Mike and his mom

Mike's mom was here over the weekend, she has a conference in the LA area this week. They spent Saturday having breakfast at our favorite place, The Cottage, and walking around the La Jolla shoreline. Mike's grandmother snapped this great photo of them.

Lake Tahoe Ski Trip

We spent Presidents' Day weekend skiing in Lake Tahoe. We stayed at one of our friend's place and skied at Kirkwood on Saturday and Heavenly on Sunday. It was very warm both days, in the 50s. By Sunday afternoon, we were all pretty exhausted. It was a great weekend hanging out with family (Sam) and friends (Troy, Tejada, and Melissa).

Tejada brought a few fun games to play. Here Sam, Melissa, Tejada, and Mike are playing Blokus. The other game in the corner is Quixo. We also had Jenga and Connect Four.

The views from Heavenly were the best, especially of Lake Tahoe.

Our Annual George Strait Vegas Trip

Those that know me well, know that I am a HUGE George Strait fan. So serious that I am a member of his fan club, I have every CD ever recorded (which is over 30 if anyone was wondering) and I go to see him in concert once (sometimes twice) a year. Being a member of the fan club pays off by allowing me to get tickets a day before the public. So, we usually are within the first few rows off the floor.

George Strait started playing in Vegas on Superbowl Weekend a few years ago. We usually go every year, but last year we decided to skip Vegas and go to Stagecoach to see him. I decided this year that I really enjoy the tradition of going to Vegas on Superbowl Weekend to see George.

This year his new-comer opener was Sarah Johns, never heard of her, but she was ok. His next opener was Josh Turner, I love his deep voice! It was, as usual, a great show and I can't WAIT until next year!


Josh Turner

George!

This year our seats were pretty close to where the performers enter and leave the stage.
