I felt so busy yesterday I didn’t really give a recap of San Diego-
The trip started with both J and I getting sick after the awards banquet we held on Saturday night. And although we were supposed to leave our house at 3 am to get to the airport, both of us were so sick we wouldn’t have made it out of bed. So we didn’t leave until Monday, drugged up on dramamine.
This started out our trip a little stressful, and when we arrived the guy in charge of the range was stressed too…and stayed stressed the entire event. Running matches is obviously not his full time job as there were a lot of key things he forgot about. For example a rule book. There were no rules for this match. We just flew by the seat of our pants for 2 weeks figuring out exactly what he wanted. The only highlight of work might be that the Marines thought J was Special Forces since he had a beard, and were shocked when he wasn’t.
Aside from all the work drama we did get to see some cool stuff and eat a lot of great seafood (after only eating soup for the first week)
We went to the Southwest most point of the continental US, where both of our phones received a text message saying “Welcome to Mexico! Txt messages will not be $0.50”.
We saw baby seals laying on the beach, the USS Midway carrier, Rosecrans National Cemetary, surfers, the sunset over the ocean, Hollywood blvd and Rodeo Drive, the Hollywood sign in the mountains and a few studios in Burbank. Overall it was a good trip, although we were both very ready to come home at the end.
I can’t really say that I’d want to go back to San Diego again, now that I’ve been there, there wasn’t anything I’d need to see again. After putting my hands in Marylin Monroes prints I’m feeling pretty set on Southern California… now maybe we’ll have to see the Northern part.
