charlie at huntington beach.

We took Charlie to Huntington Beach this morning with our friend Richard, his 8-mo old baby Tyler and their dog Colby. Charlie had so much fun and finally started to learn how to swim in the big waves. He definitely ate saltwater a few times though. Needless to say, he started napping as soon as [ READ MORE ]

izakaya bincho.

So Evelyn was in town and we wanted to deviate from our traditional Sanuki No Sato standard (well… we went there on Friday) and try a new place! How adventurous. And adventurous it was. After reading numerous good reviews, we headed to the Redondo Beach Pier to Izakaya Bincho. The place was tiny, no signs… [ READ MORE ]

wrapsol.

Once in a lifetime experience worth every penny. The dogs were wonderful… smaller than you’d think… but some of the friendliest most energetic guys you’ve [ READ MORE ]

ipad and dodocase.

I said I wasn’t. But I couldn’t resist. I got an iPad. And I love it! I justified getting the iPad since I read SO many PDF’s for work. I sold my Sony eReader. My main concern of eye strain on a non e-ink screen hasn’t really hit and it’s quite comfortable to read on. [ READ MORE ]

beacon beach day.

Beacon finally got all his shots so Nicki and I took her to the beach in Palos Verdes for her first seaside romp. I think she had a great time! You be the judge. See the rest of the pictures here[ READ MORE ]
