The San Diego skyline (taken from the aircraft carrier)
|
Warm up time before the game
|
|
The beautiful view from the 2nd largest Holiday Inn in the United
States. (I guess this goes to show size doesn't matter.)
|
The Navy assembled to watch
The Battle of The Bands.
"Who
will win? Who will
win?!?" was the chatter heard
throughout
the crowd.
|
Leif contemplates life, and how, if only the letters of his name
were in a slightly different order, they would also spell
"life."
|
Me by the USS Nimitz, the
aircraft carrier that we were
privileged
to board.
|
Battle of the Bands... at that moment, the feisty Washington band
was playing.
|
A porthole overlooks the long line of
LHB members boarding the ship.
|
Although we were dubious at first, this guy explained how metal
really does float in water.
|
Watch out for those jet blast propellers
and rotors... they'll take
an arm off.
|
It's a gun. (For shooting.)
|
The runway
|
Mike and Jimmy are at it again.
When will they ever learn?
|
S... O... sit around and wait.
|
Pete was just as trigger happy as I.
|
Doug actually made it into one of our pictures! But can you
find him??
|
Jimmy gets comfortable the only
way he knows how... by exposing
his kneecaps.
|
Even in his sleep Pete sings to the blind, as if patterns could
breathe and guacamole was without taste.
|
We had a short concert at Sea World
so that we could get in for
free.
|
Our favorite spot at Sea World, the ropes! Too bad there were
so many little kids running around... they bleed too easily.
|
The Sea World security guards
patrolled the area regularly on
their horse-drawn carriage.
|
We determined that seagulls really don't like cucumbers, but they
will eat french-fries with melted cheese.
|
Sure, Chris is a human and that's a shark...
but you know they both just want to rip you apart with their teeth.
|
Several SOB's at Sea World
|
SOB's approach the stadium.
|
Mike and his right hand
|
Jimmy... shocked... amazed...
astounded.
|
Chris and Adonis are jovial.
|
Mike, Leif, Robby, and Pete.
|
Doug leads the band out one
last time.
|
Marines display the U.S. flag,
and kept it from touching the ground.
|
The fire works were colorful.
|
The fireworks were big.
|
The fireworks nearly killed us
all.
|
Jessica smiles over our win.
|
Bevo and I... we go way back.
|
Our win!
|
It rained all day at Disney
Land, but there was a rainbow!
|
Little kids (and big kids too)
rotate
a huge marble, which was suspended
by water-pressure from
underneath.
|
Lastly, one of the most
colorful and dazzling (or possibly hypnotic) rides at Disney Land... the
"It's a Small World" ride.
