Sawadee! #1

I just had the awesome opportunity to go to Thailand with my dad for almost 2 weeks. We had the best time and I have to say it's my favorite trip ever. Here are some of the pics- I'm going to post some more but I'm t-i-r-e-d:) I hope you enjoy my picture jewels. Thailand is an amazing place.

This is the Chiang Mai flower festival parade.


You can buy birds in little bamboo cages and let them fly free for good luck.



This cute little girl was walking around trying to sell us the bag in her hand. She was adorable.


On our way to the floating market.

A Quick Stop...

My dad and I took a brief layover trip into San Francisco. It's always fun to go because he grew up here and knows his way around, has great little hole in the wall places to go, knows the city's history, and has amazing stories from when he lived here. We had a kablast of a good time.:)

Having a delicious hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli Square.

Ocean Beach
He went to this beach a ton as a kid and teenager, so it's always fun for us to come with him.
Right outside of Golden Gate Park.

...and on we go to the next stop:)...

30 is pretty old if you ask me...

Brandon's big day was a hoot this year. We went up to the condo at Snowbird and had a great day on the mountain. Then I tricked him and made him come down the canyon to walk our dogs, and when we got back there was a magnificent surprise party there to greet him. The best part is that like two weeks ago he told me I couldn't surprise him with anything, he's too good. But he was shocked when he walked in, so ha! Take that you old wasian!

We just keep getting better and better looking as the pictures go on...;)











Brandon and his cousin Chris (also a marvelous wasian:)). Chris's birthday is the day before Brandon's. They have a picture from 1985 where they both had a birthday cake and celebrated it together, so this is them recreating their picture.


We gave Pat a trip to Las Vegas and a Cirque de Soliel show, so he returned the favor with a rafting trip in Moab...and Brandon can bring a guest, which = me!
My crafting skills hard at work.
This is one of my gifts to Brandon. I like to paint, so I painted us. I'm just an amateur so be nice:)

Poinsettia Bowl!

My dad took a group to the Poinsettia Bowl, and he got to take Sara and me along. Sweeeeeet! So we took a quick 2 day trip to San Diego and got to spend some quality Gelwix holiday cheer time together. Gelwix time+Utes' win=Excelllllllllent!





I bought those bows for Charly(Brandon's dog) but I think they are much more beautiful on my poopie. Very becoming!
We got to the stadium like 2 hours early, which explains oooooool the empty seats.

The Utes' first touchdown:) Number 81(Moeai) just caught the ball
Every first down my dad would do his over the top signal.

Some Cal fans lit a paper garbage can on fire. Excellent!
