I forgot to mention that Domo was at the beach too.

Domo had a good time.

Domo loves the beach.

Did you notice the slightly larger picture size? I made my site a little wider. A new summer banner too!

I love all the Domo stuff at Target. I wanted to buy all the little Domo's in Halloween costumes, but the thought of our very own Domo sitting at home gave me pause.

Instead of buying a bunch of new Domo's I made a pair of bat wings for our Domo.

All I needed was some black felt, needle and thread to make Domo his own pair of bat wings. Boo!

Here are a few pics from making the wings on my Project Gallery.

I also uploaded pics from making the Domo cake.

Today was Aaron's birthday so I made him a Domo birthday cake. I had been planning this for awhile. When I saw JustJenn made Domo cupcakes I was happy to see that Domo does indeed translate well to baked goods.

I think the birthday boy liked the Domo cake.

This evening I walked across the bridge with some fun coworkers to find dinner. I also had Domo and Piglet stashed in my purse. They couldn't miss Germany!

Domo was happy to get out.

Piglet enjoyed the walk.

All the buildings look so charming.

Here is where we settled on dinner.

Inside I ordered the world's largest frankfurter. Honestly... I had to chop it up so it fit on the plate. Oh and since I was in Cologne I felt obligated and I drank 1/3 of a Kölsch. Didn't get sick but it's still not my thing.

Despite how optimistic I look, I was only able to finish half of the frankfurter. I had to leave room for apple struesel of course. I also discovered I like red cabbage.

Thanks to all my wonderful blog readers, when I got home from Toronto I had many emails informing me of Domo's presence as the Halloween mascot at Target. Thank you everyone! I scurried over there after work and nearly hyperventalated from all the Domo.

Aaron just walked around shaking his head mumbling that he thinks someone at Target is reading my blog.

They did a really nice job and the Target I went to didn't even have everything up yet! Well, that just means I will have to go back again in a couple days.

I have asked for a post holiday display from the Target people before... and I always got the run around. I don't know if I can handle the rejection again.

I went to visit the Lama Temple which is interesting because it is one that is still in use. Instead of empty rooms, they were filled with artifacts.

The last of the five main halls has an 80 foot Buddha carved from a single piece of sandalwood. It's big enough to be in the Guinness Book of World Records!

Domo and Piglet are shooting for the Guiness record for most traveled stuffed critters.

( I added a video of the Great Wall on 1000 Words blog, check out the post and other videos on Kodak's YouTube channel)

I was back inside the Bird's Nest to see the athletics competition. Aka Track and Field.

My new favorite thing to do is to walk up to the top seats of each stadium... as far as I can go, and take a picture of the entire venue. Quite a view.

Sometimes it's a little hair raising. I usually don't have a problem with heights but some of these stadiums go wayyyyy up. Look at me gripping the bar for dear life. I just felt as though I might tumble over the edge and roll all the way down to the track.

I got to see the Olympic basketball stadium for the first time when I saw the USA play Australia. It looks like pieces of celery stacked up around the edge.

Piglet and Domo rooting for the redeem team.

Again, another woozy trip to the top of the stadium. Worth the shot though.

Today I went to the Forbidden City. It is ginormous. Building after building.

Domo and Piglet were hardly able to get the whole way through.

There is symbolism in everything at the Forbidden City. The number nine is the luckiest number, so the doors have nine rows and nine columns of bolts.

The more important a building is, the more critters there are on the corners of the roof... the most being nine. The gift shops and restrooms only had three.

Today I went to see the Temple of Heaven. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is my favorite historical building so far. It's so perfectly round, I would like to have a cupcake shaped like it.

Piglet was on his guard as we toured the grounds.

There are lots of bikes, mopeds and scooters in Beijing. Not as many as there used to be I am told.

I saw this orange scooter with pandas on it outside the Olympic Green.

Domo insisted on trying out this moped we saw. Not quite his size.

I like the Hello Kitty mudflap on this scooter. I wonder what the sign above it says?

I am taking oodles of pictures here in Beijing. I posted some tips for taking travel pictures over on 1000 Words Blog so be sure to take a look and let me know what you think there.

And did you know Kodak is on Flickr? Our newest digital picture frame can display your images from Flickr so we started a photostream there. Check it out and add us as a contact if you like.

The Water Cube obsession continues. I will stand in front of it for ages trying to get pictures of each color.

Piglet and Domo like it too.

I went to see some swimming. Everyone is crazy for Michael Phelps. It's like Phelps Phever.

There was heat after heat of swimmers. Finally, the very last one had Michael Phelps, so I did get to see him swim.

Piglet and Domo enjoyed themselves immensely.

Domo decided to give it a try himself at the Omega Showcase.

Today I got to do something I have always wanted to do. Visit the Great Wall of China.

We went to the section of the Wall in Mutianyu. You have to take a cable car to the top of the mountain to get to the Great Wall. We kept trying to get in one that Bill Clinton had been in.

Of course you-know-who went along.

What a view. It goes on and on. Unbelievable.

Domo was speechless.

Piglet was dumbfounded.

I made myself get up and go outside for some fresh air. Thought Domo should get to see at least a little of San Francisco before we go home.

Domo likes Citizen Cupcake.

Domo likes Lush. Domo plans on taking a bubble bath later.

I am in NYC again and Domo is with me. Despite his protests I made him pose with the Naked Cowboy at Times Square. I think I had Jamba Juice smeared on my camera lens... hence the blurry upper left hand corner. Whups.

Domo was relieved to discover the Naked Cowboy is not completely naked.

Domo and I also swung by Garrett Popcorn to get more of "the mix" for Tina. I first had "the mix" of cheese and caramel in Chicago. It sounds wierd, but it is delicious. And also addictive apparently.

Aaron got me this calendar for my office after Christmas. Domo calendar. Pretty funny right?

Now take a closer look. Anything look out of order? Look at today's date. Today is supposed to be the 28th. This caused some confusion for me last week before I realized what was going on.

I am nervous to see what the coming months may have.

Today Aaron and I went on a Holiday Cayuga Lake Wine Tour. Even though alcohol makes me sick it was a lot of fun. At the begining you get two wine glasses and a wreath. Then each winery gives you an ornament for your wreath. They all have food and recipes too. And grape juice, thank goodness. Here are pictures of our day on My Gallery.

Domo Kun went along.

Domo Kun had a great time... maybe too good of a time as you will see at the end of his photo gallery.

wrestler

Last week I realized that two of our local museums had similiar themes. The George Eastman House has an exhibit of Lucha Libre! Masked Mexican Wrestlers....

museum

...and the Memorial Art Gallery had TRANSactions: Contemporary Latin American and Latino Art.

salenas

This was too much of a coincidence for me so we had "Mexican Museum Night" with our friends. We hit both exhibits and then when to Salenas (newly renovated) for dinner.

domo

And Domo went too.
