Visitors

The terrestrial type, that is...

About a month (2?) ago, we celebrated James' birthday and had an awesome time!





Then Dan and Bri came all the way from Ohio to visit! (okay, they were driving through, but they chose us over the quicker, potentially hazardous-snow-covered-chains-and-delays northern route!) It was Bri's first visit to San Diego and we welcomed her with a bit of rain and some wind ;) The first night we decided to walk to Garnet Street without umbrellas or rain gear. So we arrived a bit wet!


Peggy joined us on Garnet St - she found us drinking margaritas at Fred's Mexican Cafe. We'll have to get our faces air brushed on velvet another time. We just weren't up for the 50 tequilas that night!


As usual, we play tricks on Peggy when she comes to visit. Maybe we'll be home? Probably not! At least this time she had her cell phone charged up so didn't have to pay $10.75 into dirty pay phones to find us.
 
Day 2 we went to La Jolla to walk around... as on queue, the sun came out for us.



Who's fault is it? San Andreas'!  ;) (actually, I don't know the name of it - but they are standing right on a potential epicenter of the next quake. They look happy about it. Oh, new love.)





We ventured down to the former kid's swimming area to take a look at the seals! We lucked out and a bunch of them were sunning themselves on the beach. There were also many small little guys.




Where's Peggy? Where's Kersti?




Happy campers



Happy couple



Peggy and Billy enjoying the surf!



Nice Tree



I think this picture is great - maybe the the seal on the rock and the seal in the water are listening to some special message that we can't hear?!



Julia and Kersti back in La Jolla on yet another sunny day.




Julia came down from Santa Cruz for the long presidents weekend. We had a wonderful time!



We went walking in Torrey Pines State Park - it was spectacular!!! We thought it was going to be some thick forest, but little did we know it was a lovely park with the most enormous ocean views we've ever seen.









So bright! San Diego is too sunny.
