San Diego!
Oi,
Last weekend T and I went to San Diego. The Spoil Rottens came up and enjoyed the company of Z and A. We didn't do the relaxation thing very well but we filled the trip with fun and food. It was really nice to get away. We stayed in Little Italy at a "boutique" hotel. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be but they had this woman on the wall of our bedroom staring at us while we slept.
Upon arrival we set out to discover the town. SD has a rail system so we bought passes and went to the Gaslamp District. We walked around and purchased a shirt for T. We found a Ghirardelli Ice cream shop. We ate that.
Then we walked around some more.
We walked down to a pier to eat at a fancy fish place on the waterfront. There was a park and some big boats. One of them was the Midway which in a brilliant turn of Americanism is now a cafe and tourist attraction.
I had to.
We ate at the fancy fish place. I had proscuitto and scallop skewers, and T had red snapper something. It was delicious. Afterward they were retiring a flag on a ship so sailors and women got all dressed up and saluted something that we could really figure out. (I'm guessing about the flag thing)
We then walked back to the Train and took that to the hotel then drove to old town for a ghost tour. This guy claimed that he had all these "experiences" and he would take us around and tell us about all of the haunted stuff, graveyards, hangings etc. First we tooled around the shops until it was time to hunt some ghouls.
We set out on our adventure. The primary stops were the Whaley House Where people were hung by the hundreds and a graveyard that the City of San Diego paved over 1/2 of it. Here is a picture of our Tour Guide, an official Ghost Hunter. He is telling us about a vortex near the Whaley house were spirits cross over to our side. He looks possessed, I got all the proof i need.
T sees a ghost!!!
At the end he showed us his collected evidence. It was a ball of light, some "orbs" and a bunch of muffled sounds. We were terrified by that point.
Did I say terrified? I meant Tired.
The next morning we woked up and had brunch then drove home. It was a really fun trip.
Till next time (A's 1st B-day)

A mess of any type.
Howdy Ya'll,
We're still truckin'.
T is back at work. I am back at work. The kids are mostly happy, Z is 2. We spend most of our day trying to clean up after them. They enjoy messes.
This week we had an insane thunderstorm, the wrath and fury of which cannot be captured on video. As proof I offer this:
The winds were 60MPH, the lightning was crazy, the street turned to a rushing flood of debris and dust. It was trash day. Here is the result.
That tiny blue speck is my trash can as seen from my driveway. Weird that it was still standing. When it rains like that everything here turns into huge puddles.
Now for the best news! Football (the real kind) is back! Here are the kids rocking their team spirit.
Random.
bedee,bedee,bedee,
That's all folks.
