You.Are.Awesome

Are you ever like.....
           "Damn, I'm awesome!"


if so....
   What are you doing that makes you say that?

I wanna know what brings you to that high point. That thing that gives you adrenaline that makes you feel on top of the world.


For me its usually right after I successfully jam out to a good song....
.... or after I beat an Expert level Sudoku puzzle.



I'm pretty sure this little guy thinks that phrase every day....
Or at least he should think it....because he is!!


This is one of Snoop's favorite places in the house, with one of his beat up toys that he left there.


Have a great week!

Pacific Beach, California

I have decided to (every now and then) do a review on one of the beaches here in Southern California (mostly sandy-eggo beaches).

I am going to start with one of my favorites (so far): Pacific Beach....or as absolutlyeveryone calls it here, PB.


Recently I decided to practice my photography skillz with my new-ish camera, so I headed down to PB with our roommate to take some photos. 

There are sooo many reason's why I love it here in PB, but to some it up: They have good bars, lot's of CLEAN sand, not too many bugs, and the place is full of color
Now, when I say "full of color" I really do mean it. Many of the people who hang out here have very colorful personalities, and don't mind showing it off.
You may get a random person asking you an off-the-wall question here and there,
and I can guaranteed that 15 bucks will get you a 'love the free world' tie-dyed t-shirt!

But, that is why I love it so much. People come here to relax, be themselves, and have a drink or two
Sometimes I look into that ocean blue and just know that I could stare into it forever.
Not to mention I absolutely love the old town rustic scenery
Now if you are planning a trip to Southern California, and would like to make a stop at good 'ol PB,
Here are some places you should DEFINITELY check out.
 Moondoggies
Yummy food, good pours, live bands/Dj's, indoor AND outdoor seating, and GREAT prices.
This quiet little bar will also quickly turn into a hoppin' night club on the weekends.
Kabuki Sushi
If you like sushi, this place is cheap and delish.
(right across the street from Moondoggies)
And the Lahaina Beach House
This place has been here for years. You can go inside, order a burger, fries, and a pitcher of beer, and then sit on the patio that is just feet from the ocean blue. 
Great drinks, good prices, and an AMAZING view.
I remember my parents coming here when I was a youngin'. Defiantly a great place to hang out, BUT cash only so be prepared.  

Another great place to go in PB (that I do not have a picture of) is Miller Field. 
This place has tasty food, good prices and a nice bar.

Now....where NOT to go.
Awful food, service and prices. 
Don't even waste your time.
(this is really the only place I have had an awful experience at)

The rules in PB are similar to rules at most all the San Diego beaches
And although the parking can be a little rough at times, 
it is totally worth it. 
Because in MY OPINION there is no better place to put your toes in the sand and just relax.....
