San Diego-Discovered by the Germans in 1904...

Well Jocie and I just got back from a very beautiful and fun vacation to what Jocie calls paradise. We rented a beach house with my brother Dave's family and my parents and spent the week loving life. We ate at our favorite restaurants, attended a Padres baseball game, spent a lot of time at the beach, and even were recruited to play softball for some local law firm!



This was our ride. We packed light since there was very little trunk space.



Jocie and I sporting our San Diego Padres tatoos. Jocie posed and then realized that she resembled a very famous poster girl...



We attended a session and loved how beautiful it is inside.

This was at Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant in Old Town. Fish Tacos anyone?




We spent an afternoon on Coronado Island. We walked around the haunted Hotel del Coronado and loved spending time with the fam.




The sand on the beach is so fine you have to stroll through it barefoot.

This was Jocie's plate of Sushi that she split with our niece Irie. Irie had never had Sushi but was excited to try it. She loved it, and we all know how much Jocie loves it.. Just look at the pictures!





Jocie before eating her delicacy... and afterward.


We found a bike shop, since I have bike buying fever, and I test rode this Giant and was very impressed. The geometry and the shock were amazing. Never would have thought that from a Giant. (Of course then the salesman had me ride a $4,000 Santa Cruz and I was blow away.. I'll just keep saving my pennies.)



Our Love erosion. Similar to the love rock that Jocie and I found in a river bed while we were dating..

Our Nephew Jaxon. I would get him to tell Jocie throughout the trip to hurry up or that we were leaving. He would just yell "Jocie, WE'RE LEAVING!!!" and that way I would get in trouble and everyone would just laugh.



And some highlights from our beach time. We built a Mermaid. Not a Merman, and yes she is holding her bottled water.


Jocie's cute new swimsuit...one of...
