Top Gear on Ayrton Senna

I was watching the documentary on Senna showed on TV the other day and almost cried while watching his crash. Jeremy Clarkson takes a look back at the career of the amazing Ayrton Senna. Lewis Hamilton gets the opportunity to drive Ayrton's MP4 McLaren.

Lancaster Brewing Company

In 1995, Lancaster Malt Brewing opened and brought back the popularity of Lancaster-brewed beer. The business fell under hard times until Lancaster Brewing Company purchased it in 2001. The company has a commitment to quality brewing and operates under Reinheitsgebot, which is a historic German law mandating that only malt, hops, yeast, and water be used for the preparation of beer. Consumers receive only good tasting beer from Lancaster Brewing Company, a Lancaster brewing tradition.

From 8/1/12

Brew Masters

I really wish they would bring this show back. Finally some we could watch and enjoy and they pull the plug by Big Corp. pressure.

Check out this great band from Denver, CO

Denver 2012

We've been to some great restaurants in Denver. Unfortunately this week I'm to laze to describe the places we've been and thought I would just share some pics to give you a little watered mouth. The cotton wood trees were everywhere near the event and there was cotton flying around. It almost looked like snow when we looked out of the window. Never saw anything like it before. It was very cool.

Golden, CO

Finally sometime off after a full week of long days of work. Jesse and I took a short trip to Golden in Colorado, just a 30 minutes drive from Denver, and had a wonderful day with the best weather we could wish for. Golden is this little Paradise on the foot hill of the Rocky Mountain. The Home of Coors Brewery. They had nice places to hike and take relaxing walks. The food was excellent and the whole place had a calming feeling to it. We sat in a restaurant by the river and chat for while listening to the water rushing gently near by. What a great day. That's the kind of place I could live in.

Glenwood Springs 2012

Napa Valley and Sonoma 2012

There are so many vineyards in The Nappa Valley, each one beautiful beyond words. Time restraints allowed us to visit two of them, Artesa Winery and then Domaine Carneros by Taittinger. Wine tasting at both and a nice finish at Domaine Carneros with great hors-d'oeuvres and a spot on the terrace. The main building was mansion proportions. Dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant in Nappa topped off the experience.

San Francisco 2012

San Francisco
Scott McKenzie
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco

You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

Pasadena 2012

Great weather in Pasadena. We found some great Brunch places with excellent food and fresh fruit. A little corner pizza place with a Wood fire Oven. I can't believe I ate a whole pizza by my self. Jesse didn't want stay behind so he ate a whole calzone and still try to tell me it was health food. I saw the car of my dreams parked across the street and we finished the week with a trip to Yard House Beers. They claim to have the largest selection of beer in the world.

Scarlett Johansson Hollywood Blvd Star 2012

Jesse and I were very lucky to be walking around Hollywood Blvd the day they were giving Scarlett Johansson her Hollywood Blvd Star of Fame. I'm a big Marvel fan and was nice to see two of the main actors on the Avengers Movie on real life (Scarlett Johanssonand as "Black Widow" and Jeremy Renner as "Hawkeye"). I know what you're thinking. "Nerd". But I'm sure you would be star's struck if would meet someone you consider an amazing actor/actress as we did. I thought she was very nice and didn't seem to be snob or anything like it around people.

Hollywood, Los Angeles 2012

Hollywood was amazing and you never know who you will meet. Madame Tussaud was very gracious and arranged a meet and greet. After the meet and greet, there was still time to check on the "stars". Kermit, "yayee" and 3CPO's footprints.

Pella 2012

Pella is an amazing place with windmills and a restored opera house complete with an organ. A favorite place to eat was a Greek restaurant. A great dinner at The Monarch, a Pella hotel. See, we're on a seafood diet and check out the salads. Dutch made pastries are huge! We were looked after very well!

Last night we had dinner with Cassie and Paul. He cooked us an amazing meal. We always look forward to visit with them when we go to Houston. It's one of the best thing from the trip and we know a pleasant night is ahead of us when we get invited for their home.

Houston 2012

Today we had some time until we have to head to the event so we decide to visit downtown. Houston is a very pretty city to drive around. We found a house all made of aluminum beer/soda cans. This is to show how people can be creative but as well shows how many crazy ones are out there, he, he, he... The Houston Aquarium was nice. We enjoy playing with the stingrays and see the White Bengal Tigers among other things. I was a little concerned having to explain people Jesse was not part of the showing and it was ok for me to take him home.

Galveston 2012

It was amazing to see Galveston after all the destruction they went through. All the houses are brand new and some are huge and luxurious. Still they are all lifted on stilts. Its a crazy site to see all those Block houses hanging over 15ft in the air. We enjoy our time on the Ferry. We were wondering if our van and trailer would fit the boat until we saw a Semi-truck driving in. We actually looked kind of small.
