Jeff's 36th

After a heavy night of thunder, lightning, and 3 bottles of wine with the Warren's at Auntie Pastos I woke up to a very questionable Saturday morning. Questionable in a sense that I wasn't sure if I was still sleeping or awake as well as if the weather was going to cooperate for the days big event. Still trying to figure out what went on the night before I dragged myself out of bed packed up the van and headed over to Magic Island to set up shop for the day. We were going to celebrate my brother Jeff's 36th over some BBQ, beers, and surf with some family and friends. Not only did the weather cooperate it ended up being a typical picturesque Hawaiian day. The sun was out all day, the surf was on the rise, and the friends kept on rolling in. The BBQ grill was fired up all day long and there was nothing but ono grinds coming off of it. Big Mahalos to all that showed up and helped make it a great day.
