Surfing Sunshine...

This weather has been awesome! It makes me wanna jump into a 1987 Jeep Wagoneer and strap my surfboard on top. Then drive to Laguna beach, catch some waves and rays.

Sadly, I do not have a surfboard or a Jeep Wagoneer. I do however enjoy the surf scene of the 1950’s and 1960’s. It seemed like a simpler time of hanging out with your buddies and chilling on the beach. There are so many vintage movies from that time period ,that get you into the spirit of the surfer nostalgia of Hawaii and California. Nothing beats having a fire on the beach and watching the sunset, while listening to music. Man, where is that time machine when you need it.

I have checked out Cali and loved it, but never been to Hawaii. It seems like it’s a very laid back style as well. Not going to lie, that may be my next vacation spot to check out. Hit up the beaches, check out the food, Mai Tais and just chill all day. Maybe I’ll love it so much I’ll never leave. I can surf all day and eat all night. (Spam is good in Hawaii, or so I heard.)

I may not get to Hawaii for awhile, but in the meantime , I can bring that style of summer living here. The summer in Buffalo comes and goes so quickly, maybe we should all just chill, enjoy the sunshine and not be in a rush to get to the wintertime.

Aloha brotatos,

P.S anyone have any hawaiian shirts they wanna donate to me?????

Heading West...

I’m prickly.

Heading out west is the best. If you ever want to get lost in a foreign place, go to the desert in California. Or even in the coastal towns on the Pacific. As a kid, I always wanted to go out west, so my Dad took myself and my older brother out to California. Such an awesome road trip where I got crushed beneath the giant crashing waves.

A few years later, we all road-tripped as a family and hit up California again. We got to see the stars on the walk of fame in Hollywood and put our hands in the imprints of the famous people who came before us. It was all so fun and memorable.

Last year, when my wife was 6 months pregnant, we went to San Diego and then checked out the classic Hollywood feel of Palm Springs. We did a few day hikes in Joshua Tree Park, and it felt great to wander around and get lost.

Time and time again, something keeps bringing me back to the West Coast. There is so much to do out there and explore. I don’t think I will ever move out there, but to be able to get lost in such a different world is amazing. I have a fond appreciation to the chill vibes out there and the numerous National parks to keep me occupied. If you haven’t gone out west yet, definitely give it a try. If you want a travel partner, let me know. I want to go back again soon.

Cheers,

P.S. Wander and get lost anywhere you go. It is fun to just be someplace without an agenda.
