An exclusive look at Santa's seven-day vacation in SLO County
Well, all that rest and relaxation on the Central Coast helped Santa pull off another amazing run on Christmas Eve.
Now that I’ve had time to look back and reflect on the week that was in SLO County, I thought I’d put together a funny bloopers highlight video of my time there.
So here’s my final present [...]
Thanks to everyone who followed my trip around SLO County.
I’ll be posting a bloopers video from the trip in the next couple of days.
Until then, have a happy holiday!

It wouldn’t be a trip to San Luis Obispo without a stop at Bubble Gum Alley. Santa also fly fished on the Central Coast this week, making a quick stop at Laguna Lake on his way out of town (nobody told me there were no fish in that lake!).

As I mentioned in my initial post, 2008 has been a tough year for Santa.

Christmas week is officially here, and it’s time for Santa to start taking it easy.
No more rock climbing, skateboarding or mountain biking for St. Nick. I need to keep myself out of harm’s way and make sure [...]

After failing to mountain bike my way to the top of Cerro Cabrillo yesterday, I decided to try rocking climbing to the peak this afternoon.
Yeah, bad idea. Santa’s boots weren’t made for climbing.
In fact, I didn’t even make it halfway before [...]

Well, Santa’s still a little black and blue from yesterday’s adventure at the Los Osos skatepark, so I’m taking it easy today.
I did some sightseeing in Morro Bay and got an up-close look at “The Rock,” which made me [...]

I like to think of myself as a well-rounded fella (thanks in part to Mrs. Claus’ famous gingerbread cookies).
But if there’s one thing I don’t get to do a whole lot of in the North Pole, it’s skateboard.
Snowboarding, [...]

It’s safe to say 2008 has been a rough year for all of us, including Santa.
In the last two quarters alone, I’ve had to lay off 30 percent of my elves and three reindeer.
Global warming has cost me much [...]
