Road Trip: A night at the Ciddici's Pizza

Ciddici's Pizza is probably one of the best pizzas I've ever sunk my teeth into.  The crust alone makes it stand out among other pizzas.  Ciddici's offers pizza in a variety of different toppings  but I will say, their feta and spinach and their pepperoni and black olive is the best!  We all love it, so we made a night of it the night before President Obama was reelected.

Ciddici's Pizza is located in Albany, Oregon in an old Oregon Electric Railroad Station.

At the duck park

A few days ago we loaded up and headed over to the "Duck Park" in Albany.  It is actually called Grand Prairie Park.  It's a city park in Albany, but we like to refer to it as the "Duck Park" and you can see why.

Eco-Tip:  Power down your computers at night.  Powering down electronics will have a huge savings for you budget and it will waste less on power loss.  Think about adding all of your electronics to a power strip as well.  Then just one flip of the button and all is powered down for the evening.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
