OT - Where Are You Going for Easter/Spring Break
Mates,
It is a very slow time of year re: Michigan sports, and everyone seems to like our recent convo's about some personal stuff so lets push on. Today's question is: Where are you going for your Easter/Spring break this year? If you are staying put, then detail a favorite spring trip you took, but no MTV house party stories (is that still a thing?), we want to be gracious to our lady Mgobloggers.
Leaving Thursday morning next week for 5 days in Vegas, betting on the NCAA Tournament. I can only dream that we run the table in the BTT and I can bet on Michigan next week!

to Vegas next week to golf with buddies for his birthday, then we are taking the kids a week later to Florida. Suck it, Winter.
I will be Vegas also. Thought about seeing a show but could not find one I wanted to see. Probably going to watch a UNLV baseball game and play blackjack until the tourney starts.
about 10 miles west of Spring Break Ground Zero (virtually no college kids).
3 kids, always drive down with stops along the way (Mamouth Caves, Dinosaur park, zoo, etc.)
Meeting sisters family down there this year which hopefully translates into some fishing time for me.

My 3.5 yr old twins are currently leaking from every visible (& 1 invisible) orifice.
No one wants to fuck with my posse.
Lol. Apparently was not open when we went.
If you have not been, would recommend La Lucciola just to the south in Kuta. Beautiful beachside restaurant.
For 6 years straight, my wife and I would go to Vegas for our "Spring Break" (the first week of March Madness). We'd get there on Sunday in time for the B1G tourney championship game and the selection show, spend a few days gambling, drinking and seeing shows, and then on Wednesday, we'd place our bets for the tourney and head back home to watch the first 2 rounds in peace and quiet.
That was then. Now, for the 3rd year in a row, I'm just having a staycation and plan on just gorging on the finest carry-out food Ann Arbor has to offer while watching basketball from my couch. That's what happens when you move from Arizona back to Ann Arbor and have a kid. But heck, I'll take it.
Got time for Bed Bath and Beyond in there? Geez, I never want to get older. I sincerely doubt that you have more fun. Your expectations for fun and merely, though drastically, lowered.
"Ooooohhhhh! Honey is letting me get that Town and Country I've always wanted and isn't forcing me to get the Odyssey! Best day ever!"

what older life may lack in the flash-bang of social excitement, it makes up for in the depth of connection to a beloved spouse and the blessings of children. enjoy your time now, but don't fear getting older, just make wise decisions.
W.a.r.r.i.o.r. is a funny way to spell DOUCHE-BAG.
over exuberant in our younger years and we were extended some grace. how will they learn otherwise?

Kids LOVED it. Super kitsch-y. We call it Frankenmuth on steroids. (we live in frankenmuth) I did get suckered into buying the moonshine, and then saw it for way less $$ at Meijer. Still in the cute little mason jars. Titanic museum was fun, too. (everything is overpriced, though)
Smoking pot.

St Fatty's Day?
I've been getting emails every couple of weeks for the last couple of months from the city treasurer informing me that the owner of my apartment has not paid property taxes. I keep forwarding the mail to the management company that oversees the apartment and works with the owner, and they keep telling me that it's been taken care of. However, I keep getting increasingly ominious letters in the mail. Last one said that, if the taxes aren't paid by end of March, the property will go into foreclosure. I'm not really sure what I can do about it other than start looking for other properties and hope that it gets taken care of by the management company as they've promised time and time again.
Do you have a lease? If so, sit tight, although it's not ideal to have the property go into foreclosure, your lease will remain valid. The problem is the owner may abandon the property and thus the management company may give up the contract to take care of it. And then you won't konw where to send the check.

After this long winter, I want to take a break from it and go skiing
Spring game and then grandparents on the West Side for Easter.
One benefit of living in Shanghai is the opportunity to hit up different spots in Asia.
Last year we watched the NCAA games on my iPad in Vietnam. This year I don't plan to watch any games.

a cool show on youtube called Ultimate Globetrotter. It's about an Ultimate player named Elliot Trotter who goes to exotic places and plays Ultimate with the locals. Episode 1 was with the Boracay Dragons. They train their butts off 365 days a year to go here (the World Championships of Beach Ultimate):
Great show, and Boracay looks like a cool place.
went to the windsor ballet?

I haven't been to Canada since I was 20.

this week? happy birthday.
Most of our time will be spent sitting by the parents pool so it will be a nice break.
Nada, too busy, local travel only.
you humans call "New Orleans."
That is awesome. living in a houseboat. There are several in the harbor down the road from my home, in Manhasset Bay, people who live there love them. No property taxes.
I had to look up Lake Lanier.

Traveling back to Michigan from Nebraska for 6 days over Easter weekend. Fly back on Friday, Spring game on Saturday, opening day in Detroit on Monday, and fly back on Wednesday after spending some time with the family. Looking forward to a much needed break from work, and some good Michigan craft beers that are way too hard to come by out here.
