Super Bowl 2010!

Hmmmmm, except, I don't even know who is playing. hehe

Oh well!

Mike informed us he had never had a Mickey Mouse pancake before! Shocking, right? We of course had to change that!

The girls played games and read magazines while the boys played MW2.

Tahoe was the best!

Waking up to snow is pretty awesome. Even if I'm not much of a snow person, I love waking up to it a few times a year! :) As long as it's not in San Francisco!

This was my view waking up this morning...

We got up, ate breakfast and hit Northstar bright and early!

Most of us went snowboarding. There were a few that stayed back for various reasons. But, here is the snowboarding group.

Note: These pictures (except for the first one) were taken with my little camera, and some were taken by my friend Katie. As much as I wanted to bring my big camera with me, I knew it would have been a bad, bad idea!

Anyway, it snowed the whole entire day! We had tons of fresh powder to board in and we loved every second of it!

From February

Here we are at the top of the mountain...still snowing!

From February

And more boarding and more snowing...

From February

Nice warm, dry me...

From February

Frozen me! Even my braids were frozen. But, I still have a smile on my face and loving it!

From February

What a perfect way to end the day!

After two days straight at the beach, we needed a day off. Well, WE didn't need it, but our poor white bodies did! I don't think I have ever gone to Hawaii this white before. Scary! Luckily none of us got too burnt (except maybe Diana :). But, to prevent some major burnt bods, we decided to hit up the other side of the island and do some shopping.

Paia is a small hippyish town. It's really cute! It reminds me of a street you would find in Berkeley.

Of course, we had to eat more yummy fish tacos. Wow! I didn't actually order than, I got a salad. I did try one though and they were amazing! I might even go as far as saying they are better than Jaws. Crazy, I know!

I know you know where this light is from! I just had to take a picture of it...

From January

We walked around for a little while, did some shopping, worked up an appetite again and stopped for one of Maui's famous shave ice! I crave these things on a regular basis at home, especially during the summer! And, yes, these are the ones with ice cream on the bottom.

Aloha! Day 2 in Hawaii was spent at the beach! Duh! I talked to Scott and he said it's still raining at home. Man am I glad I'm in paradise right now!

I didn't take my camera to the beach today. I was a little scared about the sand and leaving it in my bag while I played in the waves. I did take it to watch the sunset again though! And, of course, to grab a drink or a few for happy hour again.

Really though, we have had this trip planned for months. It couldn't have come at a better time! Me and four of my best girlfriends (one being my sis) are here in Maui for a much needed ladies trip. YES!!

I cannot tell you how amazing it felt to get off the plane and feel 80 degree weather!

Our first stop was at one of our favorite fish taco restaurants, Jaws, in Kihei. Deeeeeelicious! Of course, a beer was in order. Plus, we arrived just in time for happy hour!

After we filled our tummy with tacos and beer, we headed to the beach! Look how white we all are! Haha! This is Makenna Beach...

From January

We ended up down the road at Big Beach to watch our first Hawaii'an sunset. So pretty!

Dustin's 30th Birthday Party at Butter!!

From January

**click on the pictures to make bigger**

Just a few from the group...

From January

One of my favorite bars in the City is Butter. It's a white trash 80's themed bar. Seriously, who could ask for anything more? There's great music, 40's served in a paper bag, jello shots that should be illegal, and white trash type of food like tater tots, cheese sticks, chicken nuggets, microwave mac-n-cheese, spaghetti-0's, deep fried twinkies and much more. However, I do think my favorite part is the big bowel of suckers that are FREE! I must have had at least 20 of them through out the night.
