So Cal

Last weekend I was able to go to Southern California for a Supercross race at Angels Stadium in Anaheim and for a little R and R. I flew into LAX on Friday morning, we picked up our Sick 02 Seibring, equipped with a rag top and these super limited 15's. (that photo is for you travee) We popped the top and headed where else but straight to the beach. My friend A-bag has a sister that lives with her Husband John in Balboa. We drove there and met him and Jon on Balboa Island. It is such a sweet place, you have to take a short ferry ride over to the island. It is such a chill, slow paced atmosphere there. We grabbed a few bikes from Jon's office and Myself, A-bag and Lisa were off for a nice relaxing ride on the boardwalk. 70 and sunny, it was a great time.

After that we went to dinner at a nice restaurant in Laguna Beach call Las Brisas. The food was good and we just caught the sunset. After that we went to see I Am Legend at a mall. Check the preview out here. I had seen it before but I really liked it so I didn't mind seeing it again. Walking through the mall I spotted a jewelery Kiosk and this is what they had on one full side. Grills! So funny the junk they have in So Cal. (For those of you who are asking themselves why I didn't post a picture of a nice Coleman Patio grill is because grills are gold or diamond fake teeth, rappers and others think they are cool by having a shiny "grill") Yeah! What!



We stayed at a couples home that Lisa knows. Dwight and Mel. They have 4 great kids, and 2 of the kids are a set of twins. They were very kind by letting us stay there. Great people no doubt. Saturday we headed to the stadium around 1 and watched practice, walked through the pits and people watched. The racing was pretty good and we had a great time. Although James Stewart the fastest guy on 2 wheels pulled off the track in practice and this is what followed. Click Here and then click on the Stewart Video.

Sunday we went to a singles ward in Newport Beach. The chapel is right next to the temple. It seemed like a great ward and we had a good time at the service. I overheard someone talking about the "linger Longer" after church. (A linger longer is a meal after church where the members can well, linger longer. At my wards in Sandy and here in Portland we always had a pretty good one. Salads, desserts, a beverage and always a main dish. So anyone would automatically think Oh it's Newport Beach they have got to have Caviar, lobster tail and possibly fillet Mignon upon request. So we walk in the gym after the services and out of the corner of my eye like a great Aztec pyramid were about 50 cup O noodles stacked up on a plastic table like a poorly constructed card castle . I just had to laugh.......

Newport Beach Temple (They had to throw a pinkish dye in the mix for the exterior as per mandate by the city, looks a little different from the outside by all the same inside)

On the way to the airport we stopped off to the fashion district and hit up Santee Alley. It's a outdoor market place so it was cool. I picked up a cool looking suitcase and a tie, not bad for 30 bucks. We also had to make a pit stop that you always need to make while visiting So Cal, In N Out. It's a burger joint that makes a lot of their stuff fresh, literally. They cut the real potatoes right in front of you. Yum.
