Every year we go to California at least once for the Oakland Raiders games with Jim & Veronica Pettit! This year I talked Becky into coming with us Dec 12-14 because she was needing a break and I told her it would be a good time to get away for a few days!! We flew into Oakland were Becky was waiting for us and then we got our rental car and head to Prunetucky aka Prunedale. We called Jim when we were close and told him we just landed joking around with him and then pulled into their driveway. Once Veronica got home from work we decided we were going to have Mexican food for dinner and then we were going to play poker with Jim & Veronicas friends! Becky started drinking wine a little early and Jim was pouring some big glasses. Let’s just say two bottles of wine later Becky was feeling good and we were wondering the neighborhood after we were told not to! 
Saturday after a rocky start we went to Monterey and went to all of the shops and got some cookies. The weather started getting bad so we got in the car and went to an old abandoned military camp! We walked/drove around looking at all of the buildings and found were a young girl was kidnapped and killed! After the crazy adventure we went back to the house and watch Don’t Forget the Lyrics and started cooking dinner. Everything was almost ready and it was time for the steaks. My dad volunteered to cook them since he “is king” of cooking steaks. He put the steaks on and came back into the house to watch a little more of the TV show. When he went back out to check them and flip them they were on FIRE!!! That’s right we looked over and all we could see was huge flames and him trying to move the steaks as they were on fire to!! We all laughed for hours about it and still to this day joke around about it!

Sunday we got up and went to this ma & pa restaurant for breakfast and then headed to Raider Nation!!! The weather wasn’t too bad until we got closer to Oakland. Becky and I went and found a place to get hot chocolate and went down to our seats. Once the game started it started pouring down rain. Oakland was getting their bums kicked so we left at half time and went to a nice steak house and had dinner before the airport! We looked on top of our game compared to everyone else in the restaurant! We had a long time at the airport before our flights left so we watched the other football game in the bar and shopped at the stores! After Becky and I said good bye to each other we started planning the next time we would get together…
