San Diego

Well, I would post about Rocky Point too, but we lost the pictures. I didn't take very many since each day was full of laying on the beach or standing in the ocean (perfect way to spend 4 days). But, we had them saved on our external hard drive but I didn't burn a CD yet and now our external hard drive died. We have the worst luck with computer stuff. It won't turn on at all so we don't know if the company is going to be able to save our stuff off of it. We'll see. But Mike was able to recover my favorite Vegas pictures that got erased from our memory stick somehow (threw that one away and had to get a new one). But anyways, we visited Angie and Lonnie in San Diego over the 4th of July weekend and we had a great time. We didn't do the big stuff like Sea World, zoo, etc because I knew it would be crazy on a holiday weekend. Plus, we did those last time we went to San Diego. We wanted to just hang out, catch up and relax. And that's exactly what we did. We got there Friday and grabbed lunch. Then Mike and I took a nap since we had been up since 4am and I had worked the night before. That night Lonnie and Angie made a delicious dinner. Saturday Angie and I checked out the scrapbook store and the guys killed some time while we were there. After shopping, we went to a lighthouse (can't remember the name) up on the hill and went to a cool military cemetery there. Then we hung out at the house until the afternoon and we headed toward downtown. We had some great seafood at a restaurant and then went to a park down by the water. We spread out some blankets and hung out until the fireworks started. The fireworks were really cool. There were 4 different barges with fireworks and they were all going simultaneously. It was neat to see them all going off. Sunday Angie and I scrapbooked. Mike and Lonnie went a couple places, including the fire station so Mike could trade some shirts. Then that night we went on a dinner cruise around the harbor. It was very nice. The food was soooo good, plus cheesecake for dessert. The view of downtown at night was pretty. We really enjoyed the cruise. It was a perfect way to end our time there. Monday morning we got up, packed our things and headed home. And of course, here are some pictures.

Our kitchen

The kitchen is almost done! We still need to do the backsplash (we haven't decided exactly what we're going to do yet) but that's about it. I absolutely love it. It looks so much bigger and nicer. Mike did an awesome job on everything.




The granite black reddish-brown spots and veins of lighter colors. It complements the cabinets perfectly.
