Little Mike ... AKA Cousin Mike ... AKA Smitty

We love family! Needless to say, we were super duper excited to welcome our Cousin Mike to sunny, beachy, southern California - where its possible to spend the morning snowboarding at Bear Mountain before heading back for beachside cocktails at sunset (Next time Mike! We're doing it!) - where it's possible to attend ball games at any of three MLB parks on any given day - where delicious Mexican burritos are simultaneously authentic AND sanitary (most of the time) - where you're equally likely to enjoy a balmy summer day in August, December, or February - where 70 degree is considered cold and worthy of breaking out a North Face jacket (worn with rainbow sandals on your feet, of course).

Wanting to show Mike a good time, we helped him experience as many southern Californian joys as possible, beginning with burrito after burrito, a night out at Laguna (refer to below birthday post), two ball games at Petco Park and Angels Stadium, beaches galore, tour of Oakley HQ and peddle kayaking in Newport Harbor. As a result, I am now about 8.5 shades darker than I was five days ago, a huge fan of the 5 for $5 deal at Petco, and an even huger fan of Cousin Mike! Come back soon cousin! You are always welcome here!

  1. Petco has a 5 for $5 deal??? I miss Cowboy and Ninja SOOOO much :( ...

    The other day I walked into a Petco to buy a Kong for Pierre's dog in France and I almost burst into tears as soon as I walked in and got a whiff of that wet-dog-smell-mixed-in- with-baked-doggie-treats that only a pet store would have.

    Sad. So so sad.
