San Diego (A.K.A. Sunny D)

No time for relaxation. Friday was our first full day at Home and it was not a slow one. I believe I woke up at 5 AM (thinking it was 7 AM because of the time difference) and began cleaning. I unpacked all of the kitchen gifts, washed them, and put them where they needed to go in cabinets. Then it was on to the living room and bedrooms. By the time 8:00 PM rolled around it was looking a little more decent and I decided to take all the rest of the junk and put it in boxes so I could stack them and make it look somewhat normal...because....at 10:30 Lizzo flew in to visit!!!!

I made Micah be the taxi driver so I could shower before she arrived. But then it was chill time while the three of us sat and chatted in front of the T.V. And then shortly after it was off to bed. In the morning we all got up and got ready so we could head off to the zoo. Micah was not too thrilled about the upcoming adventure but he came along for some quality Whitney/Liz/Micah time. And what a time it was. Liz and I were like 4 year olds at the zoo and loved every moment of it! Micah seemed to enjoy himself as well.

Mr. Panda Bear....laying in the shade looking ohhh sooo fluffy

Some really messed up animal...Part Zebra part Horse...they need to stop this mixed breeding stuff...haha But it looks cool

Guess what this is.....Oh Ok I will have to tell you. It's 2 Hippo butts...I though their tails looked funny...haha
Hello HIPPO
Little Baby Panda in the tree...So sweet

After the zoo we cooled off a bit a headed to our favorite little Mexican place….Miguel’s on Coronado Island, which is apparently everyone’s favorite little Mexican place because we had to wait 1 ½ hours (but it was worth it!!) Then we headed back home for bed….worn out doesn’t even begin to describe how we felt. And then at 5 AM Micah woke me up as he headed off to the Airport for a business trip. Yes we are home for 2 days and he leaves me fore 10 days. He will be visiting Belgium, Slovakia, France, and Chicago….BOO

But Lizzo stayed with me again Sunday and Monday so I was not too lonely. We ventured out to IKEA and Wal-Mart on Sunday. Learning to drive in a big unfamiliar city without Tom-Tom was a slightly nerve wrecking experience…but we made it with no injuries :o) Then it was off to the pool to catch some sun and relax. And of course, we finished off the day with some Cold Stone Ice Cream. Monday was then my first day driving downtown San Diego and parallel parking (in this city anyhow). Again it was a safe experience….And I went with Liz to check into her hotel (she was supposed to be here on business anyhow so she just have them fly her here early so she got a free vacation out of the deal ….smart girl) We wandered up and down streets looking in shops and checking out restaurants and coffee shops. Then it was Goodbye for now as I headed back home to finish up some cleaning and head to bed.

Now it is a week filled with “Thank You” note writing, more unpacking and organizing, looking for a job, and packing for the Honeymoon (which is on the 13th, and don’t ask me where because I don’t know due to it being a surprise).

I cannot wait for my Hubby to be home in a week!!!
