Side Notes

1. For those of you that did vote in the poll last week, the answer was Woodrow Wilson. He is buried in the National Cathedral, which is part of D.C. He is the only president. JFK was a little tricky because he is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, which is just across the river in Arlington, VA (not in D.C.).



2. Here's a link to all of the pictures from the road trip to NC, SC and DC.

via Hong Kong? or Tokyo?

I chose Hong Kong. Yep, my flight is booked for August 15th. Now, it is a refundable ticket because it hasn't technically been approved yet, but I think it should go through okay. I'm on the priority wait list for an upgrade to business class. Only 15,000 miles. I have like 190K and for some reason thought upgrading my flight half-way around the world would be more than 15,000 miles. But I'm not complaining...more to keep for later :). Apparently business class is currently only 50% booked - so please, no one else book a ticket so that I can get my upgrade.

My desk chair has joined the couch in departing the apartment. My picture from the last blog also raised some interest. So here's a couple more items I have in case anyone needs some bar stools or a desk w/o drawers. :)

Not much else noteworthy occurred this week. Tomorrow will be shopping for my red, white and blue apparel. Then making cupcakes to bring to the family outing on Saturday. I will try not to eat them all before hand.

Next Wednesday Mom and I begin our road trip to SC to see Katie and Tom. I'm sure that will prove to be much more exciting material and some good pictures. Stay tuned 'til then......

I hope everyone has a happy Independence Day (4th of July)!!

*Oh! if anyone wants tickets (up to 3) to view Peoria fireworks from the rooftop terrace at my apartment building (front row seats), let me know. I know, you're thinking Peoria fireworks?, but really, it is quite an impressive show for all the other things that the city may mess up.
