The Boat will leave the dock at 4:30. </div><div><br></div><div>Your goal is to make it onto the boat. Here are some ways:</div><div><br></div><div>Option 1.</div><div><br></div><div>We have a drunk bus that can hold around 35 people leaving from my Aunt June's at 2:30 pm. You can drive and park your car at Aunt June's (address:</div> <div><br></div><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=114+Illinois+160,+Trenton,+Clinton,+Illinois+62293&sll=38.656239,-89.687892&sspn=0.008965,0.013797&ie=UTF8&cd=2&geocode=Fe7YTQIdw3in-g&split=0&hq=&hnear=114+Illinois+160,+Trenton,+Clinton,+Illinois+62293&ll=38.656239,-89.687892&spn=0.004022,0.013797&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=38.656239,-89.687892&panoid=__pMeINyolzSWlzu2Mmxmg&cbp=11,66.85,,0,11.58">http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=114+Illinois+160,+Trenton,+Clinton,+Illinois+62293&sll=38.656239,-89.687892&sspn=0.008965,0.013797&ie=UTF8&cd=2&geocode=Fe7YTQIdw3in-g&split=0&hq=&hnear=114+Illinois+160,+Trenton,+Clinton,+Illinois+62293&ll=38.656239,-89.687892&spn=0.004022,0.013797&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=38.656239,-89.687892&panoid=__pMeINyolzSWlzu2Mmxmg&cbp=11,66.85,,0,11.58</a><br clear="all"> <br><div>)<br> <div><br></div><div>Park your car at their house, and then hop in the bus at 2:30 and it will drop you off at the boat! Then when the part is over on the boat, this wonderful bus will be back to bring you to Aunt June's for the fireworks after-party! There you can have fun and party all night and they have a super big fun barn that you can pass out in if you feel. (it's a nice barn with couches and stuff).</div> <div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Option 2.</div></div><div>Make your way to the river directly in front of the Arch. There is a riverboat there. Instructions for parking around there are found on the invites. Get there at 4:00 pm. If you get super drunk find a sober person to drive you to the afterparty (if you are going).</div> Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09621778980055964681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977190929949411710.post-24302931692401821132010-06-07T08:33:00.003+08:002010-06-07T08:42:01.032+08:00Bridal Shower!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_n0gc4NfmTBA/TAbJdtirk4I/AAAAAAAAAXk/gK6OqoG2hGc/s128/DSCF0837.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 128px; height: 85px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_n0gc4NfmTBA/TAbJdtirk4I/AAAAAAAAAXk/gK6OqoG2hGc/s128/DSCF0837.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></u></span></div>It was super great!

It's got a pool (i think) but no free drinks like at the Drury Inn, but it is the cheapest place we could find. (and I think my sister and I have stayed there before with our dad, so we know it's a real hotel and not just some sort of weird front).

Haven't done this before, but i guess the first thing is to set a place and date.<br /><br /><br />The place will probably be around St. Louis, since 80 percent of my family is right there (sorry kitty's side)<br /><br /><br />So i get done with class on the 7th of May, and will probably have to start working at some internship for a majority of the summer.<br /><br />So right now we are thinking of having it over a couple of days some time in early to mid August. Right now aiming at<br />August 14th-15th.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I think it would be cool to have some part in the City museum, but they make you use their caterers and there are a lot of them. So if people who are bored want to look through and find the cheap and awesome place let us know your pics! Also the city museum has some packages from 1000-4000 dollars just to have the thing there. Is that exorbitant?<br /><br />http://www.citymuseum.org/faqs.html<br /><br />Tentatively i think it would be cool to hit up both the Zoo and the city museum. Maybe have some time in Forrest park too!<br /><br />but i also require lots and lots of fireworks at some point of the whole wedding party, which people at all of the aforementioned places will probably frown on thousand of fireworks.<br /><br />Comments?

