House of Cards

-


On a whim, we accepted an invitation to go to "House of Cards" with our friends CJ and Jody.  They invited us along with the Claytons, and another couple with whom they attended college (Ethen and Cassandra). You can't take photos inside the venue so we shoved into the only acceptable photo spot.




"House of Cards" is one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. First, the dress code was very strict; the men were required to wear diner jackets. A nice change of pace from going out in jeans.  Next, the food was really good.  I had a steak.  Third, they had a piano that played anything that you request.  I requested "I Guess That's Why They Call Them the Blues" by Elton John. Fourth, they have magicians stationed in nooks all over the restaurant so that you can watch/participate while you wait.  Fifth, they offer a magic show in the main theater, Sixth they have a great terrace for relaxing. Finally, the women's bathroom is really neat.    





The magic show after dinner was really fun.  We saw Evan the Great.  Michael and I were selected to help him on stage.













Even though it was really expensive, it was a great experience and I enjoyed the company our friends so much.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
