Golden Gate Bridge

This is a great picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. I went to San Francisco once when I was a kid. I really enjoyed the trip and seeing all of the sights. I think that perhaps I should take my kids there sometime. I know that they will like it. If we go that far, we could go to Washington State or Oregon and see the whales as well. I know that they would love that.

I couldn’t help looking

In my search online for houses, I found beverly hills real estate site. A girl can dream, even though I will never have enough money to live in such a place. The homes were just gorgeous and expensive! Oh to live in a house like one of those. I could never keep it clean by myself that is for sure. I do wonder what it is like to live that kind of life, a life of privilege and lots of money. I definitely would not be able to sit around all day. I can’t keep still most of the time as it is. I am sure the staff that is required to keep it up would get annoyed with me interfering.

I saw a few that were so large that you could fit several families in there to live and hardly ever see each other. If I ever hit the power ball, I would buy one just to have for vacation. We would spend all of our extra time there, enjoying the Southern California weather. I doubt it gets as cold there as it does here, that’s for sure. I do know that it gets a lot hotter in the summer time. After all, death valley isn’t that far away. Oh well, enough time dreaming. I have work to do.

Dad’s toy

My father has gotten too old to ride four wheeler’s anymore, so he bought himself something that he can still play in. He bought a Yamaha Rhino for him an mom. Now he is looking for yamaha rhino accessories to customize his new toy. The weather is supposed to clear up and warm up as well. As soon as it does, we will take out the four wheeler’s and his Rhino to go riding through the preserve. It is part of a state park that allows you to ride on trails that are specifically made for them. We have gone there many times before.

Occasionally we like to camp there too, but it really is not that far from the house. I think we are going to plan a trip as soon as spring hits, to the Smokey Mountains. That way we can camp out in the mountains and ride all over them. There are a great many places to ride. Including the Shenandoah trail. Dad wants to go right away and just rent a cabin. He says we can ride all day, then relax in front of a fire. I am not too sure about that, but I will think about it. If we do, I think I might wait until it snows. That would be really fun.

Parental unit

Well the parental unit have decided to buy a vacation house. They are looking into real estate sunset beach NC area. They are not entirely sure what they want yet, or if they are even going to buy a beach house. After all this isn’t the first time they have talked about this. Honestly, they have talked about buying a vacation house for years, but never seem to decide on exactly where they want it to be. It would be nice if they did though. The family vacations would be a lot of fun if they had a place we could all gather together at.

Check it out

You have to check out the Body Armor Reviews on this site. I am always looking for new stuff for our Jeep as you all know and constantly finding cool companies that make after market products to use. Four wheeling is our favorite past time and we take excellent care of our Jeep so that we can enjoy it to the fullest. Protecting it is the most difficult part, when you go off-roading. There are so many things out there that can damage your truck. Between the rocks, mud, and trees, we have to be very careful.

We are shopping for a new bumper and roof rack for our Jeep, but finding exactly what we want is not always so easy. That is why it is important to shop around until you find what you want. I have found that Body Armor has some really good stuff that is easy to install. Installation is very important, because if you have to make a lot of modifications to install a bumper, then it might not be worth the effort. I don’t want to have to make modifications just to install a bumper.

For our roof rack, we want to have lights on it, without having to fabricate the mounts for it. It makes it much easier if they come with it. There have been times when we got a late start out to where we like to camp and having lights on the roof rack will help us set up a lot easier in the dark. I know that setting up a tent in the dark is not fun. If you are looking for after market parts for your 4×4, then you should try reading about Body Armor. You will like what you see and may find exactly what you need too. Have a great day.

Pontoon

I am already missing summer. I didn’t get to go out on the pontoon boat this summer as the motor broke down and we just didn’t have the money at the time to fix it. We are going to have it fixed over the winter, so that come spring time, we can hit the water with a vengeance to make up for lost time and fun.

Parts for Jeeps

My boyfriend has a Jeep that we use for off roading. He is very proud of this Jeep and keeps it in pristine condition. Finding after market parts for it used to be a problem, until he found Kentrol truck parts manufacturer. They have all of the stuff he could ever want to fix up his Jeep. Warrior Reviews can tell you all about Kentrol and what they do. We have bought a lot of parts through them and have plans to buy much more in the future.

They have stainless steel accessories that we really want to use on the Jeep, from bug sheilds, bumper, door and hood accessories to grill guards. I have never seen so many parts that could be used on his truck. One of the most recent things we put on the truck, was a Safari Sports Rack. Since we love to camp, we can load all of the camping equipment up on top and not have to worry about space. That is a major plus when you have kids and it’s a family camping trip. We always need a LOT of stuff to go camping. Now it’s not a problem anymore.

My man was reading about some of their stuff on Warrior Reviews and found that they have body armor for his truck. Now, he wants to put stainless body armor on the truck as well. I think it would look amazing like that, but I am not sure about it all being stainless. I am sure he knows what he is doing and it is his truck after all. He has really good taste too, so it’s all good. My oldest son is enjoying helping him fix the truck up. He makes sure to have my son there, and spend that time together. My son is now a serious Jeep enthusiast.

Hawaii

My brother in law and his wife just got back from Hawaii. They went for her sisters wedding. I have wanted to go to Hawaii for so long. I really wish I had been able to go to, but it was not to be. Ah well, someday I will get there. I have some family of my own that lives there and my aunt always tells me to come and visit, but it is very expensive to fly there. Maybe I should make a Hawaii fund and put a little into it each week. That is certainly and idea.

Vacation

I am looking for Florida beach house rentals for our vacation. We are going to the gulf coast of Florida for some summer fun. We are in desperate need to get out of here for a little while. The beaches there are really pretty with sugar soft white sand and the small towns are full of nice people. Hopefully we will be able to take a deep sea fishing trip while we are there. I am not sure yet about that. We shall see.

Good times

Wow, last summer was so much fun, but this one is just boring. We did so much last year. This year we seem to be stuck in the house and bored out of our minds. I want to go out on the river and camp so bad, but the boat motor is not working so we can’t. This really is a bad summer. My mom just went into the hospital for radiation treatments and isn’t feeling very well as a result either. Stress seems to be the main menu this year. I really hope that things will quiet down and we can relax a bit. Perhaps I will make another family night soon. It’s about the only thing I can do to break the monotony.
