The man who coined the phrase, "soft voice Dan" was in town on business and we were able to spend the evening with him and his buddy Jeremy. We didn't have much time to see the sights but the ones we saw were memorable. We picked Lane up from his posh downtown Marriott hotel and headed for the temple.
It was Monday so the temple was closed. We couldn't even get on the grounds so we gazed at it from the top of a nearby parking structure. So special. After the temple we headed up to La Jolla to see the beach and seals. After taking in the seaside, we went to the best Mexican restarant ever Casa de Pico where Lane decided to order a salad. At a mexican restaraunt. With plenty of meat on the menu. We couldn't mock him too much because Lane and Jeremy treated us to dinner! Mahalo Guys! The visit was short but sweet and missing one thing: ERIN!!! We can't wait to see the Forsloff's again with keiki in tow!
Fatal Shark attack this morning at our local beach. Believed to be a 17 foot great white. An 8 mile stretch of beach (including the 2 beaches that are 5 minutes from our apt) is closed until monday. If you want more details go here.
Yesterday, my brother, Luke & I were at the beach one block away from where the attack happened. Luckily Luke is scared of the ocean water so we were on dry land the entire time. (How cute is he in this little Lifeguard outfit? Click on the picture and die from the cuteness) Interesting thing is, there was a helicopter flying about 20 feet above the water right over the breakers for the entire two hours we were there just making passes. Also a small spotter plane was doing the same thing only a little further out. Jeff & I thought the helicopter was looking for a shark. Then we started making jokes about cable junction and jaws. Looks like we were spot on. I think it's a big cover up. I think they were searching for a shark and that they knew a white was in the area but didn't want to panic the public. One week ago a baby white shark was found washed up on shore in that area. Then a helicpoter and a plane patrolling in the same area the day before a fatal shark attack. Coincidence? Hmmmmm. I think not.
