States #37 & #38: The Carolinas

circa 2005 State #37: North Carolina My time here was spent on the Outer Banks, a hurricane-ravaged strip of beach with tons of random mini ramps and bowls. We stayed in a 4-story rental house and skated Wanchese, as well as some other sand covered mini ramps as part of an SG trip. [gallery=24] State # 38: South Carolina I love South Carolina. I’m not talking about South of the Border, but real SC. I was somewhat over my hellacious trip for SG when we rolled into John’s Island, a small town outside of Charleston. This is the home of the legendary hanger bowl, which we skated as well as…

The Whole Bowl

4409 SE Hawthorne Blvd www.thewholebowl.com Date of Visit: December 17, 2009 Price for 2: $13 The first visit to the Whole Bowl is an interesting experience, because it's definitely not your normal restaurant. After all, there is a grand total of one thing on the menu. Your choices include what size and an option to omit any of the standard ingredients. You can also choose to get chips (of the basic tortilla variety served up in an unimpressive ziplock bag) or not. And they have a variety of drinks including Hansen's soda, which is always a plus. Personally, I really like one item on the menu, but Jared was not…

States #39-40: West Virginia and New Mexico

circa 2005 Yes, you are right, these two states are no where near each other. But I hit them both on the same road trip, so deal with it. State #39: West Virginia (NO PHOTO TAKEN) West Virginia is one state I sort of feel like I didn’t experience. I have only been there once, and only to the little skinny top part. I think we stopped for gas, just so I felt ok about checking it off the list, but no amazing moonshine stories or anything to share here. State # 40: New Mexico My cousin lives in NM, so when Sarah Morrison was moving back to California for…

State #41: Texas

Circa 2006 For a while I claimed I’d been to Texas when I’d really only been to the airport. But then I started having to go there for work and I’ve since been to Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. I don’t hate it as much as I think I should, as it is the home of Dubyah. In fact, I sort of like Texas, spare the weird frontage roads and the chiggers. [gallery=22]

States #42-47: OK, AR, AL, MS, GA, TN

Circa 2006 Doing fifty posts (one for each of the states) seems a bit excessive, and as I said, most of them were hit on long distance road trips. That said, I'm going to keep going back in time in the order I hit the states by combining each road trip into one post. A few might get mixed up (like GA, which I visited before this particular trip) but close enough. (more…)

State #48: Alaska

Circa 2006 For a while I flew Alaska Airlines and ended up with a bunch of miles I needed to use before they expired. For 40k miles I bought two tickets to AK and figured, why the fuck not. But when my original companion flaked on me, I was ready to write the miles off as a loss, until randomly, I thought of another friend who would have money and free time. The trip was spent on the Kanai peninsula, visiting Seward and Homer, going on whale watches and deep sea fishing, hiking up glaciers, eating salmon and otherwise figuring out how to fill 20 hours of daylight.

State #49: Louisiana

Circa 2008 Louisiana was my second-to-last state visited, always just out of reach of my cross-country routes. But like Florida, and Texas, since ending up there once, I’ve been back plenty of times. I’ve taken multiple wakeskate trips to ride the buttery bayous and enjoy some serious southern hospitality. I also went on “vacation” to New Orleans last year, where I hung out on Bourbon St, photographed cemeteries, and found myself sobered by the amount of destruction still left from Hurricane Katrina three years later.

Lunch on Hawthorne’s Hawaiian Vacation!

Never fear loyal Lunch on Hawthorne readers, we haven't given up on our mission. No, Jared and I just went on vacation! Being the dedicated blogger I am, I obviously took photos of every meal I ate, and am taking this opportunity to post a some-what unrelated Hawaii food super post! Overall, our Hawaii food experience was a good one, although some of the meals fell a bit flat. I was surprised at the availability of Jared (veggie) Food; we only hit one place where he literally couldn't eat anything. That's not to say the overall meals weren't meaty, in fact several places boasted menu items such as "Beef with…

State #50: Hawaii

Circa 2009 Last week I reached a life goal that I happen to be sort of proud of: I've officially made it to all 50 states. I don't count airports, I have to have actually spent time in the state, breathed the air, walked on the ground etc. Obviously making it to Hawaii and Alaska was the biggest challenge, as most of the states were hit on long-distance road trips. Technically I hit Alaska before Louisiana, but Hawaii was the final frontier. I was so excited I even debated getting a Hawaii #50 tattoo while there (don't worry mom, I didn't.) Over the next few weeks, months, however long it…

