It's been too long...... Update Part 1 Coachella 2009

So I looked at my blog and realized that it has been way too long since I last updated it so I think we have a lot to catch up with....

So what have I been up to? Well let's start from where I left off in March

At the end of April Catherine and I packed up our backpacks and jumped on a plane to the Palm Desert California for the Coachella music festival.

This is my 3rd year attending and there were some real class acts this year



We flew out straight from work on Thursday and stayed at a hotel next to Ontario Airport. We picked up the car and headed to the festival the next morning and boy was that a sweet set of wheels we had.... Very rock star and fitting of a music festival don't you think??



This was Catherine's fist experience of music festival and what a place to start! You are in the middle of the desert surrounded by palm tress with temperatures approaching 100F and the mountains are still snow capped!

I had decided to leave the 8 man tent from the previous years as Catherine and I are only wee ones so a 2 man was spacious for us! Plus I had enough of a problem trying put this tent up never mind one 4 times the size!! I'm sure Catherine was about to crack a tent pole over my head at one point during the construction but we made it!









After rocking out on Friday and Saturday we had to leave on Sunday to make it back for work on Monday. Instead of lying in we got up around 6am, showered packed up the tent and headed toward the coast.

We first arrived at Dana Point got out the car and took a walk along the beach.

This is one of my favorite places in all of the US and if my company would stop being so tight and give my the 70% cost of living that is required to move from Dallas to Orange County I would be living there now!!

Everything is really geared towards lifestyle and the outdoors, working to live not living to work... Any way after the beach we set course for Laguna Beach and found a Fish Taco joint, grabbed some lunch and a cold beer then made our way back to the airport, good times!



This was another amazing trip to Coachella, the best yet!!

Boys, I am laying down the challenge for next year, Coachella 2010 with Catherine and I??
