Dodge Challenger, Assault Rifles, & The Grand Canyon. Vegas 2010 Round II

Fun in the desert.

No comment on the Grand Canyon, that damn hole is so fricken big you can’t focus on anything. It’s insane.

Vegas 2010

Flew directly from Costa Rica into Las Vegas for Grandma’s 79th birthday! Staying at the Palms, and at this point my new favorite spot in Vegas. So the strip recently opened their brand new “City Center” project which is INSANE. Originally estimated at $4 Billion, Dubai partner in and loaned the project an additional $8 [...]

Brosta Rica – Round II – Pacific Coast Surf Trip

Once again, blown away in a third world country. Evan & I visited CR last year and decided to go back. This year my brother Matt happened to be studying down there for 4 months. We rented an SUV, started in a small surf town on the southern Pacific coast, and each day worked our [...]

Bro Montana

Family reunion in Montana. Literally hours from Yellowstone, I had to go there. I can’t even explain this place and what I experienced. Seriously. Done.

Not Joel, Ostrich Farm now in the Family!

For all of you BMX/Skate/Gymnastic Woodward Westers out there, remember Joel from the Ostrich Ranch down the road from camp? Joel is my new favorite uncle ;)

Gosh you’re getting big Joel ;)

Nautica

Yes Matthew & I are San Francisco’s hottest Nautica male models ;)

There’s a heart
A hand to hold onto

QBP Benny

QBP is more supportive to bringing your dog to work than your company will ever be… Benny lays where he wants, on the keyboard, mouse, in front of my monitor.. Speaking of monitor, 30″!! Benny, meet Sasquatch…

Gosh he loves the warehouse ;)

Yosemite National Park

Ashley & I checked out Yosemite for the first time.. I don’t believe I’ve ever really been to any of the large national parks. Seriously blown away..

Rome, Italy

Our last stop of the tour, Rome. Pretty much the longest standing city in the world. Rome is definitely something to see. The Coliseum, the ancient Roman Empire ruins, the Vatican (which is technically it’s own separate country). It is incredible to see all of this stuff, and how old it has been around for. [...]

Pisa, Italy

You wouldn’t think that the leaning tower is really leaning that much, but holy god… You would not believe the size of that thing when you get there, about 200′ tall and is it ever leaning! The top is 14′ over from where it should be. It is huge. We also went to an Italian [...]

Gypsies & Africans

Everywhere. Literally, everywhere. Especially the African guys, who try to sell you imitation Gucci sunglasses, Rolex watches, etc. So Matt sees a pair of sunglasses he kinda likes…
Matt: “So how much?”
African: “$50″
Matt: “Oh, well I only have $15″ as he slowly starts to walk away
African: “$30″
Matt: “I only have $15″ Matt says
African: “$20″
Matt: “All I [...]

Venice, Italy

What a whole different world. Venice has turned into strictly an island for tourists. Few people actually live on the island. No cars are allowed on the island, and you have to get their by boat. The small roads/alleys go on in a forever maze, making it quite easy to get lost. Some of the [...]

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Monaco. The richest area in the world. That explains it all when you arrive into Monte Carlo. Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s, Bentley’s, Aston Martin’s, Maserati’s, etc. Pretty much everywhere you look. And they race these things in sport car rallys along the coast up high in the mountains! Its incredible.. Then the huge boat marina has ridiculous [...]

Nice, France

Nice is the big tourist area in France. Beautiful beaches… They also happened to have an Ironman event take place the weekend we were here. Over 1,700 men dove into the sea and took off swimming for miles at 6:30 on Sunday morning. They had thousands of very nice expensive road bikes lined up for [...]

Paris, France.

From London we took the Eurorail under the English Chunnel (the tunnel under the English Channel) info France. The Eurorail is nuts, they can get near 400mph. We arrived in Paris, got off the train, and ran right into a group of gypsies just waiting to gyp us. Literally. Definitely something you do not see [...]

London, England

The start of our tour took place in England. Our family met up with about 32 other tourists at a beautiful hotel in London. I have never been over seas before, but let me tell you about something… Jetlag. You wouldn’t think that it would be that bad. Holy cow. I couldn’t believe it. 6hrs [...]

The Gold Man & Aunt Polly

The Gold Man has been around for many years. He is a man, he is gold. He has been one of the best features of our household in the most recent years. Recently, Aunt Polly decided to come along and meet the Gold Man. They certainly hit it off together, check out the images from [...]

Happy Holidays from Benny

Red, White, & Crue

Red, White, & Crue concert baby!!!

Mailbox Shot

Yes this is me, first time on a bike. I didn’t want training wheels, which I balanced fine without them, but my steering wasn’t too great. 1989.
