Camping on the Beach

Over our last Memorial Day weekend as a family of two, we decided to go camping with friends up north of Santa Barbara on Jalama Beach.  We had an AMAZING campsite on a front beach location, with great views of the sunset and just steps away from the water.  The positive part of beach camping is that there aren’t many bugs.  The negative part is that it gets VERY chilly in the evenings and at the location we picked, it was also very windy.  So windy in fact, that throughout the night, it felt like our tent was going to collapse and suffocate us.  (Not a very pleasant or reassuring feeling.)  Other than a bad night’s rest due to the strong winds, the trip was very relaxing.  (We even got some color while walking along the beach during the day!)

You can’t beat camping on the beach even if the winds almost blew us away!

Baby Vo Can Dance

On May 25th, our friends’ band, Uncle Daddy, had its album release party at the Troubador in West Hollywood.  We tried to stand away from the speakers, but the show was pretty loud.  There were a couple songs that had strong drumbeats at the beginning and Baby Vo actually kicked when the drums began to beat.  At first, I thought it was my imagination, but then she did it for multiple songs.  Does she have rhythm?  I hope so!

On a sidenote, the bouncer at the Troubador was so nice.  He gave me a special pass to sit upstairs in the VIP section so that I could see the show without having to stand the whole time.  Unfortunately, he could only give passes to me and Steve, not to our friends, so we ended up standing by the stage for the show.  Steve loved it…I don’t think he would have wanted to watch the show from upstairs anyhow.
