Merry Christmas

 

The Tropical Sound Of Music

Aloha from Chico's Laxson Auditorium!

Here are Peaches and myself waiting to see my favorite living Hawaiian artist: Jake Shimabukuro, THE WORLDS FASTEST UKULELE PLAYER!

What a way to end an amazing weekend.
2:30PM, Newport Beach, Fashion Island, Yardhouse, Alaskan Amber & Cherry Wheat, my brother and I, beer.

Amazing.

Another Glass

Check another off the list, this is number SEVEN on my Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. tour.
What better way to spend it than with my family (minus Monica and Topher) in Long Beach.

I can't wait to eat!

I Was Shown Heaven

I'm at the Yardhouse with my brother in Irvine. This is my 'welcome to SoCal' gift: a yard glass (2 feet!) of ice cold Kona Longboard Lager.

I love my brother!

In The Middle Of Nowhere

This sign makes it tough to get a ride :-p

Off of California 299 about a mile away from juvenile detention facility.

A Late Night Outing

Happy 21st birthday Crystal!

Concert Number Two

What can I say, we are about to see a live performance of Pink Martini (the band, not the drink) here, at the beautiful Laxson Auditorium at Chico State!

Oh The Beauty

I have never in my life heard anything so moving. I was brought to tears when they performed Wagner.

Sarah and I at the North State Symphony at Chico State

I Love My Dad

Nothing like a quick game of pool at The Four Seasons Resort Lana'i, The Lodge at Koele.

Welcome To Hawai'i?

See what I mean, this is as un-hawaiian as it gets.

Another Island Another World

Another tradition of ours is going over to Lana'i and staying the night. This year only my dad and I wanted to go. The amazing thing about this island in how un-hawaiian it feels. Only 3,000 people live on this island which is owned by one man (well, 98% of it). I'll post a picture when we get to the town; it looks and feels like Tahoe.

Being Saved On Vacation

Nothing like getting woken up by mom saying were running late for church; I thought we were on vacation. Nevertheless, mass at St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Kihei is fun due to a vast amount of singing and closing hula/prayer.

A Dream Come True

It's amazing! Going to Hana on bikes is unlike anything I have ever done! Now this is a true father son moment I will never forget.

I Love My Employer!

OH MY GOD! TARGET WEST SACRAMENTO SELLS BEER! BEER AT 10% OFF. . . I THINK I'M GOING TO CRY!

It's Gone. . .It's All Gone

Nothing like losing 10 lbs of hair to usher in the summer. . .albeit a little late.

Hometown Brew

Nothing like having a beer with your brother in a hide away brewery (Beemann's Brewery in Roseville, CA)

Sugar We're Goin Down

Fall Out Boy them selves. The warm up bands were sweet, but oh God. This is more than I bargained for!

Sleep Train Pavilion @ Concord

Waiting For Fall Out Boy

Nothing like an ice cold beer and friends to have a good time sitting in the sun.
