Memorial Day Weekend, sponsored by Fanta

	This year for Memorial Day, we had the crowd head here to SB. Last year we went camping but we waited to long to book something.
	Started of the weekend with a nice hike up Tangerine Falls. The water was cold, and filled with green algae. I think we took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up going past the falls up to the fire road. Sadly the view was bleak as it was very overcast. After the hike we got lunch at the Greek deli where Alli decided to strangely order an orange fanta to go with her gyro. Interesting...
	Shower and some daiquiris, in time to get ready for dinner. We tried out Quantum, I think its a pretty new place i think. It was pretty good, kind of different. The menu took us about 30mins to figure out. They have main dishes but they also have items with the idea is to share. C and I ended up splitting, an Asian chicken salad, chicken lollipops ( chicken nuggets on a stick, but some tasty sweet sauce to dip them into ), and my favorite where the empanadas. Later we got some drinks at Elsie's, and the James Joyce.
	Sunday morning we went to Pacific Crepes for breakfast. C and Alli got dessert crepes, and my breakfast one was also tasty.
	Oh yeah on the way back from breakfast, I realized that I forgot to take a house key, and so did C. So We were good and locked all the doors and windows. Except for one, on the second story. Alli took the bold move of going to the back apt, and climbing the roof, walking across the house and then down to our winding, and voila just like that she found her true calling as a cat burglar.
	We visited I Modonnari Festival. It was a quick look as it was really crowed and we need to get supplies for BBQ-ing late.
	BBQ Time! We even invented a new game. Hedge Volley Ball! It a simple game of batting the beach ball over the hedges into the opposite grass court, and quite fun
	BBQ Delights got queued-ed up but chef Alex, sporting some Coke swag. We had some tasty 1/4 burger patties from Costco, tater Tot casserole, Grilled Corn, Alli's awesome guacamole, Missy's 6 layers of dipping fun, TJ's bread and spinach dip, beer, and oh the Fanta strikes again. Apparently the 12-er Shane brought was the hit as I think they were all gone by noon the next day. We even had a tasting of the Famous $34 Coke Zero. I was not that impressed. To me it tasted like sweet & low and diet coke, not really "Just" like regular coke.
	Monday we hit up the tradition Cantina breakfast burrito, before everyone parted ways. Later C and I hit up East beach for some Rays, and ironically, big Al was there too about 300 yards away and we didn't even see his big cabeza.
