Last month was the annual clam chowder cook off in Santa Cruz and I booked a hotel for the weekend (a few months ago actually!)
This year Samar came with - as usual - and Adam joined us after recently moving to the bay area.

The weather was great and we couldn't have asked for better - actually i would've preferred hotter.
Anyway, the clam chowda was yummy and it was a full on weekend of all sorts of eating.
And of course, I got to stop by the Pono Grill on Friday night too

I've been seriously craving a diving trip but unfortunately, funds are an issue. I have to save so I can blow it all in Hawaii! But still, after I got back from Texas, I didn't want to spend a stagnant week just bouncing around craigslist and other places (still looking for a new gig).

While I was looking up dive operators in Hawaii, I realized some of them charge over 2-3x more than here! So I decided to just get in some scuba related stuff this week regardless by signing up for the Rescue Diver course. :-) Which I did.
Saturday required a trip down to Monterey and some in-water sessions at Breakwater. It seemed like it was going to be a chore because of the weather forecast but in the end, the skies were clear, the sun was out and the water not too terrible after all!
Oh and to make my trip easier, I drove half way down to Santa Cruz to spend the night with [livejournal.com profile] rjkeener  and [livejournal.com profile] misscon . We hit the Jury Room for a show while I avoided pounding shot after shot of JD (didn't want to be feeling like shite in the am). I woke up with the sun (and my alarm) and bundled up for the drive down CA-1 along the coast. That was pretty damn nice too!
