Thanksgiving Travels

Laetitia and I did quite a bit of traveling this past weekend. We got up at 5am on Thursday to start our drive up the 5 to Paso Robles... +/- 5 hours later we were happy to see my family and their friends. Dinner was good, and had some pleasant surprises, like Shane's family macaroni and cheese recipe (we got down on more of that later). Friday, we rested, visited, and in the evening, Laetitia and I went to San Luis Obispo for some dancing at the Madonna Inn - that took us down memory lane, since we used to go there back in the day with the UCSB group, and for me, even earlier, with the Ota's cotillion group. All the while, we snapped pictures with our new camera (sold the old one on ebay). I've posted pictures at my Google/Picasa share. On Saturday, we visited a little more, but then had to head off to LA so we could check in to the LAX Radisson and get ready to compete at the California Star Ball. When we got into our room, we had the pleasure of catching a man with his pants down! Laetitia went downstairs and gave the clerk and ear full, then we got to a new room with no hot water - what a way to start! Anyway, despite all that, we got 2nd in the pro smooth championship and got a decent night's sleep before heading out to Disneyland the next day. I think those pictures speak for themselves, but it was great to have short lines and to FINALLY see the new Pirates of the Caribbean. Now, it's nice to be back home!
