More Birthday Celebrations: This Time...Fishing!

As if the Monster Jam birthday celebration was not unique enough, we decided to celebrate Rob's (Tara's boyfriend) birthday by spending a day out on the open seas working hard for our own breakfast, lunch, and dinner...a.k.a. Fishing!

We left out of the Redondo Beach pier on a small fishing boat run by the locals.


None of us had had much experience with fishing so, of course, we were the laughing stock of the boat, but also the life of the party. We spent half a day out in the middle of the ocean fishing for small fish and came out pretty successful. Between the six of us we had enough food to eat for the rest of the weekend. We caught mostly perch and sea bass, and some mackerel but we had to throw them back since they aren't in season.

I'm proud to say that I did NOT get seasick AND caught the biggest fish (of our group), which wasn't very big at all. All joking aside, spending a beautiful morning on the ocean reminded me how lucky I am to live in wonderful Southern California.

This gets me caught up on the most exciting moments of 2009 thus far!

Until next time...Hugs and Kisses!
