Awesome Pre B-Day with my peeps

Awesome Pre B-Day with my peeps

I had a blast with my family, Jackie, Marie, and, Atom. They really made me feel like “the boss” for the day.

The day started with a great lunch a Wolfgang Pucks Bar and Grill at Nokia in downtown LA. The sirloin burger was tasty and satisfying. After a nice relaxing walk around the area we headed to The Last Bookstore in downtown LA. We were lucky to find parking near the area given that city parking is always hit and miss and not to mention scary, especially when kids are involved. The bookstore was not disappointing, I came out with two good used hardcover books, Entanglement and boundaries and Barriers – On the limits to scientific knowledge.

When headed to The Grove for some desert at the Cheesecake Factory. At the Cheesecake Factory I was sang the birthday song and was given my gift, a cool Fossil watch, black on black face and dials. Following tradition wherever we go, especially on a bday, we visited Barnes and Nobles, where found a new book which I have not encountered and bought.

We ended the day at the movies at the grove. We saw Captain America. We all enjoyed it. As we left the movie around 10:30pm, it started to drizzle but we made it to the car just on time. By the time we arrived around neighborhood the rain started coming down hard. We stopped by for a light night snack at Dell Taco before getting home. We all rested on the sofa and vegged and watched the TV together. Nothing beats spending time with people wanting the best for you and celebrating a special day. Can’t wait for next year!

Fun times at Boeing’s Bring Your Child to Work Day

Fun times at Boeing’s Bring Your Child to Work Day

After two years waiting Atom finally was able to got to work with Dad as part of the Boeing Bring Your Child to Work Day. I was happy too 🙂

I was able to invite Carly with the sponsorship of Nick. Thanks Nick!Carly, Atom, and I arrived at Boeing HB around 7:30am. We attended our two scheduled demos but mainly explored the open sessions. Atom and Carly participated in the egg drop where Atoms egg was ruled cracked despite only having minor cracklings. Carly’s egg survived.

They also participated in the aluminum foil boat activity where they had to create a boat of foil and place as many marbles as possible before it sank. Atom’s boat sank at 45 marbles whereas Carly’s count was at 104! (Way to go Carly).

Overall the event was a success, it kept both their interest and they had fun. We ended the day with a late lunch at TGIF in the mall.

Minecraft TeamCrafted event at Club Nokia

Minecraft TeamCrafted event at Club Nokia

Marie, Atom, Richard (Atom’s friend), and myself attended the TeamCrafted event at Club Nokia. This Minecraft event was a Q-and-A event with the masters on Minecraft You-Tubers all of which Atom and Marie knew and recognized. The kids really enjoyed the meeting and seeing these guys offline. Atom and Richard gathered enough courage to get in line to ask a question. Unfortunately the Q-and-A time ran out and they didn’t get the chance to ask. They didn’t turn down the opportunity to wait almost two hours in line to meet and get their autographs and not having eaten any lunch. We arrived at Club Nokia at 11am and arrive in Whittier until 5:30pm.

Once we arrived in Whittier to pick up Jackie we had dinner at Chillie’s on Pico Rivera.

Marie’s Indian tribe project was on the Sioux tribe. She really put in a good effort and it came out very nice!

And yes, those are Lego people depicted as Indians. Marie personally designed the outfits herself and her creative imagination. She’s such a fashionista.
