Here To There

For Sam’s birthday we went deep sea fishing on the Butchie B out of Fisherman’s Wharf. Michael, Shannon, James, Karen, Lisa, Matt and some Danes came along too. We had beautiful weather with sunny skies and calm seas. Despite the calm seas the trip didn’t agree with most of the sailors and we had quite a few incidents of chumming overboard. Lisa caught a 25 pound salmon, which was almost as big as she was! None of the rest of us caught anything, so we went to Blowfish that night for dinner.

For the 4th of July Michael, Shannon, Sam and I took a road trip down to Kenall’s new condo in Huntington Beach. We drove down in Shannon’s brand new convertible. Sweet! We took the I-5 route on the way there, which was VERY hot. We decided to take 101 on the way home, which turned out not to take much longer than I-5, but it was much more pleasant.

It was a quick trip. We got there on Saturday afternoon and spent some time on the beach and having margaritas. The next day was craziness—remember never to go to sushi dinner when you’re already drunk and especially after you’ve been drinking non-stop all day! Yikes! I think we were all sick for the next 3 days. Ahh…nothing like a college-esque road trip.
