Update

Quick update with photos for everyone.

We are officially in the home stretch for the school year, now that spring break is over the countdown to the end begins. Personally, I cant wait.

Nothing extremely exciting going on at the homefront except a little bit of travel. Over last weekend we took a mini-vacation with our friends Kayla and Santi to California.
Liz and Kayla had been planning this as a suprise for us guys since just after Christmas, and if you know Liz, that is quite a feat for her to keep it under wraps for that long. I was kept in the dark about everything except the date until just days before we left.

The main purpose of the trip was to catch a soccer game in LA, the LA Galaxy against San Jose.
This was the home opener for the Galaxy and a real treat for me to see players like David Beckham and Landon Donovan in action. We ended up with great seats to catch the action.

Here is a wide view of the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Home of the Galaxy

The final score, Beckham and Landon Donovan scored in the 1st half right in front of our seats it was pretty awesome.

The rest of the time there was for some R&R, and just exploring. We visited where LA all started as well as Chinatown and also spent time exploring old town Pasadena, where we stayed.



All in all, a very nice time. We did this as a bit of an early anniversary get away and realized that it was our first non family visiting vacation since our honeymoon....
Note to self, do more travel with just the two of us..
