The drive in experience was very cool.  Imagine sitting in your own car, with your own snacks, and simply driving up to a huge screen and tuning the radio into the frequency given to you and bingo in car cinema!!  Very cool and only 7 bucks for two movies – we saw Marley and me [...]

Yesterday we went to a shopping mall, got some great new clothes, went to Hooters for a great lunch, oh and I got a new tattoo.  Y’know just your regular Saturday afternoon in Riverside…Check out these pictures!  Then it was off to Ron and Pats for some wonderful tri-tip steak and drinks where we met [...]
