Back Home......

Well after 2 weeks in Kauai we are now back and staring reality right in the face. Hard as it is to leave the island it is good to be home. We had an incredible time both weeks that we were there. the 1st week we were there with my parents and then Jens family met us there for the second week. We did tons of stuff while we were there, kayaking, snorkeling, took a cruise to see the Na Pali coast and tons of other stuff. I was shooting all the time while i was there so i got tons of photos, i did post some already while i was there. The internet connection there was so bad thought that it took forever to get the pictures up so i stopped after like 2 posts. So now im playing catch up and updating everthing, so keep an eye on the other blog for some new stuff. For now heres some photos of our family on vacation. Enjoy.

So the vacation begins...

Yes after many many many many months of waiting for this day it has FINALLY arrived.We are now in Kauai and are here for 2 weeks...........i know i know its a hard life bt some one has to live it. We are here with Bill and Anne aka mom and dad and with their friends Jack and his lovely wife Sam. Mom and Sam have already been here for a week playing with their some of their friends......and apperantly stealing papayas. Anywho Moms sister Laura aka Aunt Laura, and her daugther Christy were here as well. After a long flight here screwed up flight schedules, thank you oh so much Aloha Airlines, and waiting forever to get our luggage we were all set to go. Got some yummy food with all the fam, Christy watched the Padres vs Dodgers game, desperately hoping the Dodgers would win. After that Laura and Christy had to fly back home and so we dopped them off at the airport......what a sad moment. We came back to the hotel and i went shooting for a bit, and now im going to bed. So there you have it, youre all caught up on the vacation so far.....tomorrow uh today will be busy im sure. Aloha.

Oh and Aunt Laura.........i hope you had a SUPER flight.....you know what i mean. hahahahahahaha.

Photobooth craziness......

So i just bought a new 17 inch MacBook Pro ad all i have to say is that it is seriousky AMAZING!!!! One of the things that i absolutely love about Apple is that they add these fun little things to their machines that anyone can enjoy. Photobooth is one of those wonderful program, and one of the 1st things that i did as soon as i took the machine out of the box was to open photobooth and shoot some pictures. So here they are......in all of their crazy glory. Enjoy!!

Photographer down!!!

As you may know by now, the last day that we were in San Jose we went to visit the Japanese Friendship Garden. If you have no idea what im talking about then read my other blog to get up to date. Anywho, Jen and I were walking around taking photos at this garden and overall silly photos of each other. When it was time to leave for the airport we packed up and started to head out and then it happened.....some how Jens foot came off the path and she twisted her ankle and fell. She totally tumbled, and i cold tell that it was pretty painful cus she just sat there holding her ankle. i felt so bad for her, luckily she didn't break bones and wasn't seriously hurt. She did sprain her ankle pretty bad though and has been on crutches for a week now. This was a God thing though, before we packed up she asked me if she should pack her gear or keep it out to keep shooting. If you know me at all then you probably know that i rarely put away my gear, but i told her to pack it up. Thats the only reason why she still has a camera right now, so thank you Lord. So there you go, thats the story. Heres some silly photos of us. Enjoy!!







Awwwwwww!!! Shes so cute when shes pouty.....


Oh and i hear rumors of a possible Jennifer Menendez blog? Hmmmmmmmm fun times are sure to come....

Menendi in the North....

We were in Northern California once again, Jen had to be up in San Jose for some traning for her work and so i flew up there to spen some time together. The 1st full day we had we decided to drive up to San Francisco and do some sight seeing, whiel the experience of driving through San Francisco was unbeliavably stressful we still had a ton of fun together once we got to the Golden Gate Bridge. We spent some time there taking some pictures, hunger soon overtook us though and so we headed further north to the little town of Sausalito. The town was pretty cool, but we didnt do any real sight seeing as we were there for food. So we got some grub and went to a little ice cream shop called Lapperts Ice Cream. They are a coffe company out of Hawaii and my dad loves to get their cofee whenever he visits the island. Anywho, Jen and i had a great time and had a great ice cream shake......mmmmmm. Heres some photos.
