Trip down memory lane...full-on

Off to the airport grandpa goes. Before he left, we took this awesome drive on the East side of Maui. All rainforest and all windy roads...even saw some surfers on the way back tackling some 10' - 15' waves - someday, someday.

Now that we got grandma all decked out in board shorts and a tank top, we decided to drive to Lahaina and bring back some memories of 20 years ago. Growing up I remember this dream I had of when I was in Japan, watching all these fishies swim in a huge courtyard with patios surrounding the pond. There were bridges, tables and chairs, people and HUGE gold fish.\
Well, today, grandma took to the place where the two of us would go and feed the fish popcorn when I was 4 years old. As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I stood in aw. I totally remembered this place and it tripped me out. The courtyard in my dream was identical but larger, but everything else, the same. I told her, that I remember this place to such detail but I always dreamt that it was in Japan. She chuckled and off she went shopping the same stores she remembered 20 some years ago. I may not have remembered this place from when I was four, but I certainly recollect the reoccuring dreams growing up - I never thought it actually existed. Awesome!
Other than that, I just had a great road trip with grandma...she, sharing stories of the past and me, sharing stories of my 'weird' friends. I told her about the dance club I go to and all the gay people I love. She told me about the dance barn and when the day of rock and roll come in. Maybe grandma will come to the Roost!
Here's an great classic clip of grandma rockin' out to some classic rock. A great day this day when this comes of it.
Grandma Rocks!
