Coronado Adventure....

So after Casie graduated we went back home and headed for Coronado Island. We had originally planned on renting some tandem bikes and riding around Coronado......but the weather was poopy and we were all tired. So we went and walked around at the Hotel Del.........consequently i have a problem with that name. IT IS THE DUMBEST NAME EVER!!!!! Why? Well im sooooo glad you asked, the entire name is Hotel Del Coronado which means Hotel of the Crown. Now originally i had thought the they spelled it Hotel Dell and that it was some guys name or something but then i go there and see that no its not Dell its Del and the only reason is because people are to lazy to say the whole name. So why all the fuss? Well im glad you asked, basically Del is just the middle of the whole phrase. Remember? Hotel OF THE Crown? Yeah people call it Hotel OF THE...........OF THE WHAT?!?! WHAT IN THE FLIPPIN HECK IS HOTEL OF THE?!?!?! Ok ive vented, so we walked around the beach and then someone gets the bright idea that we should all take a jumping picture. SWEET!!! Only one problem.....all four of us wanted to be in it, well not problem i have a super duper futuristic type camera and it has a self timer.....problem solved. Ummmm no because trying to figure out when the shutter is actually going to trip is about the most impossible thing to try and figure out! So we tried and tried and tried while countless Japanese stared and made fun of us because we looked so goofy jumping in the air trying to get the picture. We finally got it though and it is AMAZING!!! After that we walked around some more and went to get some yummy food, i decided to take the flash off of my camera and use it wireless. My brother in law William (who by the way rivals even me in tech geekiness) was fascinated by the fact that you could put the flash anywhere and actually have it work. This produced cheap entertainment and we started taking pictures putting the flash in all places we could thing of. After food we got some sweet ice cream at Mootime Creamery........and then we all went home. The day was a blast!!!! We had some much fun just chillin, heres some photos for you.

Casie knows english.....

Saturday was a sweet day, well except for the fact that i had to wake up at 6:30 am.....that was no bueno. Other than that the day was super cool. Casie (my brother in laws wife) graduated from Biola University as an English major. Yep Biola gave Casie a piece of paper that says she can now speak, read and possibly write English.......hahahahahaha. No, it was awesome and it is quite an accomplishment, i believe that she is the 1st one in her family to graduate from college. While it was very exciting to see her get her diploma i will say that i hope i NEVER again go to another Christian school graduation ever again. While my wifes graduation was long because there were about a bazillion people graduating ( no joke that was the exact number) Biola's graduation was long because there was long ceremony crap. It was like "hi im old and i will open the ceremony with a LONG prayer about the perverse times we live" "now heres another old person telling you how great Biola is" and then some guy doing some song, the band played, the president spoke and then we get to the speaker who went one FOREVER!!! The whole time the main speaker was going on i was doing 2 things 1)trying not to pass out and 2) watching the last remnants of that oh so wonderful marine layer burn off giving way to the hot and blistering sun.......he didnt finish before the sun came out. After what seemed like 3 years of being there we finally got through the rest of the ceremony and got to Casie getting her diploma, it was great. We cheered, yelled, jumped up and down, cried, doves flew.........ok ok ok we cheered. After all that we went to downtown Disney got some lunch, drove back home in heavy traffic stopped at Starbucks and then went down to Coronado.....and thats a whole noher blog. Heres some photos.

















We are VERY proud of you Casie...
