"Yellow Megaman" is only $8.95, so maybe your mom can put it on layaway...
It was my birthday on Saturday, so I spent most of the weekend going out to dinner and spending time with my family. Friday night Matt and Steve called to ask if I wanted to meet them for drinks. After going out to dinner with Vanessa I headed down to Newport Beach to meet them at Muldoon’s. Matt and Steve were already drunk by the time I was heading down to meet them (7:30 pm), so it was up to Travis to tell me where they were. I have only been to Muldoon’s once before, but it’s a pretty good Irish Pub. The beer is lousy, but the atmosphere can’t be beat. We hung out there for about an hour before going back to Steve’s place to hang out and have another beer.
The next morning Vanessa and I stopped by Henry’s Market to get a muffin for breakfast before heading to my Mom’s. My mom lives near the Prado Dam, which has been in the news recently for leaking. It was strange seeing the golf course under water and Euclid is now a lake. Anyway, I hadn’t seen my mom since before Christmas, so exchanged Christmas and birthday gifts. As usual she was overly generous. We went out to Johnny Carino’s for lunch and we showed her pictures of our trip to Europe.
When we got back to her house, Vanessa and I set up a new dial-up wireless network I bought her for Christmas. She has two laptops (Windows and Mac), but she is still using dial-up internet service. After a year of searching, I finally found a wireless network that will work for dial-up. Afterwards V and I went home to relax a little before going out for sushi. A lot of our friends were on a cruise and just returned Friday night. It was nice to get calls from everyone wishing me a happy birthday and to hear about the cruise.
Sunday, I hung out with my dad watching the Patriots beat the Colts (yeah!). Vanessa spent the day with her Aunt Beth and Cousin Sarah at Downtown Disney. My dad took us out for dinner at The Blue Agave. Vanessa and I spent the rest of the night watching Tivo and eating the ice-cream cake Vanessa got for me. Overall, it was a nice, relaxing weekend, which is exactly what I wanted it to be.

Page - Loved the trip report (especially the pictures!). But why do you have dialup? There's no high-speed 'net in your area?

Thanks for the nice comment. The dial-up is at my mom's house. I have broadband. I have tried to get her to go to broadband, but she is paying under $10 a month for her connection.
I'll post more pictures from the trip soon (including the Autobahn pics for rightonbro.com).

Oh, I see. The way it's written, I thought you set-up a wireless dial-up network for Vanessa in your house.
