Hellooo 2011.. . I've missed you

Sorry kids – I’ve been MIA for quite sometime, but part of my new year’s resolution was to get better at blogging again…. Its February 14^th (gulp) well better late then never I guess. And at an attempt to make up for my tardiness here’s a snapshot of The Adventures of Michigas’ in January 2011

It started with the wedding of one of my best friends. She was the most stunning bride imaginable and the wedding was an absolute blast!!

The following weekend, I headed out to Cali for some fun in the sun. We spent a night out on the town in LA & then headed up to Santa Barbara for some wine touring. The trip was one for the books... it was filled with non stop laughter, love, and of course plenty of michigas.

See my blog posts on Travel Bug Bites for the full review of the wineries & the rest of our California adventures.

Sarloos & Sons

After an incredible weekend in Cali, I was forced to head back to NY in the midst of all the blizzards (which was pretty miserable). But in true michigas style... if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em! Which led me to the mountains for some boardin’ and fun on the slopes.

There was also the AFC championship game. Despite being a Giants fan, I had to show my support for NY; as the Jets (minimal) attempt to beat the Steelers and secure a spot in the Superbowl. Unfortunately, we all know how that ended... but I ended the night on youtube (check it out below at the 1:08 marker)

On the 26th, was my favorite January holiday - Australia Day! No better excuse then to celebrate an amazing country. So we headed to the nearest Australian bar and surrounded ourselves with Ozzies and their undeniably charming accent. When in Rome (or in this case Sydney)...

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oy Oy Oy!!

Last but certainly not least, some other January highlights were the engagements of 2 of my very close friends. I'm so excited for you both!!! Can't wait for all the fun and celebrations!

It's been a great start to 2011 and I have many more adventures already planned for this year! Stay tuned, plenty of more michigas to come...
