Um...Choochooooooooo



This train was right outside our hotel in San Diego. We knew there was a train (we read all the hotel reviews) but had NO idea it was going to be this loud and go by so frequently. Too funny!

Monsoon season!!!!!



Last night was the first big storm of the monsoon season. It was pretty crazy. The air was full of dust (which all ended up in our pool...grose) and it was still 100+ degrees when the storn hit. There was literally a wall of dust that swept across the valley. I like the storm, but hate the humidity that it brings!

San Diego Trip!

Ryan and I both decided that if the cost of living wasn't so dang high we would totally live in San Diego. That place is AWESOME!!!! We had a wonderful weekend; the weather was perfect (totally loved the 70 degree temperatures) and it was so nice to get out of town. It's weird to think that it was probably one of the last trips we will take together, just the two of us.

Literally 10 minutes after we pulled out of the driveway I had to pee! Ryan told me I was not allowed to drink anything else the rest of the way there :) We had a nice little road trip and I only made him stop 3 times haha Best food combo in my life right now...fresh pineapple and pickles! and the funniest quote of the trip "You have me eating like a pregnant chick" My husband makes me laugh!

Our first night there we took a walk down on the harbor. Our hotel was literally right across the street and we went and looked at the Navy ships. I didn't realize that San Diego was so artsy! Then we went and had dinner in Little Italy.




On Saturday morning we met up with Ryan's aunt Karen and his cousins Elizabeth and Erika for breakfast, checked out Coronado Island and then headed up to La Jolla to hang out at the beach and check out the seals. Not gonna lie, soaking my feet in the cold ocean was beyond wonderful!





Sunday was Zoo day!!!! I have never been to a "real" zoo, so I was super excited about going! It was a perfect day too, it was a little overcast and temps were perfect! We did a LOT of walking (lots of hills) and by the end of the day this girl was beat and my feet were killing me! We met up with Ryan's second cousin and his family and hung out with them for a few hours, it was a great day!






teehee If you think this is inappropriate, you should have heard them! Hilarious!!!


We waited in line for EVER to see this little guy! Totally worth it!

Ryan said there is a whole lotta Kung Fu in this picture haha don't mind the huge, sweaty pregnant chick on the right...


After the zoo we met up with my relatives for dinner at Hash House a Go Go (as seen on Man vs. Food) and had a delicious meal.





Unfortunately our little get-a-way had to come to an end. Neither of us wanted to come home to the heat. The whole way I kept saying "what the temp now?" It was 110 here...yuck! Can't wait to go back to San Diego...next time little Rylee will get to go with us! Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
