San Diego, Day 4

It's our final day in San Diego. The weather was sunny and around 60 degrees. After class Jeff and I had dinner and then packed and retired early for the evening since we have to get up at 5:30am tomorrow and head to the airport. Unfortunately, my schedule didn't allow us to fully enjoy the city, but we definitely got a flavor of it.

While it was a nice mini-vacation, we are really looking forward to going home, even if snow and cold weather is expecting us there.

Another long day in class, followed by a looong walk around the marina and dinner with coworkers and their spouses. Here are a few pictures.

San Diego, Day 2

Today I had my first class. Jeff joined me for lunch. He then picked me up after class and we went shopping and ate dinner at a nice Indian restaurant. The weather was dreary, cold and windy. Hoping tomorrow is better.

San Diego, Day 1

I got a training opportunity at work that took me to San Diego this week. I wanted to take that time and also make it a mini babymoon for my husband and I. So here we are! A nice time to escape winter in Iowa.
The flight was rough and uncomfortable, so we were very beat by the time we reached the hotel. Most of the afternoon/evening was spent resting and exploring the neighborhood a little. Here are a few pictures.

Tomorrow I'm starting my classes and then I'm spending the afternoon/evening with my hubby. Stay tuned!

Oregon - Day 5

On Friday we left the coast and headed to Central Oregon - back to my cousin's house. The views on our way back where breathtaking.  Once home, we had a little party with some of my cousin's friends. We had a great time. This is such a beautiful state. I would love to return someday.
