In fear of forgetting more about 2010, I've decided to do a recap in list form, so here you have it. Even though it is in "top three" format, it's more like 3 things i liked, not #1, etc. This is mainly me (Whitney) speaking with bret's opinion taken into consideration.Top 3 Movies Watched:
1. Son of Rambo
2. The Brothers Bloom
3. Breaking Away
Top 3 Meals Eaten:
1. Ike's Sandwich in SF (pic below). This place blew my mind, I was almost in tears my sandwich was so good.
2. Chicken Macademia Nut sandwich in Hawaii
3. Curry Pasta Salad from this lady
Top 3 Albums that debuted in 2010:1. Suburbs- Arcade Fire
2. Age of Adz- Sufjan Stevens (I may or may not have gotten into a verbal altercation with the girl sitting in front of me at this concert, but who the freak spends $50 on a concert ticket to scroll through facebook during the show? I thought she should be informed that this was a poor decision and the light coming from her phone was driving everyone behind her nuts).
3. Contra- Vampire Weekend
Top 3 Books Read:
1. Strength in What Remains- Tracy Kidder
2. The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down- Anne Fadiman
3. Hunger Games Trilogy- don't judge me, you know you loved it
Top 3 Bummers (not to be confused with hardships or tragedies, those don't need to be hashed out in a top three list):
1. Bret breaking his ankle
2. Me denying a somewhat good job to then go on a never-ending search for full time work... 3/4 time isn't cutting it.
3. The sky rocketing rate of car insurance after you total your car. real bummer.
Top 3 Shows Watched:
1. Pushing Daisies (maybe for a second time)
2. Friday Night Lights
3. Modern Family
Top 3 Documentaries:
1. State of Mind
2. Man on Wire (I fell asleep at the very end and apparently it got a little racey, but the first 1hr30mins was fantastic)
3. Babies
Top 3 Vacations:
1. Hawaii
2. Chicago
3. Quemada
I don't remember why we were making those faces, but I love how we're in the most beautiful place and we look miserable.Top 3 camping sites:
1. Leo Carillo in Malibu
2. Sequoia Nat'l Park
3. Milk Lake, somewhere in the Tahoe Nat'l Forest
(That's Leo Carillo, and a lot of that white we're looking at is the ocean but since my camera is from 2003 it doesn't really capture how great it was, maybe I shouldn't have included this pic)If you have your own take on any of the above categories, I'd like hear it.

Surprised camping in Anticrotch didn't make the list.
What did you eat at Ike's Sandwiches? I need details!
I would like to add my utter surprise to Brad's ... camping in ear shot of the freeway didn't make top three? I know it was probably a toss up and got bumped to #4.
Good thing you didn't go to family camp this year It would have dominated all your food, camping, music, disasters, etc. lists. Much better to spread it around.
All your favorite meals are NOT homemade?? Oh man, you don't even know what real cooking is!
And if you guys ever head to Sequoia Nat'l Park again let us know! Its practically in our backyard. We played in the snow at Wolverton last week, it was AWESOME!
I am dying to go see the General Sherman Tree up close and personal. We've driven past it a few times. Supposedly the largest living thing in the world (in total mass I think not length)
Who's that with Peter Pan, Black Bart?
