Labor Day Weekend SD style!

 Last weekend I went down to San Diego to spend Labor day weekend with my sister (and her hubby). We started out the weekend right with some Friday night YOGA in her living room and girl talk with our friend Mary who was also in SD visiting. Our Friday night YOGA session revealed that I can now do a hand stand! I've been working up to it and now I can do it! Woot, woot! Saturday morning after homemade waffles we headed to the beach.
 Here we are enjoying the sunshine.
 Mary and her BF joined us. Here we are looking the like the beach babes we are.
 Besties....3 out of 5 isn't bad. The weather was gorgeous, the waves were perfect, and the company was superb!
 After the beach we went back to B & C's apartment and prepared kabobs and B and I swam while Cameron BBQ's the bobs....so delicious.
 On Sunday I went to church with B & C. Turns out everyone in SD thinks SD is utopia. It's a great place don't get me wrong...but it's still a city.  Honestly attending a family ward full of people I don't know taking about their families for 3 hours, it made me grateful for my mid singles ward. It's a great place to be when you're mid and single....better for the soul than a family ward. Here's B and I in our Sunday best.  After church we played games just like we did growing up. Good times.
 On Monday we made breakfast again and then spent the day with our good friend Bekah. Here we are taking the train to old town SD.
 Bekah and I on the train.
 We toured Old town SD...in one the museums there was this pic of the native Americans...does the name sound familiar....like maybe Nephites?
 We stopped to see the donkeys....Bekah wasn't scared at all unlike some others who were deathly afraid of being bit...Cough (brianna) cough.
 We tried on some really great hats.
B looking sassy. 
  Looking oh so SD.
 We also found these great shirts...and for those that know how much we love dogs you know we were all about these.
 I found this really great bumper sticker...who doesn't want to brag about their dog for all to see?
 At work our team all call each other "boss"... I'm always telling pt's that my coworkers are "el jefe" which is "the boss" in Spanish. I couldn't resist a pic in this gem of a hat.
 Who does want to remember Jesus in ball cap form.
 We stopped by the candy shop...and I got the perfect mix of deliciousness...just enough of each type of candy. Since I don't eat much candy these days I was flying high after with a sugar rush.
 We also went to the Mormon Battalion center...if you've never been there before GO it's amazing, fun, interactive and entertaining. After our tour we got to pan for gold.
 Here's Cameron with the gold we panned.
 After our hard work panning for gold we went and got fresh tortillas made by this woman right there. They make fresh tortillas in many flavors: chocolate, cinnamon, strawberry, flour and corn. They are 2 for $1 and they are pretty much the best thing that ever happened to me. I was in LOVE.
After tortillas we went and got real food. While we were waiting for our food to arrive these gents came and sang to us. Such a great day. Such a great weekend.

There is something about being from San Diego that makes you think it is amazing. I have not lived there for over 12 years and I still think it is amazing. I guess they brain wash you when you are really young there. ;)
