This is just outside of Burlington, VT. No where near the ocean. Think they took a left instead of a right.

Santa Monica pier, from the Palisades. This area is green only in the winter and turns brown in the summer.

Eld, the contents of the time capsule provoked lots of joy and fun. My grandson was awed by the expression of love and thoughtfulness that each item signified. 9-11 had occurred just weeks before so many of the items reflected the patriotism and cohesiveness of the nation at that time. There were newspaper clippings, magazines like Time and Newsweek as well as the US flag, people magazine with Alicia Keys- artist of the year on the cover and toy advertisements. Some guests took the time to create collages of family photos. Some selections became iconic symbols of the time, Harry Potter made an appearance in a copy of the first book, his cousins favorite at the time, Star Wars Pez dispenser of Boba Fett, Clippings about Carl Ripkin, a floppy disc and hard disc. Also included was a $2 bill. All the items were accompanied by hand written notes. His grandparents and his parents wrote letters. I included the congratulatory letters, mostly emails, I received after his birth.

maddiemo, I love it. There is a gas station I occasionally stop at named the Laughing Llama but it is no nowhere near as fancy looking as the Giggling Squid. No smiles there either :(
