Darn Good Dinner

well our weekend vacation was a BLAST. went to san diego with Eric, his friend, and his girlfriend.
Even had a sitter for Nike (who cleaned the house for us and did the dishes and watered our plants, what a guy!)
so we started out just going to the beach on the 4th, laying in the sun, turning into lobsters, drinking beers and mikes and Jack Honey with Monsters. cooking hotdogs over an open grill (i even thought about eating a hotdog, but instead i decided id rather not.) - does anyone know if Kosher hot dogs are actually better than regular hot dogs?? i have a real problem with any meat  that you can not identify by animal or place from the body in which it came (i.e nuggets, patties, sticks...none of it can be good news)
     we never even made it out to fire works, between the 50 shades of red all over our backs, heat exhaustion and drinking, we were in bed before 9pm (my goodness i feel old). but thats ok, seaworld does fireworks every night, and fire works arent even that cool.

next day got up went to sea world, -for free might i add, actually just eric and i got it for free with his "Hero discount"(my husbands a HERO how cool!) it was pretty cool though. that night we went to old town to this little mexican area and had the time of our lives. to which i realized i was for sure Mexican in another life. plus they had pitchers of Margaritas for $19 (big pitchers too, like 6 or more glasses per pitcher) averaged out to like $2 a glass, i think.

next day we got up (little margarita head ache couldnt slow us down) and we went to the bay area where all the ships are, and we toured this USS thing from the 1950s, it was cool, but pretty sure the boys thought it was way more fun than the girls did. then we walked around the pier place.

then we went to old town again to tour the Whaley House- which is the most haunted house in the US or something. i didnt think it was all that creepy (which i thought i would cuz dead people FREAK me out) the only thing i thought was creepy was there was a glass on a table next to a pitcher, and when we first went into the room i specifically looked at it, and it was clear empty glass. then we listened to this guy talk about the house for like 10 minutes and for some reason my eye kept getting drawn back to the glass, and after about 5 or so minutes it got like frost, like there was real cold water in the glass. - usually i dont REALLY believe a lot of this stuff, but it was really weird, im sure there is some reason for it, but we even noticed it in pictures- the pictures from when we first walked in the glass was clear, and then later pictures show it a little foggy. -- we also met a lady and her husband there, she claimed to be a psychic or something like that and she pretty much walked in, freaked out (not really she just said she didnt want to be there any more) and left, leaving her husband behind. he laughed and said that its always funny to him when they go places and she gets "readings" or what ever they are called. so that was pretty cool
then we continued to walk around old town, went to a little swap meet thing, then joined back up at the mexican place for some music, chips salsa and guac, and those pretty little margaritas (and a few shots of tequila!, when in mexico right!?)
then we woke up, and headed home.

boom- moral of the story, go to san diego, and especially go to san diego with a military card, because everything is free (kinda)
