Another busy weekend! Things got crazy on Saturday when we poked out heads downtown to watch the fireworks. I had hoped to sit on a crowded beach with the rest of the city, amidst the hoards fighting and drinking, and generally being nasty to everyone they see while we all wait for 20 minutes of pretty lights — but Karin’s relatives made us sit in luxury on the 24th floor of the Blue Horizon, eat snacks, and watch the show in the relative warmth of a hotel room. Sigh.

For those who are interested, and not willing to make their way out here to see it, I took some pics of Karin’s new toy. Minor explanation: white gold band, yellow gold pin, and then a shiny little rock stuck in there somewhere. And unfortunately — no — I did not get it out of a Cracker-Jack box.
