Second half: San Diego, California

My Grandma had rented us a beach house that was walking distance of the ocean. It was awesome! I was kind of expecting it to be a little junky, a little sandy, but it was so nice! There were gorgeous flowers front and back yard and it had a water fall in the huge backyard. There was a ping pong table and darts out on the deck, it was fully stocked with boogie boards, a surf board and beach bikes! It was freakin sweet! (Thanks Grandma!) Well the first thing we did Monday is spend the day at the beach- I haven't been to San Diego in a couple years so I was expecting it to be SOOO hot like Nebraska was but it was just the opposite. It was high 70's most of the days and only one day it was kinda chilly. It was the perfect weather just to lay on the beach all day! The water-however- was so cold that you would just jump in wait for your body to go numb then start enjoying it! :o) I also forgot how salty the ocean is- Then Tues we went to SEAWORLD! Mike has never been there and it has been years for me! It was so much for though! We went to all of the show and all of the exhibits! We spent like 10 hours there! So Wed was of coarse the beach again and then on Thurs we were on a kayaking tour of La Jolla beach. It was beautiful out there and there is some monstrous houses too! We met a family of sea lions that live off the coast and even got to tour a small cave that walls shimmered different colors- it was REALLY cool. Friday was more beach and that night Mike and I met up with his brother Ryan and wife Anna who live out in Cali. They took us to get sushi and unfortunately for me, who doesn't like ANY sea food, that was an adventure. There were actually some ok rolls and I made it through dinner :o) Finally Sat came and we had to fly home, it was pretty sad- i love it there.

So after we got home and unpacked and all that fun stuff we (Emily and Jeff also) went to the GOOD CHARLOTTE concert! Yay! We bought the tickets a long time ago because i really like them! They came with a small band called The Maine, who weren't bad, Metro Station, who i actually kind of like I just know their one song on the radio, Boys Like Girls, who were pretty good and Good Charlotte was awesome! It was so much fun!
Next up on our list of tours: Motley Crue and James Taylor :o)