So after a few days of living on the floor, we decided that enough was enough, and went couch buying. Little did we know that a mere hour later, we would return with the coolest (and heaviest) couch known to man! At first glance one thinks, "Wow what a crazy couch!"...<br /><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z1MgacFjKdY/SoN6BujvQOI/AAAAAAAAKuY/Do4BdZKBAMo/s1600-h/P8110332.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z1MgacFjKdY/SoN6BujvQOI/AAAAAAAAKuY/Do4BdZKBAMo/s400/P8110332.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a> </div>...but then when you look closer, things seem like they might be even weirder in couch world than previously thought. The world seems to be in disarray, an inordinate amount of dogs are running about the land, people have vanished leaving piles of clothes, the only people around seem a little less righteous than average, all the christian pilots have mysteriously disappeared...<br /><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z1MgacFjKdY/SoN6CAynPgI/AAAAAAAAKug/lo3UuyAq-kQ/s1600-h/P8110325.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z1MgacFjKdY/SoN6CAynPgI/AAAAAAAAKug/lo3UuyAq-kQ/s400/P8110325.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z1MgacFjKdY/SoN6Nig5jjI/AAAAAAAAKvI/FNmIaIfGqfM/s1600-h/P8110328.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z1MgacFjKdY/SoN6Nig5jjI/AAAAAAAAKvI/FNmIaIfGqfM/s400/P8110328.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Yes! our couch depicts the End Times, the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming, THE RAPTURE!

Started out with we each had 4 bags (2 of which were terribly overweight) 2 backpacks, a purse and a carry-on, but one of our teachers drove us all the way to the Futian Border crossing where there were people to meet and greet and carry our luggage for us all the way to the HK airport. Then, because the HK airport is so nice, they had free big luggage carts which made our luggage a breeze. At check-in we got the nicest guy in the world who drew us a little map and sped us through the whole process and only at the end did he say, "Now sir, i want you to know that your bag IS pretty overweight, so maybe next time try to make sure that it isn't too heavy, okay? Thanks a lot!"</div> <div> </div> <div>Our only worry was coming back through the Chicago airport, but once again they had free carts and customs didn't check our luggage at all!</div> <div> </div> <div>When we got back, Mom and Doug greeted us with big open arms and more importantly NACHOS GALORE!</div> <div> </div> <div>So far it has been awesome!</div> Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09621778980055964681noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977190929949411710.post-2209411288000002332009-07-20T21:56:00.001+08:002009-07-20T21:56:26.562+08:00Back!

It was really cool, we can post pictures later.<br><br>We also climbed up Mt. Emei, which is one of the 4 sacred Buddhist Chinese mountains. It took two days and we had to sleep in a monastery on top of one of the peaks. The dorm rooms were sex-segregated and Andy got pinched by some monstrous rat/cockroach in the middle of the night. Also there are native Tibetan macaques that live on Emei Shan and they are surprisingly scary. The guide book talked about "monkey tolls" on the path, where you have to pass by monkeys expecting a hefty fee in food and sparkly or enticing goods such as cameras, wallets, etc. In the official monkey protection areas, ladies with slingshots follow each monkey and prevent too much mischief, but outside of those areas you're on your own. Andy and I almost got attacked by a group of ten to twelve monkeys with their babies - a couple of them started making truly terrifying growling sounds, but we avoided eye contact and held threatening looking sticks, and we passed without incident.<br> <br>Lake Lugu is really pretty but maybe not quite as weird as you would expect. It's purportedly the only matriarchal society left in the world. They have all kinds of goddess mountains and stuff, and the line of descent goes through the mother instead of the father. As far as we can tell, men don't have too much importance in society. Anyway it's also home to a huge plateau lake (we think we're about 2 kilometers above sea level), and the lake is really gorgeous. <br> <br>We're probably leaving tomorrow to go to Lijiang, since this place is gorgeous but life is a little slow and too boring for Andy. It's weird because I'm getting more and more homesick and wanting western food and stuff, but I know we'll be leaving for good in two weeks, so I should probably try to soak up Chinese culture even more. However, I guess Lijiang and Dali are big backpacker towns so it's probably really easy to pretend like you're barely in China at all. While we were trekking on Emei Shan, I dreamt of coffee and french fries, so it's hard to pick another bowl of tomato noodles over a delicious western breakfast when it's available. <br clear="all"> <br><br> Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09621778980055964681noreply@blogger.com3
