(more and higher resolution photos here) Thursday started off with another Sammy request; Kona coffee. Before doing that though Sam picked out a breakfast place called Basik Cafe, which served granola and acai and various other good-for-you things. While we were sitting on the second floor open air eating area we noticed that we could see […]
Hilo Days, Kona nights
(more and higher resolution photos here) For breakfast on Wednesday we headed to Hilo Farmers Market (Mom this is where your new jewelry came from) and found the only Mangosteens possibly available in the entire United States. There were only a few available and only from one vendor, so we essentially cleaned him out. They weren’t as […]
Hilo
(more and higher resolution photos here) For those who don’t live in Los Angeles, you should know that despite the smog we often do have breathtaking sunsets. Often these occur on the way home from work (if you get to leave while the sun is still out) and there’s nothing to be done about it. […]
Kayaking Marina Del Rey
I’ve taken on a ton of extra work at the office, so the weekends in January were basically a blur, later nights on weekdays and working on the weekends. (and no blog posts for a month) The stress was so bad that in the worst part I was only getting a few hours of sleep […]
Universal Studios
On Sunday Sam and I went to Universal Studios. I’d received another free ticket for participating in the KP employee day back in May, so we treated it as a 50% discount for both of us. Sam had found a discounted ticket at CostCo. We thought that the Sunday before Christmas would be fairly empty. […]
Thanksgiving 2013
High res (and more) photos here. Before noon on Thanksgiving Sam and I departed for San Diego to meet with friends for dinner. The drive was long even through traffic wasn’t too terrible. We stopped at a few of the vista points on the 5. San Onofre: Some lagoon: As it turned out our dinner […]
Ohio, Marietta trip
As usual, more and higher res shots of this trip can be found here. After my class on Friday my parents picked me up at the airport after I returned my car rental. We went to dinner at a BBQ restaurant with two of my aunts before heading home to Marietta. The next day we watched […]
Ohio Trip day 2
As usual, more and higher res shots of this trip can be found here. After the first day of my content marketing seminar I headed downtown to see the new bridge and path construction by the river. They did a great job on the place, looking much better than what I remember. However, there wasn’t’t a […]
Ohio Trip day 1
As usual, more and higher res shots of this trip can be found here. On Wednesday I rode along with Sam to downtown where she dropped me off at the LAX flyaway in Union Station. In a few hours I was in the air on a cushy new Delta Jet that was highly reminiscent of […]
Seattle visit October 2013
As usual, higher res and more photos can be found here. On Friday after work I walked to Burbank airport and flew to Seattle. Byron picked me up at the airport and we proceeded to a local restaurant for some a few bites and drinks. Afterwards we came home and had a few more drinks. […]
