greetings to bloglandia. a place rarely visited by this writer, except for once a month, apparently.
want an update anyone? here you go:
so the month of june here was relatively uneventful as far as our lives were concerned. it was nice. one of our goals for this month was to work on going on date nights- since up till now we had both been so busy we were barely finding time for eachother! luckily, summertime in san diego offers a plethora of events that are perfect for dates.
#1: we went to the del mar fair (er, "san diego county fair" if we want to be politically correct here), wherein we walked around looking at pigs, roosters, cows, and pregnant women (a lot of them! everywhere!). but lets get to the real reason for visiting the fair: THE FOOD. of which we sampled an awful array: fried avocado, fried oreos, fried kirspy kreme chicken sandwich, hamburgers, fries... oh, there was another thing, what was it....? oh yes. BBQ'd corn (almost forgot the healthy thing. who goes to the fair for the healthy things?). rest assured that someone also had a draft of alka-seltzer upon arriving back home for the evening, as he had seemed to have acquired some indigestion (i was fine).
ugh. this is exactly how i felt after the fair.
#2: a couple weeks later, chris and i had an opportunity to go downtown for dinner and a visit to seaport villiage for some touristing, after a lovely dinner at McCormick & Schmick's (thanks to phil velsor & co). it was a little damp and chilly down there at sunset, but the mist gave the lights at the village a rather whimsical twinkle. chris is still very awed by san diego, which strikes me as kinda cute. :) i guess i've never fully appreciated the city because it's all i've really known my whole life.
this dude balanced rocks for real at seaport village.
chris pretends he's got one of these on all the time. haha! :)
#3: the infamous sea world. because chris really really wanted to go. turns out that sea world isn't all that i remember it to be 17 years ago... i think the amount of kiosks and rides and such things now outnumber the amount of sea animal exhibits- which is somewhat disappointing. but i guess people like that nowadays, because the place was crowded. anyhow, we didn't stay for very long. the shark encounter was closed and the stinging let-down was too much for both of us to handle. ;)
these guys are fun to watch.
piranhas anyone? they looked hungry...
other mention-worthy things that happened this month: jury duty for chris and high school graduation for my little brother grant (i'm proud of that kid).
all my sibs (except 1) at grant's graduation!
