I came up for a few minutes to pack some things and wanted to write something about my weekend in SD. I came down here again on Thursday after morning classes and lunch with my friend Alyssa (her 21st birthday!). It has been so nice seeing the family and spending quality time together. Sometime I think I take for granted seeing them, but then when we get a chance like this I realize how much I really do miss them when I'm at school. I hadn't seen Austin since Christmas!
We had an amazing/delicious/ (i'm in a food coma) brunch this morning at the hotel and are now spending the rest of the day in the sun. Friday we got to see Megan's friend Soraya and her parents for a hike along this gorgeous beach frontier and huge eroded clay walls called Torrie Pines. Don't worry, I took pictures! It was really pretty and not a sight I would have expected to see between Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego. Friday morning we also visited the San Diego Zoo... lots of fun! My favorites were either the giraffes or the elephants. And we saw "Leo the Lion" for Austin ;)
Yesterday was another pool day and we took the passenger ferry into the Gaslamp district for dinner. We ate at Ocean Air... delicious fish/seafood. The waitress messed up on my order and my fish came out 5 minutes later than everyone else's so to make up for it she brought us out complimentary desserts. Oh no, not just one but 3 very large desserts. It was like the dessert parade! I'm serious. We had a banana split the size of Austin, warm cookies and milk, and this huge tower called Baked Alaska which she set on fire. We were already SO FULL and were trying to make the 9pm ferry back to Coronado so we pounded those desserts and rolled out of there...
I think I'm going to try and leave by 4 so I can make it back to Redlands by the dinner hour. We have a delta meeting tonight (like every sunday) and since I missed last week's because I was here I feel obligated to go. When I get back I'll put up zoo/dinner/sunny pictures!!!
