We headed off to Old Town Sacramento for some Old Town fun.  Its a pretty cool place, I must say.  A very cool place.  Tu loved the place because it reminded her of the TV Show Heart of Dixie.  It was a very pretty day.

The Old Town sits along the Sacramento River and beautiful buildings.  Tu and Vinh sit on a bench admiring the beauty of the city.

Here is a closer view of the vibrant city by the river.  What a pleasant view it is.

Vine sitting and looking cool on the wooden sidewalks. The whole town has wooden planks for sidewalks, just like the Gold Rush days.

Look at Vinh, pulling the train.  He was pulling it with his teeth, but had to pause and use more strength in this photograph

There are tunnels that connect Old Sacramento and New Sacramento.  Here is Tu in one of the tunnels.

And Vinh, hanging out in front of a wall. He likes to hang out on walls for photographs

The Legend of Broken Hill

Legend has it there is Gold on this hill but no one can get to it. It’s too in accessible and there are trolls that live in caves and steal your money if you get to close.  This is the legend of Torrey Pines Broken Hill

This is Chet; my best friend from college, Aaron’s, son.  Chet was cool, cool, cool hanging out at the park near the fire hydrant.  What a good boy he is.

Coconut Dreams

Sometimes La Jolla feels like Hawaii.  Nice laid back feel and not much to do except enjoy the nice last few minutes of daylight.

Continental Breakfast

Posted on Oct 13, 2014 in Music

I always hear bands say, “Yeah, well we wrote this song in our hotel room.”.  I always wanted to do that.  Like a traveling song writer in a hotel. Well, I got the chance while staying at a classic Marriott Hotel.

The term Continental Breakfast is one of those expressions that always made me think I was going to get more than I actually ended up getting.  It sounds better than saying assorted lukewarm fruits and stale pastries.

I wrote this song in my hotel room and created two versions. I just recorded it today and uploaded it. I first created the classic The Fred Astaire Version and then I created the Country Inn and Suites remix.  Enjoy.
