Bonjour, mamma.

Between weekend trips to Pasadena for some UCLA football, an awesome trip to Yosemite national park, and heading up north for some baseball games and red salmon curry in San Francisco, these two Vegas kids sure do get around.   Next month it's a cruise to Mexico with my entire family.  Michael is sharing a room with my dad.  He really, really does love me.  Ready to kick off this holiday season with salt water in my hair and super sore feet.  #nevergonnastop

I had a blast of a weekend.  I went to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to see the Bruins play with Mike and his family.  We went to Philippe's for more french dipped sandwiches and toured the new Pauley Pavilion on UCLA's campus.  To top it all off, we spent Monday at Knott's Berry Farm, the world's first theme park.  Here are two photos of Mike and I; one with a filter and one without.  I am not sure how I like filters anymore, so I will just post both of them.  Oh and by the way, although  this photo may appear to be one, Mike used his photoshop skills to merge them.  Magic!

This is a classic meal @ Fillippe's French Dipped Sandwich Shop.  Potato salad, macaroni salad, french-dipped beef sandwich with TWO cheeses; American and Swiss. I always put way too much spicy mustard on my sandwich and end up making painfully awkward facial expressions throughout the meal.  Mike is always telling me to put less on but I cannot resist.   Tailgating UCLA v. Nebraska Such a humid, hot day in Pasadena... you can see my "sweat 6-pack" in this photo.  We had a great time that w...
