Santa Barbara

Two buddies of mine from medschool and I drove up to Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara is a high roller town where celeberties frequent. I'm pretty sure we almost saw Denzel at Vons Grocery) to hang out with some women we didn't know for two days. I was like, "alright, I guess I'll go hang out with babes for a while." We had a lot fun on the quick trip. When we got there we ate at the California Pizza Kitchen and then went down to the beach for a bonfire. We had no wood, but us three manscouts gathered scraps of wood and before long we had a six-foot flame that was uncomfortably hot.

The next day we played some highly competitive volleyball on the beach. One game two girls took on us three guys and they nearly beat us!! We didn't have a rematch. We also played in the waves and I, of course, got sunburned again.

I thought this was a bad idea, but succumbed to peer pressure.

She's holding all 250 lbs of my dead weight. She must work out.

You won't believe it but we saw Maverick and Goose playing Iceman and that other guy. The score was like 39,877 to 39,878. Apparently neither side has won by two yet. Man those guys are competitive, Mav still looked pretty good in those jeans though. You'd think damp, sandy, tight jeans would chafe if you played volleyball.

They also showed us the campus of Westmont College. Nice campus! I thought I was at some kind of Health spa or something.


Finally we dropped Jon off at the Staples Center in LA so that he could go to a Tim McGraw/Faith Hill Soul2Soul tour II concert! He had box seats and everything! I don't think he even knows who they are!!! Life is not fair. Anyway we got a pic in front of the magnificent Magic Johnson statue, which was cool.

So that was pretty much it.
