latest update about Dad

Well, coming back from Canada was also as long as getting there. We were supposed to go take a different route, a shorter route, but somehow the gps gave us the same directions going back. Instead of passing the Niagara Falls, we passed Syracuse instead. Anyway, when we got home, my Dad got sick. He got a flu, and his temp was higher than normal. But ever since we got back, seems like he’s ok by morning and by late afternoon, he gets sick. We were going to take him to the ER sunday night but he didn’t want to. His temp did get better later on so we just decided to call the doctor early morning to see what his advise about the situation.

Canada

We went to Canada last week and visited some family friends and relatives. Believe me, 13 hours of driving was not fun especially if your passengers in the back are taking their naps. But if I didn’t drive, I’d probably do the same thing. hehe

We stayed one day at Toronto and one day at Hamilton then we stayed four days by Niagara Falls. Niagara was beautiful, and the famous falls was gorgeous. We did a bus tour, all the tourist spots at Niagara but the very best thing about the tour was, the Maid of the Mist. That experience was awesome and made our vacation worth it.

So to the people who are thinking of visiting Niagara Falls, the Canadian side is better and I recommend you all to try and ride the Maid of the Mist. It looked pretty scary but it wasn’t really. It was a fun ride… Satisfaction guaranteed! =)

Popoy is 4 months old!

Popoy turned 4 months five days ago. We took him to the vet and he now have his rabies shot. He is now 33.3 lbs, longer, heavier, and even crazier! hehe

Our baby is now getting older and have been potty-trained for a long while now. Whenever he wants to go pee or poo, he usually barks in front of the back door. We’re so proud!

Oh yeah, the vet told us that he’ll probably going to be 50 lbs next month! And yeah, he’s still a puppy so he snags our shoes once in a while, loves to bite my slippers on our way up to the stairs, loves to bite our hairs, and pretty much just jump on us whenever he wants to. He’s so adorable! Here’s his latest pics…

Luray Caverns, VA

Last week, we went to Virginia and visited Luray Cavern. Luray Cavern is actually a natural wonder which was discovered hundreds of years ago. It is a large cavern with many formations.
I really don’t want to write the history but if you want to learn more about Luray Cavern, click here. I just want to show you some pics so I can encourage you to visit the cavern. It’s pretty amazing!

St. Michaels, MD

I’ve never even heard of St. Michaels until about 2 weeks ago. My wife wanted us to bring her parents to St. Michaels coz she heard that it’s really nice out there. It’s more like Inner Harbor, well, better. We really didn’t have enough time to explore the whole place and besides, we really didn’t even know where to go. But we did go to the Crab and Steak House for lunch. We also brought Popoy with us and it was difficult for he got tired pretty fast because of the hot weather. After lunch, we walked by the port and walked through the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Check out some pics:

Then on our way back to the parking lot, we met Bailey. She’s almost 2 yrs old golden retriever. She is gorgeous with beautiful hairs. She and Popoy played around a lil bit. We just imagined that Popoy is going to be her size in about 2 yrs or so…

After St Michaels, we got stuck in traffic and passed by the Prime outlet. Oh yeah, we had to pass the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and boy it was a bit scary! It was long, and high and did I say long already? he he Anyway, it was a fun day…
