Santa Ana, CA

February 6th – 8th

Old Spice High School Basketball Showcase – Nike Extravaganza! – ESPNU – 8pm & 10pm ET

Ahh! A trip to Cali in the middle of the winter – how awesome is that!? I even suffered thru a 6am flight out on Friday just so I could have the afternoon to soak in some warm weather.

Nope! It ranged in the 50s-60s with tons of rain & mud slides!

The crappy weather did allow me to get caught up on a lot of emails on Friday afternoon – which is always a good thing.

And the weather couldn’t stop me from the other wonderful feature of California: In-N-Out Burger!


I typically only make it to California about twice a year and when I am there, I pretty much only eat In-N-Out Burger during my stay.

On Saturday, we had a double-header at Mater Dei High School.


Their facility was recently built with television in mind as it is pre-cabled. Wow! A lot of colleges don’t even invest that kind of money into their facilities.


You will never guess what I had for lunch?

I didn’t get to check out the inside (of the arena) as much as I had hoped. I am always super busy for double-headers and never have time to just explore. I did snap this though on one of my trips to the bathroom.


I didn’t play high school sports, even so, I can not imagine traveling across the country to play in a game. There were teams in this tournament from as far away as New Jersey.

At the end of the night, Stephanie wanted a Diet Coke for her drive to LA; so we decided the only place that would probably have Diet Coke would have to be In-N-Out Burger!
Since I was there and have no upcoming California trips, I figured I had to go ahead and have one more burger.
