New Toy

Gennie just bought a GPS navigator for herself as an early B-Day present instead of waiting until next weekend. So far we agree that it was a good investment.

Garmin nüvi 750 – Listen to MP3s & ogg formats, audio books, view photos, transmit spoken street names over stereo speakers with FM transmitter, POIs include: gas, Police, Fire, Hospital, add more with free software or buy an SD card with detailed POIs with reviews and ratings of all known businesses in their database.

• List Price as shown at https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=10625: $400 (was $600 when released last year)
• Costco Sale: $200

Who knows what the replacement model will offer this year at the comparable price: Bluetooth, lane assist, traffic. I’ll bet that the models that currently do that at the $500-$800 price range will drop to the $400 range. What else could they add? E-books, gas prices, Wi-Fi, internet browser? Might as well be a UMPC…

Family Beach Trip

We took a very short family trip to Huntington Beach on Saturday to try and take some family pictures for our Christmas cards. We will be posting the pics later tonight or later this week. The kids had some time to play at the beach and in the grassy area next to where we parked. I had also made a comittment to myself to read through Twilight before going to see it at the midnight showing on Thursday with some friends and I am happy to announce that on the way home from the beach I finished it. This was a huge accomplishment seeing as how I only started it on Friday!!! I guess I was a little obsessed! I also started New Moon on the way back, however I am taking this one a little slower so that the family gets some attention too, LOL. I can now see what my friends were talking about and how obsessed some people can get.
