's old target store and found out that the
advertising campaign is out! What a handsome pharmacist Joe is! It is
funny that they photoshopped out the holes in his forehead where Joe
had an halo attached after he broke his neck! I am sure glad Joe found
me in the target bin that fateful day - I wonder how many of my
brethren have blogs?!?

Guess where I am at?

Can you figure it out? I've been here before...that's right! UCSD! Joe
is teaching another class at the pharmacy school today. He had a very
long day yesterday, actually a long week, so Anne and I drove him down
this morning. Nice day in La Jolla - it is actually going to be a bit
hot as there is no marine layer at all. Doggies stayed home today
because it would be too hot for them in the car. I wonder how many
more times I will come to San Diego?

Surfboards!

It's a warm spring day here in socal! We are doing a lot of work to
pack and one thing we will not be able to use in Minneapolis is
surfboards...we decided to sell them to our good friend Paul. I don't
normally have people in my shots, but Paul is special. He is the guy
that taught Anne and Joe to surf. If you look closely, he is giving me
"bunny ears!" I know Paul will put the boards to good use!

Ike's

Here I am outside of Ike's restaurant in downtown Minneapolis. Just
had an awesome meal with Anne, Joe, Al, and Laura. As they said back
in the day, "I like Ike's!"

Smokers!

We are hanging out in Starbucks again. This time waiting for Anne's
mom and dad to arrive. You can see the neat skyway that Joe will take
to work when the weather is bad. There is another Twins' game tonight
and the fans are starting to show up. Throughout the last few days, we
have seen SO many smokers! More than even San Diego! Behind me you can
see two girls that just arrived - they were already lit-up before they
sat down. I happened to catch one in mid-flick. This is the only thing
we don't like about Minneapolis. I should be OK because the bars and
restaurants are smoke free. So us the apartment building we are
looking at. I really don't like smoke...it messes up my fluffy coat!

New home plans - set F.2

Here I am sitting in Starbucks in Minneapolis with Anne and Joe. While
we were checking out the potential new apartment, the architect sent
us new house plans! We decided to look them over together now that we
are done with our 5.5 miles of walking around today. We checked out
the north loop today and the Mississippi on the north side of town. We
ended up liking the mill district area a bit more as it is closer to
the river and a little less run down.

How awesome is plan F.2?!? It has the modifications we talked about
with Jim last December. It rocks and is conceptually pretty much done.
Can't wait to work on finishing the design and building over the years
after we move here. What another perfect day and perfect weekend. I
love this trip!

Gold-n-plump chicken

Walking down to meet with the people at Mill District City Apartments
to maybe sign a lease. Ran into the gold-n-plump chicken mobile. Neat!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Here we are back at the hotel at the cookie shop. Had
supper at an OK Thai place. Walked all over the downtown area and
north of downtown on both sides of the river - 6 miles total. Very
many neat places. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow!

Tortoise and and Hare

More cool creatures here in front of the courthouse. Neat that there
is a bunny with long ears like me!

Another new friend

Here we are outside of the US courthouse in downtown Minneapolis. And
I've found another new friend! Very neat landscaping here - there are
built-up mounds with neat grass on them and various creatures all
around, many with cool rounds bellies.

Mississippi River

Here is a cool shot of the Mississippi River from the Stone Arch
Bridge just before the St. Anthony Falls. Very neat place to walk a
dog!

Ollu self-service dog wash

Can you believe it? Another cool place. We can wash Astro and Orion
for $15 here. Very nice people. Can't wait to try it!

Bunny vs. Goose

Walking along the Mississippi River and saw a pretty tame goose. I
think I can take him!

Moose Snyder

Here I am with my new friend, Moose Snyder! He lives in the West Photo
shop in Minneapolis. He has been to six continents and has met many
celebrities. He can be found on Facebook. How cool!

Surdyk's Liquor & Cheese Shop

Now this is the type of store that California is missing! A store
devoted to liquor and cheese! Can't wait to take LT here! Everywhere
we look there is something cool to do or eat - this place is WAY
better than San Francisco!

Peep show!

Can you believe it! We were walking around Minneapolis and came upon a
place, the River Place Exposition Hall, that had a bunch of "peep
shows" in their window! They were a bunch of Easter bunny and chic
peeps in various scenes. Very cool and I feel even more at home. Just
don't check out the jurassic park exhibit - very scary!

Turtle down by the riverside

Made it to the Hennepin bridge over the river. Found a neat turtle by
the heritage trail that runs along the river. Neat!

Dirty snow.

Here I am in downtown Minneapolis with what is left of the snow! It is
65 degrees outside and just beautiful! Joe, Anne, and I are walking
around and checking out the lay of the land. I love this town so far!

Off to MN

Here I am on a Delta flight on the way to minneapolis. I'm sitting
between Anne and Joe. There is a delay because we don't have any water
pressure...I still love to travel!

Topsy-turvy

Here I am on a Wednesday morning. Lots of changes coming our way and
it is making all of us a little topsy turvy, much like the way I woke
up this morning! Time to pack for our trip to Minneapolis to find a
new apartment to live in...did I mention that Joe got a great job
offer at Target headquarters!?! He starts on May 18th. I am so proud
of him! I'll be sure to let you all know about the changes we go
through as we make our big journey!

Wedding!

Got my snazzy jacket on for a wedding! There is beautiful light
shining through the trees on my while we wait for Andy and Becky to
come down the aisle for their outside wedding at Crestmore Manor - one
of Riverside County Parks Department's facilities. I like weddings.
