A few weeks ago we were very, very fortunate and got to visit O’Brien family in San Diego and Coronado. Here are some snapshots from our trip. (They are mostly from Balboa Park- the day I remembered my camera.)


Devin and the Segways (!!!)

Neat.

Pretty Tree

Smelling

Near the fake Globe Theatre

Adorable baby ducks at the San Diego Zoo

Bun I chased down on the lawn bowling field.

Don’t hold it against me that of all the amazing and beautiful wild creatures at the zoo, I took a picture of baby mallard ducks scrambling about on the sidewalk. It was just too cute. Devin got some good ones of the chimps and more extraordinary creatures, we even got a short movie of a chimp teenager running around with popcorn in his whiskers. I leave all that extra technical stuff up to him to post. Overall, our trip to SD was so much more than a trip to the zoo. We had days filled with adventures and got to spend time with relatives we see too rarely. I just can’t seem to remember to take pictures all the time. I will learn, promise.

I just got home from work to find that Devin’s name on our blog is way bigger than mine because he’s been posting more stuff than I have so here is my contribution to inflate my name (hahaha)- so here is what I’m up to.

Tomorrow I’m driving to Marysville to meet up with my good girlfriends who have all somehow moved to Seattle. None of us are from Marysville, but it seems to be about half way for all of us plus there’s coffee to drink and outlet shops to peruse and really we just need a place to hug and talk. We all used to live in a big house about 4 blocks from where Devin and I live now. A total of about 13 girls lived there all at once, but the 6 of us became pretty close and cannot be without each other for very long. Although one is in Lesotho right now being a noble member of the PeaceCorps and another can’t make it because family is visiting, it should be great fun anyway. I have tomorrow off so I will be loading up the car with good music and zipping (safely) down the freeway to see my lovelies. Hooray!!!

I’ve been working a lot this past week to make up for the vacation we took to San Diego a few weeks back, so not much else has been going on with me. Tonight our All Sports League has a basketball game which should be interesting since although quite vertically challenged, basketball is the only sport I have ever officially played on a team. Over the span of my 5th/6th grade career I touched the ball twice during a game and it was magical so I’m expecting that magic to reappear tonight. And I had a crush on Charles Barkley so maybe he’ll send me some good juju. Next week I’m going to work on trying to learn Dreamweaver for two reasons. First of all I’d like to be able to make my own fancy blog someday and because Dream Weaver is one of my favorite songs of all time. I’ll let you all know how this goes of course.

Here’s some other random information:

– I want to eat this.

-I want to make this.

-I want to read this.

Happy Saturday!
