San Diego May 2007
posted in Uncategorized |After a long and tough semester, Sarah had earned a well deserved vacation and we decided to go visit my sister in San Diego. Cyndee had to work on Friday, so Sarah and I went to our favorite attraction, the Zoo! We absolutely love this place, especially the hippos and the polar bear exhibits. There is something really cool about seeing such majestic and large animals underwater and up close! The elephants and sea lion show were also a lot of fun. After the zoo but before Cyndee got home, Sarah and I drove to La Jolla cove so I could get in a practice ocean swim in preparation for my Escape From Alcatraz triathlon in 3 weeks. After that, the three of us grabbed some burgers and then went to see Spiderman 3.
After a Saturday morning run, we went to eat a really popular brunch place called the Hash House. We then drove down to the Harbor and Seaport Village to see a street performers competition. The performers themselves were not as interesting as simply the scenery down there. We then went the Birch Aquarium and “Children’s Pool” in La Jolla. Children’s Pool is this small protected cove where a whole bunch of harbor seals lay around and play. After another nice meal at 60s diner called Corvettes, we just chilled at Cyndee’s place. It was a great, albeit short vacation.
