California Dreamin: Good food, great friends!


We arrived here in the beautiful San Diego, CA on Tuesday after our 6 hour drive from Vegas where we are visiting one of my best friends Jenna and her fiance, Chris. Jenna and I met when we were in Paris together, and she also went to JMU so it's great to see the different places we have been together. It's funny to think that in order to see her in her new home town, we had to drive across the country, but it truly is the best way to do it!

Jenna had a whole list of things for us to do and see when we got here. She welcomed us with dinner that she had made which was delicious and a great change from the food we have been eating on the road. Then we went to the beach to watch the sun set- a bit of a change from what Dan and I are used to. It was truly beautiful and we got lots of pictures. The next day we spent some time at Coronado Beach and La Jolla, again taking pictures and seeing as much of the city as possible in the short time we have. That night we finally got to meet Jenna's fiance, Chris and we all went out for pizza which was a lot of fun!

Today Dan and I went to the San Diego Zoo which was awesome! We love doing stuff like that, and although somewhat pricey, it was definitely worth it. The Sea Lion show was the best part- they were so cute!

And now, for our last night here we are having another home-cooked meal with Jenna and Chris... good old fashioned meatloaf and mashed potatoes- mmm! It has been such an amazing time being here, truly a great place to visit and live, especially when there are great people to see. Next stop: LA!

  1. Last time Dan was in San Diego he was camping in August... and it was the 1st time in 7 years it rained in San Diego in August. That was 20 years ago!!! He went to the zoo back then too - how did it compare to this time Dan? :)
