mini road trip!

the other weekend, nick and i went on a mini road trip to his "hometown" (he would say otherwise) of santa maria, california. for the unfamiliar, it's in santa barbara county. it's kind of a little-big city that i wouldn't have ever visited otherwise. all in all, i had a fun and interesting weekend. my car even broke down in the rain, making our little jaunt a bonafide road trip.

i had to get a new starter for my babyhonda. it was like two hundred bones (for everything). i swear, i'm going to buy AAA membership. nick has it, and it was a lifesaver! but enough talk of cars and money!


of course, i brought my melodica

the santa maria inn. which is, apparently, haunted. i wanted to look for ghosts, but i was dead tired that night!

CALIFORNIA SUN

we dropped in on a neighbor's filipino family party. the patriarch of the house had a little man cave around the back complete with booze, decorative booze related plaques, a vinyl collection, karaoke, and other essentials. he was a sot of cross-eyed, eccentric old man with a crazy laugh and an even crazier, indescribable singing voice. that isn't him up there, though. ^ that would be nick breakin it down. his father also made videos of us singing together. i hope they never see the light of the internet.



we made an impromptu stop in san luis obispo so i could see cal poly where nick used to do the college thing. we had dinner at a cajun place he used to like, and it was delicious! coincidentally, the saints won the superbowl.


i guess i didn't take enough pictures! boo! but can you tell how much fun i had by the number of exclamation points in this post?
