I'm back, would have blogged at 5:15 Saturday but Typepad was down. It was a very busy weekend. We started out with going to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner on Friday night. I had never been to one before. My parents keep telling me how wonderful it is. I'll have to give it a second chance as my food wasn't that great. Could be my fault, I ordered the hamburger medium rare and it was pink inside. Course the service could have been a little better too. Oh well, it's the expericence I guess. Now I can say I've eaten at a Hard Rock.
Then we walked about 20 feet to the Blue Man Group. They were interesting. I've really only seen them in Intel commercials but my son and dad really like them. Parts of the show were a little disgusting in my opinion. Which when I made my opinion known caused my father to remark that I am getting to be more and more like my mother. Thank you for the compliment, my mother is a wonderful person. The show is definitely interactive, Dad did even got a part, he shut the power off. They even TP the audience. It was a lot of fun. Then dad took us into Universal itself and we rode on MIB and got to shoot aliens. I was really tired at that point and was thankful to head home. Mainly because...
We had to be up at 4:30 Saturday morning for Nodettelet(1)'s open water fresh water dive. The dive was at 7:30 and it was two hours away. We can now say that we've driven through no man's land Florida. I sat on the beach and watched everyone's stuff and tried to refresh my memory with Nodettelet(1)'s open water book. It turned out to be much more amusing to watch the other dive groups that showed up. Some of the main rules in diving are try not to put your gear in the sand (bring a tarp) and lay your tanks down unless you are holding it or wearing it. Tanks can fall over especially with your gear on and they can turn into missles (see Mythbusters). I watched one group unload about 10 tanks and stood every tank up in the sand. Course they did this off a trailer attached to a truck that blocked the entire boat ramp so no one else could back down and drop off gear. Some of it wasn't funny, it was sad. Like the group that the instructor was completely geared up and in the water while his students struggled to get into their gear and one student was still up the boat ramp trying to get it all put together. Nodettelet(1)'s instructor Donna was by far the best instructor I've seen. Here's a picture of our group. Nodettelet(1) is second from the left
. Well, I had best get to work, I'll post about Sunday later today or tomorrow.
