… Depeche Mode is never disappointing. What an amazing show they put
on. Energy, electricity. Opening song, In Chains, amazing. Gives the whole
mass of fans a taste for the direction of the concert.

 
Oh and with true Depeche Mode fashion, they gave two fantastic encores,
and left the crown begging for more. We had an Absolute pleasure! Not to
mention these wonderful memories from the past… called…

A blast from the past… Ukraine. I was 17 and have moved to another city,
where I spent greatest 5 years as a student of University of Economy.
…Always no money… min food and sleeping…  black nail polish… Metallica,
Alice Cooper, Ария, Depeche Mod, Queen, Алиса, Черный кофе… just to
name a few. Would I ever expect that I’ll live here and visit Depeche Mod
concert some other day?! … Life is WONDERFUL, isn’t?! ;o)
 

I think this year in Seattle is most Wonderful and sunny summer we ever
had here. So, we are  trying offer to Kristin as much outdoor activities as
we can and sure so enjoy them too ;o) This weekend we visited such so
Beautiful Lake Wenatchee State Park and had wonderful camping time
with our friends. 
     
 
… Lots of activities: wind surfing, swimming, bike fun, camp fire… just to
name a few.  
 
Kristin started love running in the mornings; ride a daddy and was don’t
mind to allow Alex to take a close up shoot LOL!

Pixie looked excited too and spent many time with kids and had a fun with
good puppy boy Simba, who younger her for 2 days… and like all puppies,
loved spend some time on the hands ;)   

On the next day after beach, we with our friends have visited one of our
favorite places since so long, German city Leavenworth, were had some
walking and Yummy dinner… last “activity” of the day, but definitely not
least ;o)
  
 

P.S: Oh my, I’m still sooo out of my schedule, but decided to be not such
hard on myself and must admit that feel much better ;) If seriously, I am
going to hurry back to work, BTS things and some other hurry things…

… from our two days trip to Las Vegas. We visited it for the first time and
we had a Blast for sure… but I’ve got a strange feeling is that even if all
these “stuff” are PROP… and you’re probably not a kind of that Romantic
person … anyways, you would never disprove that Vegas is such colorful
and festive city ;o) Well, let’s go to some pictures “trip”… below are views
of Bellagio hotel and how “Paris” looks like from our room…

 
 
… We arrived VERY late on Monday and since Kristin was too tired, we did
not have activities that night… But in a morning.. FIRST, we’re so enjoined 
to swim in a such warm pool that I would never expect; then we’ve got 
great breakfast time and a little shopping… Even if there are no big Fan of
shopping in our family, it was interesting to compare stuff and we found…
that for example my favorite  Black and White House market and Cache 
offered items available only online here, in WA, and some of them came
with really great deals…  well, it’s logical ;o)
  
Then met Igor’s cousin and walked along strip (mainly in the car :o)

… Later in the evening we watched Mystere by Cirque du Soleil, a MAIN
reason I always wanted to visit Las Vegas. Unfortunately there was no
show O available during our visit, but we will back for sure! I can’t believe
that people have such Phenomenal possibilities and such Incredibly artistic!
They do things you couldn’t imagine… Absolutely Awe-inspiring!! 
   
Next day, after morning swimming, we drove to Red Rock Canyon 
(Love the panoramic picture Igor took!) A PLACE I would definitely come
back for some trails!!
  

 
P.S.: Oh and you know why I did not mention that 109 “Las Vegas” degrees 
at all?!! :o)  Can you believe it, but when we came back to Seattle,  the
temperature was almost the same as in Las Vegas but we don’t have
conditioners here LOL! I mean houses in Seattle never have conditioners
initially. We don’t need them according to local weather… not sure I think
so ;o)

We are off to Las Vegas this afternoon… Not planned and expected trip,
so seems double delightful!! ;o) The only thing… Oh my, I can’t imagine,
that in Nevada is about 109 degrees now… I’ll die with no doubts LOL!

I’m leaving my stores open and will do my best to manage them as soon
as possible. But please be patient with me if here is some delay. We are
back late evening Wed (July, 29).  See you then!!
