home

So we've been home for a couple of hours, and only to find that our laptop battery is shot. It won't live unplugged for more than an hour. Worse, it is the computer I use to upload and edit picture on. Which means no San Diego pictures for maybe a week since thats how long it takes to deliver a new battery! I am so sad! My lovely husband is trying to get the Photoshop we've had for a while to work on our Mac I am using now...for some reason the program will not download! I am really hoping that it will work since Photoshop is an awesome program and using the Mac is much better for artsy purposes.

back to the trip:

It was nice to get away. We had a short visit in San Diego. We got to stay with Chris' Aunt and Uncle who live in a lovely home right outside the city. It was really nice visiting with them. Sunday we wanted to leave around 3 am, but we woke up around 6 am. Whoops! We got in town around noon and had lunch with Aunt Adrienne and Uncle Jerry, got settled in, and then headed off to the beach. Or so we thought! We must have drove around for over an hour looking for parking at Mission Beach. The roads were crowded and we kept getting turned around. So we decided to go to Tiajuana for some shopping. Well we were there for about 5 minutes, literally, before Chris said 'We need to go, I don't think this is safe'. So we headed to another beach that was much quieter and very nice. Then we decided to have dinner downtown, since my friend and Chris' relative recommended the same Italian restaurant. Well, again, we got lost. Very lost this time! It seemed so easy to get lost because you can see where you want to go, but parking is so hard to find that you drive so far out of the way you can't find your way back! Haha. Monday we went to the beach all day, it was so nice. Today we left around 9 am, we planned on going to the Zoo for a few hours before hitting the road- but we were really tired. I am so sun burnt too, being in the heat more would've been so painful! AND- we stopped for gas before going to the Zoo and locked our keys in the car. Go figure. So we just went home.

Oh traveling is such an adventure! Well back to work tomorrow...and pictures, soon.......??? (lets hope!)
