SAN DIEGO

Thurs Sept 1-Mon Sept 5

Labor Day....it has to be put to good use. What better way to use it than to go to San Diego. Right after Dan got out of school on Thursday we all jumped in the car and headed out on our 10 hour drive. Michael, Michelle, Aubrey, Dan and me all in my little red car. But, of course we had to stop for food. After our gourmet meal from our personal chef Wendy, we ran into a bus driver that was having trouble with his bus. So we helped him out and were on our way.

The drive wasn't too bad, but that could be contributed to the fact that Mike and Dan drove the whole time. Finally at five a.m we pulled into none other than John Becks driveway. That's right. Brandon and Chelsea live in the Becks house while they are in D.C. for the NFL season.

Friday:

We headed to the beach, ready for some sun and water. It was a little chillier than I thought it would be and there lies my mistake, I burnt, bad, but not before I was able to enjoy a great day at the beach. The waves were huge and so we body boarded for a while. The waves would take you all the way up to the beach. My favorite was when a wave threw my board on top of Brandon and we rode the wave all the way to the beach like that, it was pretty funny. We played a great round of 500 and some football. After the beach we went to the cliffs edge where para-sailers jump off the edge, it was so pretty. A good start to our Labor Day weekend. As you can imagine we were pretty tired after that so we had a good dinner out on the patio (Chelsea is a great cook). We even celebrated my upcoming birthday (sept. 5) with an amazing cake, once again made by Chelsea. Tired from a great day we all lounged around until bed.

Saturday:

We had debated for some time on what we wanted to do. We had really wanted to go to six flags but we realized that it would be really crowded and sadly I was burnt from the previous day. So instead we took it easy and the girls decided to go get pedicures but instead of driving we decided to use razor scooters and bikes, definitely a good choice! While we did that the boys went golfing, pretty typical right? What we did next, however, is not typical. We went back to the beach and rented what is called a surri, it is a bike made for six people but the genius folks we are fit seven. It was a lot harder to pedal that many people (even with four spots to pedal) than you would think and soon our energy dwindled but it was pretty fun to see the cars trying all lined behind us and people laughing at us.

Sunday:

Church started a little later so it was nice to lounge around and hang out with everybody. After church we once again ate a great meal and went for a great walk around the town. We then got in our pajamas ate cake and watched a movie. A nice and relaxing day.

Monday:

My Birthday...and a 10 hour drive back to Logan. Not too shabby of a trip, I think we'll have to do that one again :)