Scenes From Pearl Harbor

I am trying really hard at this "vacation" thing, but not posting things on the Internet is hard for me. Especially when we hit a place like Pearl Harbor and I am inspired by the most fun photo project yet. Random family portraits. These people give shooting missiles at things a double thumbs up! I'm totally looking through a periscope right now, NBD. I image this guy is making shooting noises in his head. There has to be some sort of falic symbolism reference to be made here... This is way better than actually joining the military! Kids, pay attention to the camera, not the neat spinny thing. Yes, you…

State #41: Texas

Circa 2006 For a while I claimed I’d been to Texas when I’d really only been to the airport. But then I started having to go there for work and I’ve since been to Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. I don’t hate it as much as I think I should, as it is the home of Dubyah. In fact, I sort of like Texas, spare the weird frontage roads and the chiggers. [gallery=22]

States #42-47: OK, AR, AL, MS, GA, TN

Circa 2006 Doing fifty posts (one for each of the states) seems a bit excessive, and as I said, most of them were hit on long distance road trips. That said, I'm going to keep going back in time in the order I hit the states by combining each road trip into one post. A few might get mixed up (like GA, which I visited before this particular trip) but close enough. (more…)

State #48: Alaska

Circa 2006 For a while I flew Alaska Airlines and ended up with a bunch of miles I needed to use before they expired. For 40k miles I bought two tickets to AK and figured, why the fuck not. But when my original companion flaked on me, I was ready to write the miles off as a loss, until randomly, I thought of another friend who would have money and free time. The trip was spent on the Kanai peninsula, visiting Seward and Homer, going on whale watches and deep sea fishing, hiking up glaciers, eating salmon and otherwise figuring out how to fill 20 hours of daylight.

State #49: Louisiana

Circa 2008 Louisiana was my second-to-last state visited, always just out of reach of my cross-country routes. But like Florida, and Texas, since ending up there once, I’ve been back plenty of times. I’ve taken multiple wakeskate trips to ride the buttery bayous and enjoy some serious southern hospitality. I also went on “vacation” to New Orleans last year, where I hung out on Bourbon St, photographed cemeteries, and found myself sobered by the amount of destruction still left from Hurricane Katrina three years later.

Lunch on Hawthorne’s Hawaiian Vacation!

Never fear loyal Lunch on Hawthorne readers, we haven't given up on our mission. No, Jared and I just went on vacation! Being the dedicated blogger I am, I obviously took photos of every meal I ate, and am taking this opportunity to post a some-what unrelated Hawaii food super post! Overall, our Hawaii food experience was a good one, although some of the meals fell a bit flat. I was surprised at the availability of Jared (veggie) Food; we only hit one place where he literally couldn't eat anything. That's not to say the overall meals weren't meaty, in fact several places boasted menu items such as "Beef with…

State #50: Hawaii

Circa 2009 Last week I reached a life goal that I happen to be sort of proud of: I've officially made it to all 50 states. I don't count airports, I have to have actually spent time in the state, breathed the air, walked on the ground etc. Obviously making it to Hawaii and Alaska was the biggest challenge, as most of the states were hit on long-distance road trips. Technically I hit Alaska before Louisiana, but Hawaii was the final frontier. I was so excited I even debated getting a Hawaii #50 tattoo while there (don't worry mom, I didn't.) Over the next few weeks, months, however long it…

Scenes From Pearl Harbor

I am trying really hard at this "vacation" thing, but not posting things on the Internet is hard for me. Especially when we hit a place like Pearl Harbor and I am inspired by the most fun photo project yet. Random family portraits. These people give shooting missiles at things a double thumbs up! I'm totally looking through a periscope right now, NBD. I image this guy is making shooting noises in his head. There has to be some sort of falic symbolism reference to be made here... This is way better than actually joining the military! Kids, pay attention to the camera, not the neat spinny thing. Yes, you…

States #37 & #38: The Carolinas

circa 2005 State #37: North Carolina My time here was spent on the Outer Banks, a hurricane-ravaged strip of beach with tons of random mini ramps and bowls. We stayed in a 4-story rental house and skated Wanchese, as well as some other sand covered mini ramps as part of an SG trip. [gallery=24] State # 38: South Carolina I love South Carolina. I’m not talking about South of the Border, but real SC. I was somewhat over my hellacious trip for SG when we rolled into John’s Island, a small town outside of Charleston. This is the home of the legendary hanger bowl, which we skated as well as…

The Whole Bowl

4409 SE Hawthorne Blvd www.thewholebowl.com Date of Visit: December 17, 2009 Price for 2: $13 The first visit to the Whole Bowl is an interesting experience, because it's definitely not your normal restaurant. After all, there is a grand total of one thing on the menu. Your choices include what size and an option to omit any of the standard ingredients. You can also choose to get chips (of the basic tortilla variety served up in an unimpressive ziplock bag) or not. And they have a variety of drinks including Hansen's soda, which is always a plus. Personally, I really like one item on the menu, but Jared was not…
