Sam Adams Imperial Line

I haven’t found this line in Texas, and I got to try the Imperial Stout, which I almost had to scrape it out of the bottle it was so thick

Viv and a Baby

Adorable baby named Kaitlyn (Viv’s Uncle’s Daughter)

Beer Bacon Butter Burgers

Seriously. Nguyen (twitter) shared this recipe with us. After smelling this, we had to wait 3 hours to eat them!

That’s it for now, more pics coming once we upload from Viv’s camera too. Speaking of Vivien, she doesn’t update much does she?

The Chinese Theater was awesome! Home to the “stars” (pics below) and the famous hand prints, this 1200 seat auditorium was a great place to watch Harry Potter 6. Highlights:

Vivien Leigh (who Vivien Ly was named after) Star:

Michael Jackson’s Star was crowded the whole time (sorry for the bad pic):

View from the outside:

And a quick peek inside:

Oh yeah, it was a pretty good movie too.

We took a day trip to San Diego on Monday to visit their world famous zoo, and it did live up to expectations. Here are some quick highlights!

Giraffes … always so fun to look at (shout out to BOG Designs)

Pandas (not the greatest view but the line was crazy long most of the day)

And a hilarious warning at the Lion’s Cage

We highly recommend making it out there - be sure to buy passes for the Air-Trolly that lets you fly from one side of the zoo to the other!

Let the food begin! We’ve had some great Vietnamese, Japanese, Italian and more!

Food highlight has definitely been Thi’s Starry Kitchen creation (Starry Kitchen)

More updating on the way … right now we’re headed to the San Diego Zoo!

Viv and I are on our way to California to visit Nguyen and Thi (Brother and Sister in-laws!), and along the way we’ll get to see several other in-laws and Stephanie, Elliott and Mia Foster!
