Guess where we went for our 16 year Anniversary this last weekend? After Napa (which is beautiful) we went along Highway 1 (which is also beautiful) and through San Fransisco. What a great weekend.
This is an "Old Faithful Geiser" in Calistoga, CA. With only 3 in the entire world I knew I wanted to see it. It shoots up about every 40 minutes, because it's predictable, that is was makes it an "Old Faithful". This one reaches a very hot temperature of 350 degrees and then blows water into the air to cool itself down. It only lasts for about 5 minutes.
The original creator, created this model of his home town. Each house, building and fences were placed exactly where they were in the real home town. It took many years and lots of artists to create, but was finally finished before he died in the 80's. It's big and wonderful to look at. What a true model of one owns town.
I thought this was a neat tattoo as far as tattoo's go. As for myself, I'm not into tattoo's and even told my friend he was stupid for getting one. His is of a football team the "Vikings," how stupid is that... what if the team gets sold and moves?
It's officially a "Tradition" now. My oldest daughter had her 8th birthday and her first doll cake. My 3rd now that I have made. I had these cakes when I was a child and now all of my girls have had one also. Even the cake pan was passed on to me to use.
