2011 Auction

The Auction this year was fabulous! It was at a different house than it was at last year, but it was still pretty cool. We got our own table, great food from local restaurants, and funny entertainment from our MC, Drew Shirley. Here are some pictures:

I did not take many pictures at the acoustic show they played. I'll take tons tomorrow at the fair! We are looking forward to seeing the guys play some new songs and eating fried foods all day!

Huntington and Newport Beach

Well, today started with a wonderful strawberry/granola waffle at our favorite restaurant, Swamis. Then it was off to Huntington Beach. Here are some pictures:

...then we went to Newport. By far the prettiest place to take pictures in California!

After taking tons of pictures and doing tons of shopping we went back to the hotel to get ready for the Auction....

Favorite Bro-Am picture from this past year...

Auction Soriee

Last night was the second day of the Bro-am events. It was taken place at a house in La Jolla. The owner of this house owns the padres and is the founder of qualcom...there are no words for this house. Heres a few pictures:

After the silent auction, Drew 'MCed' the loud auction...and he was fantastic at it. I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life...here's a few quotes I dont think I will forget:

"You could be a King AND/OR Queen!"

"You get the surf board and a years supply of vitiamin water...You could go surfing IN the vitiamin water!"

"Hurley Boardshorts! They are water repellet!!"

"Opportunity drawing, where everyone has an opportunity!"

For people reading who weren't there, this might not be funny, for those who were; you probably thought they were.

"Welcome to a world at war. Welcome to a world I don't even know anymore. Welcome to the fallout."

Today was the first of the three Bro-am events. Switchfoot preformed at the San Diego (Del Mar) fair. The fair in San Diego is one of the most surreal things. I mean everything you can think of is there! You can buy cars, insurance, a new mattress, etc. The food is the same. You can have just about anything fried or covered in chocolate. It's crazy!

Fried Chocolate covered oreos!

After we enjoyed our freshly sliced potato chips and our fried oreos we went to our seats on the Del Mar Track for the show. We talked with the guys' manager, Ike. We love Ike:

The show was amazing! (as always) My pictures on the other hand were not....Heres a *few* good ones, and probably the only ones!

Everyone took a picture at the same time.

Hopefully I'll have better luck with pictures at the Auction!

Santa Monica and Newport

First day in my favorite city! We got up at 2am to go to the airport. Our plane left at 5:30 going to ATL. We got to San Diego around 10 which was nice. First stop In-n-out- burger. Yummm!

After Lunch we headed to Santa Monica (BEAUTIFUL) heres some pictures!

After Santa Monica we headed back to Encinitas but stopped at New Port on the way. We went to the famous Look out point from the OC. I got some fantastic (Neet's new favorite word) pictures from there as well! Here's a few!

The water was beautiful!!

When I look at the stars....
