Tiger Tiger Tiger Woods Y'all

Well the award for best Christmas present of all time was handed out in 2006 to Lauren Boutilier. The event was held at a small gathering in Pigott Lake Nova Scotia. I opened two four day passes to the Buick Invitational golf tournament in La Jolla California to go watch Tiger play golf. And with that the award was won. The trip surpassed the hype.



We flew into Palm Springs and then drove to the coast. These grass covered hills were along the way.






We stayed the first night in Surf City USA. Huntington Beach California. I was there once as an eleven year old and then again five years ago with Davey. It's an awesome place to hang out.





This pic is for my fam. We have an Uncle Jimmy who used to eat at this restaurant twice a day, every day. He paid by the month instead of by the meal. He took us here twenty years ago and Lauren and I went for breakfast. It hasn't changed one bit.



We went to Newport Beach on the way to San Diego. Didn't see Racheal Bilson. Very disappointing.


Welcome to Torrey Pines. We luckily went on Wednesday night for an hour just to check it out and we're so glad we did as it was the only time we were allowed to have a camera. These were our seats for Sunday on the 18th green. We had a great view of Tiger tapping in for the win.



Me and Vijay.



First tee. What a tease.


The whole golf course is built along the cliffs of Torrey Pines State Park. Some of the holes are just unbelievable.


The grandstand on 18.


Sun going down on Wednesday. We were back at the course before the sun came up on Thursday.



The player golf carts to get from putting green to driving range. Hilarious.



This is where we camped just north of La Jolla for two of the nights.


This was the view from the campsite. There were at least 20 surfers in
the water until the sun disappeared.



La Jolla California. Oh by the way that's pronounced La Hoya. Bit embarassing when you pronounce it how it reads. I would imagine.


This is the billboard outside the Zoo. Hilarious. We went for a few hours and saw the polar bears and gorillas and pandas.


We went downtown San Diego for a day and night and there was a huge protest of the war right down the middle of the main street. Easily 5000 people in the demonstration.


The architecture of San Diego reminds me of Montreal or Quebec City. Old buildings they've restored and turned into restaurants and shops. Very cool area to hang out.
