Hawaii 2010 Day 1

OK so we landed in Honolulu, Hawaii Saturday night and checked into the hotel. There was an issue with our room and we would not settle into our correct room until the next day. Other than the little hiccup in the beginning, the whole vacation was a blast and much needed. I realize that I took over 1000 pics so what I decided to do is separate the pics into the days that we were in Hawaii. So this is Day 1 where we spent most of the day driving along the east coast of Oahu and enjoying the scenic locations. We did settle into a beach location at Sandy Beach where the waves were breaking hard and fast. So check out the pics of our Hawaii Day 1.

San Diego Zoo

We spent the day at the San Diego Zoo and the girls had to visit the panda exhibit. We also ran into a peacock and it open its beautiful feathers to us. In Chinese the peacock is the phoenix and a person receives good luck when it reveals its beautiful feathers. So the family that day was pretty lucky to see it happen. Check out the photos.

Chargers Playoff Pictures

It a sad day in Charger's History as today 02/22/2010, LT is no longer a Chargers. I hope that if we ever win a Super Bowl in the next couple of years that they give LT an honorary ring for his contribution to the resurrection of the team in the last 9 years. These pictures are from the playoffs that ended our journey to the Super Bowl this year.

Alyssa turns 2!!!

Here are some pictures of Alyssa's 2nd Birthday on January 3rd. Time sure flies and what people say about the "terrible twos" are false, it starts at a little over one years old. By 2, you kind of give up already. Alyssa is such a character and she will definitely tell you want she likes and takes want she wants. Hint, hint, she did not get it from her dad. It was a great time again as always and we appreciate all the friends and family that were there to share it with us.

Lake Tahoe for Xmas 2009

Once again we headed to Lake Tahoe for Christmas. This is 2 years in a row now that we have gone up there for Christmas. At least this time the conditions were much better. I snowboarded for the 1st time and ate a lot of snow and my ars was in pain by the end of the trip. The kids enjoyed the snow but freaked out when I took them in the gondola up to the top of Heavenly. Overall the trip was a great experience.
