Take a trip to Hawaii

23-29 Sept 12, took a trip to Hawaii and stayed at Waikiki in Honolulu on Oahu.  Prior to this we (Rene' and I) went to Las Vegas and see a few shows and clubs with one of her friends from Europe.  During the Hawaii leg we stayed on the beach and took in two luaus (one at the hotel and one on the SW side).  We took a tour visiting Pearl Harbor seeing the Mighty MO (Battleship Missouri), Arizona Memorial, and some other sites on the way back.  We walked to Moana Falls which has a "Hollywood" history and finally, we walked the trail of/to Diamond Head and took a tour snorkeling and Sub-Scootering seeing numerous types of colorful fish and sea turtles.

Go Paintballing

5 Aug 12, went paintballing with some friends for my first time. There were lots of shooters per teams and many matches. This is the result of hours of fun. Yes, we won some and lost some.

Take a Road trip

25-28 May 2012, took a road trip with my friend down Hwy 101 to Tillamook, OR., Lincoln City, OR., Depoe Bay, OR., and Newport, OR.  We traveled the West Coast in my new convertible stopping, sightseeing, and staying the nights.  In Tillamook we visited the Tillamook Cheese Factory learning a bit and sampling the cheese.  Next we traveled to Lincoln City and ate at Dory's Cove and Mo's, went shopping at a true outlet, and seen a new movie in an old theatre (Bijou).  In Newport we went to the Undersea Gardens and seen many sea creatures and watched a feeding and quick lesson show then stopped by the north lighthouse for a look before heading back to Depoe Bay.  Lastly, in Depoe Bay we stayed for the Memorial Day "Fleet of Flowers" where they had a ceremony and the Coast Guard as well as many other private boats went out about 1/4 - 1/2 a mile out in a circular formation and placed flowers in the water "mourning the death of loved ones; especially those who lost their lives at sea, or who were buried at sea.

Seen A Play

28 April 2012, went to a local play with a friend, it was pretty cool and humorous.  Something I'll probably do again, get out and do the same.
