Ahh, It's Great to Be Back!

We got back from our vacation yesterday.  We had a blast.  (All except for the hiking disaster, and the popped barrel.  Oh, and the coffee spill!) it was a great vacation.  I wasn't able to write a post yesterday because Padmae wanted me to drive.  (She bought a new book at the Shopping Spree Mall on Saturday and she wanted to read it).  I was really happy that we went ahead and had our vacation because Luke has picked a college that he wants to go to (he and Lea are 18, so he is going a little late, but, he wanted to stay home for this year).  He wants to go to SAN (Space Academy on Nabu).  Lea has decided not to go to college because she is marrying Hon this year and probably won't have time.  Man!  I will be sad when they are both gone, but, hey!  We had a fun vacation!

What a Day!

Today we spent our whole day at shopping spree mall. I am in our hotel room writing this post right before going to sleep. Man! If anyone does not know, it is death to go shopping with a superpowered woman for 5 hours! I only bought a new blaster for my collection, but Padmae bought a whole trunkload of stuff for herself and Lea. We will have to rent a U-Haul. Tomorrow is the last day of our vacation. (I am going to nap and let "superpowered Padmae" do most of the driving!)

Wendusbad Caverns

Today we arrived at Uvo IV. Then we went to Wendusbad Caverns (heh! No joke). But aside from the overly-appropriate name, we had a pretty good time. Padmae was happy pretty much the whole way through, but she wasn't that thrilled when I jumped over the guard rails to have a look at a stalagtite. (Neither was the tourguide!) But she (my wife, I mean) brightened up when we got to the gift shop. She bought a little model of a stalagmite. I bought a picture of one to give to my Jeddi homework teacher Master Wendu and am going to write on the back, "Thanks for all the homework. Love, Ani". It would have been a perfect day except that Padmae told me that our last stop on our vacation is Shopping Spree Mall! Ugh!

Interesting...

Today we are leaving Aqualares (the location of the Big Bad Falls) and going to Luke and Lea's home planet - er asteroid. It is an asteroid called Uvo IV. The place where they were born (George Lucas got THAT part of the story right!). We will arrive there tomorrow. It has this tourist attraction called Wendusbad Caverns. I can't WAIT to see those! (I wonder if they will have stalactites and stalagmites in the form of homework papers!) I am going to get some photos to take home to Master Wendu! Hee hee hee!

Wild Ride!!!

Sorry I didn't write a post yesterday.  I was black and blue all day.  Ever since my attempt at riding an inflatable barrel down the Big Bad Falls (obviously a literal name).  It would have been a success, except for all the sharp rocks along the way.  (For those of you who don't know: inflatable things POP on sharp objects.  I found that fact of science out on Monday...)  Goodness gracious!  One thing I can say though, I am quite hydrated now...

The Big Bad Falls

The vacation continues. But, probably not today. We are staying in a hotel near the Big Bad Falls. (I have heard they are like the Niagara Falls. Except...bigger...and...more exciting!) We saw them yesterday, but I haven't gotten a chance to ride them in an inflatable barrel that I packed. Padmae is taking a nap right now. Now's my big chance!!!

The Journey Continues

Yesterday, we were on Moss Eyesley at Lucas Land.  Now, (this early in the morning) we are in the ship on our way to Aqualares where we will see The Big Bad Falls.  I heard it is really fun to ride a barrel down them.  I just don't know if Padmae will approve.  We'll see...  I really want some photos of this!
