Mom and I left Ohio this morning. We are going home! But first we fly to Dallas and LAX. Aunty Lisa kept crying in the car on our way to the airport. Oh boy. Aloha!

Uncle had the day off so I stayed home with him and played Gran Turismo 5 while Aunty took Mom out. I think they went shopping again but without me. I wonder?

Since Aunty Lisa was feeling sick, I went to the Flogging Molly concert with Uncle Aaron instead. The music was different and the speakers were super loud.
No Keala, we are not going on a "W" yet!

Aunty took Mom and I shopping again. I think she's getting tired of shopping. She's not buying anything. But Mom's getting everything she needs before we go back home. Since Uncle Aaron finished work early today, he took us to his favorite restaurant called the Melt Bar and Grilled for dinner.
[pictures coming]

One thing that we do every day is walk the dogs. Keala and Ikaika got their walk late at night today.
Well at least Keala got her walk. Ikaika likes to just put on his leash and revs up to go and then puts on the breaks at the end of the driveway. You can't move him! So we usually bring him back home.

Uncle had to work today. Guess what Mom wanted to do today? Yep, more shopping! Aunty took us to Strongsville where I had my cooking classes. We spent part of the hot day in the nice air conditioned mall. Oh and don't get heels shopping!Mom only wanted to go to certain stores so it didn't take all day. We had lunch before we headed back home.
Aunty also took me for ice cream at Hershey's.
Aunty Lisa took me to see Britney Spears in concert. Nicki Minaj was the opening performer! I wished we were on time because we missed half of Nicki Minaj. But Aunty got lost and had to drive around town to find the parking entrance. But I had a great time! Mom had a great time at home with the dogs.

We were 14 rows from the floor but Aunty thought these seats were better than those on the floor. It was easy to get to and our bathroom was right there. Those on the floor seemed crowded and they had to climb tons of stairs to get food, drinks or use the bathroom. Our view was awesome!
Big Bad Bass, the Big Bad Bass...
Baby take a seat, eyes on me, this is my show...It's Britney, bitch!


I can make your bedrock... musical chairs! -- Nicki Minaj

But you're trouble to me, yeah your trouble to me...

I'm a slave for you...

Gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme more...

My camera/video ran out of memory before half of the show was even finished so I didn't get my favorite song "I Wanna Go" and Aunty's "S&M Remix". We jumped up and down instead!

Today we leave Philly. First breakfast!
Mom and I slept most of the way to Pittsburgh. Uncle drove through thunderstorms! I don't remember any of it. When we finally got it we had lunch. My ham and cheese panini had my french fries and some slaw in it!
I "shared" a rootbeer float with Aunty.
This sandwich is really big! I don't think I'm going to finish half of it.
Right around the corner was the Grove City Premium Outlet mall. Mom had to buy a football jersey for her friend. Uncle said "Go Steelers!"I slept again on our way home to Elyria. Can't wait to see the dogs!

Sunday, July 24

Today we went to eat Philly cheese steaks! Uncle Aaron wanted to compare Pat's vs. Geno's that happen to be across the street from each other.Uncle liked Geno's and Aunty Lisa liked Pat's.

After Mom wanted to go shopping at IKEA. On our way back to the hotel we passed the sports stadiums and got stuck in traffic. I waved at the SWAT officer who was standing next to our car.
Mom wanted to eat Popeye's chicken for dinner so we put it into my GPS. Unfortunately it was located in a mall that closed before we got there. It's Sunday after all. We happen to find Chinatown in the process. Will it be Chinese or chicken for dinner tonight?
We found a fried chicken place around the corner so Mom's chicken won!
Mom, Aunty and Uncle went down to the jacuzzi while I stayed in the hotel room and watched TV. Vacation!

Saturday, July 23

Today Mom and I get our hair cut! I was suppose to get my hair straightened but the salon couldn't fit the process into their schedule. I'm sad. Uncle Aaron and Aunty Lisa dropped us off and went to the Terminal Market.
When we were done, Uncle and Aunty picked us up and drove down the street to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
We didn't want to stand in the long line to see the Liberty Bell up close but Mom took a nice picture through the window.
The tour guide picked me out of the crowd to pose as the President of the United States. I had put my right hand up and say the words to swear me into office. I was nervous but I did it!
Aunty acting funny!We were hungry so Uncle took us back to the Terminal Market. I had a cheese steak.
We walked around to see what else was around.
Oh Mom, I want candy!!
We went down to the gym and worked out a little.
Then we got ready for dinner at Davio's. It's Tim's favorite restaurant so he made reservations for us.
Mom and I shared the filet mignon and lobster trail dinner. It was awesome!

Friday, July 22

We are going to Philadelphia!Mom and slept most of the way while Uncle Aaron drove and Aunty Lisa helped.
Aunty and Uncle in Pittsburgh. We stopped there for breakfast and a quick walk around. We continued on our drive and stopped around 1 p.m. for lunch. Mom had a sandwich and I had nachos.
It took us a total of 9 hours to drive to Philadelphia.
Me, Aunty and Mom at Logan Square fountain.Look what the Four Seasons got me and Mom! Surprise!

I pretty much slept in the hotel. It's very hot outside. I was lazy so Mom, Uncle and Aunty left me at the hotel while they went to dinner. I was going to order room service but Mom brought me half of her sandwich. It was good.
Uncle and Aunty having drinks at the Public House. It was around the corner from our hotel.
