Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In lieu of St Patty's Day the wifey, Robert, sister in law and I decided to celebrate with an Irish carb bomb! For those who don't know what it is, it's basically Guinness and a shot of Irish Bailey then chug away!!

So it wasn't the typical green beer but I think it did it's deed!!!

Labor Day Weekend at the Beach

That time has come to enjoy some fun in the sun, fresh air from the breeze, the sound of the waves hitting the sandy shore and company of great friends and family. A day at Huntington Beach awaited us as we arrived early to avoid the traffic and hassles of parking. The absentminded person I am, I forgot to bring cash so I came to a decision to park at the closest available "free" spot. To view the entire album, Click Here.
