a memorial day tribute.

For the past four years, we've spent Memorial Day Weekend with friends on Coronado Island in San Diego. It's awesome. Quinnster's family has a home on the island and have been generous to let their home become the backdrop for our annual tradition of (intense and very competitive) flippy cup tournaments, beach cruising, nighttime shenanigans, pink helmets & yellow bats, vodka lemonades on the beach, grilling, tons of board games, beach bocce, beer pong, an annual knock on the door from the local police and so much more.

Sadly the tradition had to be put on pause this year, but we'll be back on the island this time next year.

a little photo tribute of the past four years on the island.
until next year friends.
