Fishing trip with Grandpa, Uncle Eric and Dad

So here we are on another trip..... It is June 9th and we are boarding a plane to Toronto Canada. We are meeting my father and brither for a year long planned fishing trip to Rice Lake in Canada. Rice Lake is about 50 miles east of Toronto. This is the first trip that my father has taken since he started his kidney dialysis. Anthony has not gone fishing before and since teenagers are in a constant mood swing this trip should be interesting.


We only caught about 250 fish. The Bugs were pretty bad and there were days that we did not catch much. Anthony is not very happy with the television stations. A lot of them are in French. There were a lot of G4 shows and of course Leo Laporte. Sorry Eric...Eric is not a fan of the Mac.

On the way back to the airport , we stopped to see some of the sites in Toronto. After checking in at the airport we went through customs and on to the plane. That was a long day from 6am EST to 11pm PST.

This was a good trip, Anthony caught up on a lot of sleep and it was great to just relax for a week.

Star Wars Celebration 4 Los Angeles CA

So what do you do when you travel alot for your job and your only son tells you that the Star Wars convention that only occurs every four years is in Los Angeles? Well, you check your Marriott points and see if you can get a free stay. Well, that did not happen, Marriott did not have rooms avaliable that I could use points to pay for. So we reserve a room for friday, saturday and sunday. I happened to not be traveling for work that weekend and so after working a half day at the office on friday I came home packed the car with our suitcase and a small cooller full of snacks. [if you are not familar with the distance from Las vegas to Los Angeles- it is about 4 to 4.5 hours and over half of that is going through the desert....so nothing to look at and radio stations suck!]

So the Star Wars Celebration 4 was awsome we saw Billy Dee Williams, Peter Mayhew(Chewbacca), Amy Earhart a.k.a Stacy from the Pink Five fan movies (see her picture below) , Jullian Glover from Stars Wars and Indian Jones and the Last Crusade (he was the bad guy that "choose poorly" in Indiana Jones movies) and the back of Carrie Fisher's head in a crowd. Seth Macfarline, creator of Family Guy. Seth was annoucing a two hour episode of the Family Guy that was going to be a Star Was themed episode of the orginal Star Wars movie but with Family Guy characters.


Anthony with Amy Earhart aka Stacy or Pink Five

The highlight of the weeknd was seeing the premiere of the next installment of the Pink five triolgy. Pick Five is a Fan film of Stars Wars staring Amy Earhart as Stacy or Pink Five. The Star Wars geeks will get the reference to Red Five. If you would like to see the episodes of Pink Five , go to Pink Five . So aftere the premere , we drove 4.5 miles back to Las Vegas. It was about one o'clock in the morning when we got home. Anthony fell asleep before we left CA. But I was wie awake with my Venti Double shot Vanille Latte!
