9/26/09: Garage Sale, Old Car show and Aquarium

Every year, Cupertino has a city-wide garage sale in Fall, and this year, it was on 9/26 and 9/27. Our house was not located in the convenient area, and very few people would pass by (unless they got lost), so it's not possible that we could get a lot of "customers". Stephen was more "result oriented", so he didn't like to hold the garage sale; I was more "process oriented", so I enjoyed the process of getting the unused items out , prepared for the sales and putting on the signs; 2 kids were also excited about it and digged out their old toys, and it's a unique experience for them. Since only one people was against the sale, and three people were for it, we had the short garage sale on Sat. from 10 to 12.

As we predicted, there were not many people here, but still, we sold about 4 things for $5.75 in total.

After we had lunch, we decided to go to Monteray Bay Aquarium because we have membership, and we should go there as often as possible to make the money well spent. It's about one and a half hour driving distance from our house, so it's not too bad.

When we went there, we saw a lot of old cars on the street in front of the Aquarium, so I asked one of the volunteers there, and she told me that it's a charitable car show. Even though those cars were old, they all had beautiful and bright engines, and they all looked like new. I guessed that the owners of the cars must have spent a fortune toward the cars.

Then, we went to the Aquarium and stayed till they closed. My camera was out of battery, so I couldn't take more pictures.
