San Diego

Chris and I had a 4 day off vacation from the Melodrama so we headed down to San Diego...well Escondido to visit my Uncle Steve and his girlfriend Pam and see their new BEAUTIFUL home.  We had an amazing time and can't wait to go back! I took somewhere around 250 pictures so i'll put the album at the end of this post. We went to Stone Brewery, which is one of Chris' favorite beer makers and took a tour of the brewery.  That night Steve grilled some great steaks and Chris and I made havarti and proscuitto wrapped asparagus, garlic parmesan salad, and garlic bread. Delicious!Tuesday was Sea World day. So fun! We were sad that the trainers no longer get in the water at the Shamu show but understand it's for their own safety.  The new dolphin show is incredible.  It's not part dolphin show part cirque de soleil-esq. They had trapeze artists and high dive jumpers, the works! Just beautiful. That night we met Steve and Pam in Old Town and had great Mexican food. Wednesday we went to Del Mar and walked on the beach, strolled through Balboa Park, and then went into the Gaslamp Quarter and went to the Melting Pot and had a fondue dinner.  Thursday was our trip home and we decided to take the I5 back home and stop in downtown Disney for lunch.  We'll we got a wild hair during lunch and decided to put our season passes to good use and run into the park ride Tower of Terror then get back in the car.  Just because we can! Such a great vacation! Steve and Pam, if you're reading... Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

I just learned how to embed the slideshow into my blog, let me know how you like it.  If it was better just posting the link for you to click on we can always go back to that. I just thought this was pretty neat! It starts when you click the play button and will scroll through automatically, but if you want to slow down and look picture by picture just use the right and left controll arrows and/or the pause button :)
