Wow! Today was a huge day! I have a pounding headache, so I’m not going to write too much but to tell you that today I went to the San Diego Zoo. It was really cool! May (Tobin’s principal, Brett’s wife) was going to the zoo today so I tagged along. I saw lots and lots of animals, and took pictures of lots of them…
Well today I went on an adventure by bus. I took the Shuttle to the Conference Center where Tobin’s meetings are, rushed up the stairs of the train stop to buy a day pass, and then caught the bus to Frys and Walmart (about a half hour drive away). I bought a waterproof case at Frys and a thumb drive for Tobin (2 gigs, on sale for $19 and it’s a pretty sweet design with no parts you can lose!). Then I hoofed it over to Walmart and bought some sunglasses for Tobin, and a hat and a bunch of sunblock.
Well today I shopped but barely bought anything, and then we went on a tour of San Diego by trolley.
Well yesterday was Day 3 of our San Diego trip. We figured out the transit system enough to take us from Hotel #1 to Hotel #2, and then back downtown and back. Day tripper passes on the transit system cost $5, so I think we got our money’s-worth! :)
I’m pretty tired so I’m not going to write too much tonight… Today we went on a 2 hour harbor excursion, at lunch at a burrito place, took a tour of the Midway, went swimming (and almost crashed a wedding in our swimming suits – the ballroom is on the same floor as the pool), and ate dinner at the Kansas City BBQ (where the bar scene from Top Gun was filmed). My feet have blisters even though I wore my tennis shoes, but today was worth it. :) Tonight is our last night in the Hyatt, then we move North.
We sure packed a lot into this year’s Fourth of July! Since the Fourth fell on a Wednesday, we decided going to Ephrata (or anywhere for that matter) was probably not a very good idea. (Though Tobin’s on his summer break now, I’m still working). We ended up spending the entire day with Terry and Christina Fritsch. What a blast!
