Catching Up

Well its been a while since I've been on here, had to rest after San Diego. On Saturday of my San Diego trip we headed out to the beach. The waters are much colder in the Pacific than the Atlantic. The worst part though is no matter how much sunscreen I put on I still turned out looking like a tomato. It was fun getting to know Carl's shop crew. They are a lot of fun and know how to really grill. After we left the beach they took me to In and Out Burger, so I could finally figure out what all the talk was about. Cheap but very fresh burgers and fries. Definitely yummy and Texas people will be happy to know that its coming soon :-)

On Sunday (Father's Day) we decided to go to Sea World, along with everyone else lol. It was a lot of fun, I love seeing marine animals up close so cool. The only thing I really wanted to do but we didn't have time was feeding the dolphins. :-( Its ok one of these days I will go back to one of the Sea Worlds and I will pay for the dolphin encounter or just go some where where I can swim with dolphins. Did I mention how gracious I am to my father for letting me borrow his camera, I got some amazing photos of the shows. My favorite was by far the sea lions and otters late night show. Making fun of all the other shows, it was very entertaining. I'm so glad we made it to the end of the night for the Shamu Rocks, but it was a very long day about 11 hours.

On Monday Carl had to go back to work and I had work and I had worn poor Marci out with all of our activities, so I got a bus schedule and headed to Balboa Park and the zoo on my own. The hardest part about riding buses in an unknown city is just knowing where to get off because they didn't announce every location and if they did announce the location you had no idea what the hell they were saying. Luckily there were some very nice people I met in San Diego that helped me out there. Now the San Diego Zoo is everything everyone said it was although it was very hilly and you can get lost very easily because you have one way trails. My favorite part of the day there was the birds of flight show. I love looking at the birds and their wingspans, its just so amazing. After the zoo I walked over to Balboa park sadly I didn't have enough time to see all the museums, I'll just have to go back I guess. My dad was right though it was absolutely amazing. I remember the few bits I got to see when I was there with Joe 4 years ago but having more time to walk around was wonderful. I also made it back to Escondido on the bus I am now experienced with riding buses in the Southern California area :-)

On Tuesday I left and came back to Colorado and I've been relaxing here ever since until my next big trek back to Texas on July 7th. While I've been home I've been packing up my little apt and can't wait to move out of the hell hole I currently live in and up to better places.
