As I sit here checking the posts, reviewing my email, my fingers are cold even though the heat is jacked up right now. I am trying to think warm, happy thoughts like being on the beach..

42 degrees here at 9:30 it was probably alot colder this morning I just didn't think to look!!

That is a wonderful picture Jeanette! You have a beautiful family to keep you warm on these chilly days. Thanks for sharing!

Nice photo Jeanette.....I did the resize just to see how it looked here (and if it worked) hope you don't mind. Next time lets see some faces.

Here's another pic. I tried to resize. Daughter is pouting, son thinks he is a dolphin, youngest son is picking something (gum) off of the wall. Who can guess where this was taken.

Sorry if it didn't resize.

J

darn it! didn't work! &^*&$&UY*&&^%^%$&*Y)(*

I know there are some murals painted on a wall by the Tomato Patch in Monterey Plaza. Did I guess correct?

Is it the Ben Franklin place, or do I need a drink and a nap?

Has to be Ben Franklins

Jeanette.....did you try the resizing method I told you about? The picture below was done that way.

LMAO!!!! didn't work!!!!!!

Could be Mako Mike's

Nope, not Ben Franklin's. The outside of Awful Arthur's gift shop! I know that it is corny and a very touron thing to do, but every time we visit, I take the kids' picture in the same exact spot!

Not an answer to the question but just what exactly is a touron? I know it's a reference to tourists and is a shortened version of a combination of words but what words?

you don't want to know!

Don't know why SteveB wouldn't tell you Gene. We use that term on the Jersey Shore as well, along with Bennies and other less flattering terms for the 5% of the tourists who are absolute obnoxious idiots.

Anyway it is "tourist + moron" = "touron".

It's because I'm shy Robert. I just can't blurt things out as easily as you.
But, I'll start trying!!! Keep your fingers crossed for me and maybe I can become a bold poster with thoughts of my own one day.

My dear friend Robert has answered below. :-) I figure if I am self-deprecating up front, the locals won't roll their eyes at me! :-) Although for the record, I do not consider myself a touron!

Oh come on now Steve....shy....LMAO!!!!!

Same here. Not a nice term. Most of us don't fit into that category.
