Earthquakes and Shockers

We've had an interesting last couple of days. 

Last night, we went over to the condo of the couple we meet to watch the Chiefs' games.  We were sitting on their patio, watching the sunset and drinking wine -- having a nice, relaxing time.  Suddenly we felt the earth start to shake ... there was an earthquake!  It was a 4.7 magnitude and the epicenter was about 5 miles from where we were sitting.  It definitely surprised everyone but fortunately there were no injuries -- so we just thought it was really cool.  The news said it was felt clear over in Honolulu (about 100 miles).

Today we were having a pretty quiet day; really nothing planned.  Joe was watching the Maui Invitational on ESPN so we just decided to see if we could get last minute tickets -- and we did!  We ended up seeing Wichita State play Virginia -- and we had seats right behind the goal next to the Wichita bench.  We were on ESPN off-and-on during the whole game -- John and my mom both texted us to tell us they were watching us.  Hilarious!  Wichita State won the game 70-58 (Go Shockers!) and it was fun to see a midwest team play. 



Last minute tickets to a sold out tournament
Sweet!

Lahaina Civic Center
Maui Invitational

You should have seen everyone making the Shocker sign
but I convinced Joe to make the Hawaii Shaka sign instead


Right outside the arena, they had several tents set up with food, a beer garden and live music so we thought we'd hang out for a little while.  Really fun! 


We had a beautiful rainbow outside the arena
but never did see any rain

Funny how "do-nothing" days can end up being so fun :)
