The Griffith Observatory opened , free to the public, in 1935, built on land donated by Griffith J. Griffith. The observatory was closed in January 2002 to undergo a 93 million dollar renovation. A second level was added under the main floor to preserve the outside appearance of the observatory. Reopened in November of 2006, the hype resulted in an overflow of visitors. I don't know why. I was disappointed with the exhibits. Nothing exciting or interactive! A 20 minute wait for the shuttle ride there and back, no quick stroller accesses, hidden elevators and small hallways made my visit unsatisfactory. Not exactly a great place to take toddlers. Leonard Nimoy donated a million dollars to open the Event Horizon Theater on premise that shows a short film about the renovations made over the last 4 years. Whup De Do! That's what I get, what can you expect for free admission? This statue of Einstein was the most exciting thing I saw that day.

I finally did it. After dropping out of college 6 years ago, I finally re-enrolled and registered for classes at the local community college. I was only 8 classes away from graduating when I dropped out back in 2001 to go to Pharmacy Technician school. I have been yearning to go back to school, I even dream about it. I know I have a lot on my plate, studying to get re-certified as a pharm tech, then looking for a job, taking classes, cooking dinner taking care of my son... But it'll be great! I'm so scared and excited. I've been wanting this for years, I just hope I don't drop out again.

It's been awhile
After being home with my son for 2 years, I have decided I want to go back to work soon. I've been busy studying to take my Pharmacist Technician Certification Exam, to get re-certified. It has been while since I have posted anything, so I thought I would put up some random pictures of us having fun.
