Sunny ski day...

Saturday we went out to the Homestead to help our friend Kara celebrate her 30th birthday! It was a GREAT day to ski! 45 degrees and sunny! It was also our first opportunity to try our new skis! Doesn't Brian look great?!

Arts & Culture...

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life - Pablo Picasso

Today Brian & I participated in Arts & Culture Day for Leadership Grand Traverse....Brian earned his wings ;)

We visited the Dennos Museum where we got to play in the light room and distortion mirrors :)...Look at those eyes!

Hehe...what a smile!

Then we went out to Interlochen Arts Academy...this student was doing an art installation.

A pile of ideas or trash?

The beginning of paintings....paint.

The studio...

Then we headed to the costume department...

All the Converse...

All the colorful Tu-tu's!

These boots were made for walking...

Playboy of the Western World...

This past week Brian was in LA for work and had a fun filled trip in the mean time too! Check out his adventures....the Hollywood sign was out his hotel window!
A view of LA out the other window...

During the conference they shut down Universal Studio's Hollywood for the conferences guests..Brian had a great time riding the rides! They also got to see the back lots from Desperate Housewives!

Then the highlight of the trip was the closing night party...at the PLAYBOY Mansion!!! Yes, that is right! It was hard work I am sure but someone had to do it! :)

Brian at the Grotto....hehe!!

And finally...the Playboy bunnies..haha funny!

There were a lot of athletes there but Brian got to meet Coco Crisp from the Boston Red Sox's & said he was a really nice guy!
It was a once in a lifetime trip! With lots of stories memories and fun stories to share!
