Yearly Archives: 2011

Brett and I have always talked about seeing the sites our city has to offer us but have never done anything about it.  When we lived in Santa Barbara we we’re so wrapped up in school that we never took the time to go do anything touristy.  The closest we came was buying an ice cream on the SB pier after a photo shoot.  In LA we always talked about going to universal studios or walking the Hollywood stars,  Yep never did that either.  So when our friends Dottie and Josh came into town to stay we all decided it was about time to play tourist.  San Diego is one of the cities that’s home to the GoCar.  GoCars are 3 wheeled electric cars with a GPS that guides you around San Diego and spews out random facts of the city’s history.   At this point there are only 2 tour routs, one takes you all over Point Loma and the other goes all around Down Town.  The best part is you can go off tour at any time to explore other areas.  The 4 of us has a blast!

That's right we had to wear helmets

GoCar Races!

Yep, it's just not an adventure with out Domo along for the ride

don't even ask

We weren't sure our brakes were going to stop us on the hills of Point Loma

Dottie and Josh got the jump on us when it came to up hill

We had a little extra time so we jumped onto the Down Town tour for a few minutes. It takes you by the USS Midway Museum

Here’s a peak at Donna and Mark’s romantic and fun engagement session.

Brett and Charlie had a blast running around the yard together.  Charlie showed us awesome skills at basket ball with a little help from his dad.  We also got a demonstartion of how fast he can race his radio flyer around the pool and last but not leaset he showed us his bubble blowing skills which I myself am very impressed with.  Thanks Charlie for showing us such a great time.

and then it was race time!

Back in the day the wearing of cuff links was the sing of a gentlemen.  Cufflinks are one of the few accessories a man willingly or not so willingly wears on his wedding day.  Well my thought is make them personal, so on that note I a.) wanted to learn a little bit about why men started wearing cufflinks and b.) find some really fun ones.  Here’s what peaked my interest.  To learn a little more about the history of cufflinks check out The Cufflink: A Short History

The mustache craze is still in full swing, so if that's his thing take a peak at these Cross-Stitch Moustache Cufflinks by MaMagasin on Etsy

Personalized Vintage Map Cuff Links. And the best part is you pick the cities you want on the cufflinks. This is a great gift with a lot of sentimental value. Hum now which cities would I pick?

Here's one for the Scrabble lover! and those of you that play words with friends that means you too. I've seen a number of Scrabble cuff links before but they are always the tan wood with black lettering. I really liked that these were made with darker wood. Theses are made by Cufflinks on Etsy

Love the Typewrite Key Cufflinks. For the vintage or writer theses are a fun one. Made by HauteKeys on Etsy

I saw these little gems an thought of Brett, they are made from Cadillac parts. He loves anything that has to do with cars and what better thing than cufflinks made of car parts. I guess the only thing better for him would be cufflinks made from parts of our old cars.
