Ticket 08396 and 08397

John and I headed out to Wimboldon again this year to join the famous queue as our ticket ballot was un successsful. Weather was not as great as last year but we had our blanket and reading material. This year our ticket numbers were 08396 and 08397 which meant we didn't make it into the first 8000 cut to enter the park so it became one in one out......at this point we left the queue after having been there for about 4 hours :(
We are entering the ballot again this year to try and avoid the queue and next year getting there a bit earlier...hopefully you will see some lower ticket numbers and pictures of some tennis in 2012 :)
THE QUEUE
The guy who never leaves the back od the queue haha

Bring your yellow ducky

We are headed to BATH!!!! the town is vary quant and full of street preformers which i must say were very organized and switched at the prime locations every 30 minutes. The entire town is a Unesco World Heritage site and we took a walking tour around which was nice.
here is john at the old roman baths. they are fed by a natural hot spring and have "healing" properties. We got to drink some of the water which was hot, smelled, and tasted a bit like well water. I dont think they will be bottling this any time soon.
hippies playing outside the baths :)

Prague..the lost photos

John and I joined the girls' Euro 2011 Euro Vacation in Prague for a long weekend. Rather than all the pictures posted in a timely manor to Facebook by all other participants this blog post has some of the uncut images from the trip :)
One of my favorites since John thought this shot up all on his own :) look at his face he is so proud haha
Julie and john outside the Le Terroir Restaurant not sure if they are scared or excitted about the price on the menu?? Julie looks excited with some classic jazz hands john however looks like he is about to fall over in horror
We had some great street food in the Plaza (everyone except jen and I..don't order the potatoe cabbage dish i forget the name it is NOT good). this picture is of sarah and julie sharing a cheese bread disney style :)
Karen always reads US Weekly however we are submitting this shot for the "they are just like US" section with the caption "they walk through plazas with their friends on vacation". The look says it all though i think :)
On our pub bike tour we got a glimpse of Jackie O (sarah was channeling her that afternoon)
....fellow riders know we saw a bit more of our guide than we had planned on as well....ick (disclaimer:nothing to do with the picture above besides it was also on the bike trip haha)

Outdoor Concert London Style....

John and I went to Hard Rock Calling at the end of June to see the Killers play and it was nice and wet, good thing for gortex and wellies :)
this woman was quite the character and danced the entire show in the rain. I can't really begin to describe this woman but wanted to make sure she was represented inthe post since we had a great time watching her and wondering :)
This family decided to bring their two young sons to the concert...Son #1 sitting on dad's sholders and singing every word to every song Son #2 pictured here trying to sleep on the wet ground under a blanket at the mom's feet (really??)
this family later started talking with john adn we were invited to Sunday roast at their house...details missing which would make this a legitimate invation...their names, address, or any other way to contact them after the concert haha.
