The weekend of Valentine's day (and Tony's birthday) was absolutely wonderful. A great friend from college, Brittni, came to visit and fun ensued. You can read about her account of the weekend here. In case you were curious, Tonster bought me a dozen roses for Valentine's day :).
She gave a very thorough description of the weekend on her blog, but I'm going to give you my take as well.
First, we picked up Brittni from the airport on Saturday morning, trolled around the beach and around Balboa park for a bit, ate at a fabulous vegan restaurant, Nature's Express, and enjoyed the wonderful San Diego weather.
I then cooked for 87.5 hours. Okay, not really THAT many hours, but it sure did feel like it. It was down to the wire, people! I was sweating profusely by the time some of my small group girlfriends arrived. Attractive. They were all excited to hang out with Brittni and Tony, eat good bruschetta, eggplant parmesan, strawberry shortcake and King Cake, and play with Saffron!
Yum.
Sunday morning we went to church, and then ate far too much at the soup/salad buffet, Souplantation. Brittni then needed to run 1 kabillion miles to train for her half marathon (which is this weekend!! Hooray Brittni!). I was all "YEAH! LET'S DO THIS!!!"
1 mile later I was convinced that I was dying. The end. Brittni continued to run, while I decided to write my will in the trail dirt.
At some point we also made a little visit to La Jolla cove and the Children's Pool, where the seals were resting and playing. I wanted to hug them, and Brittni suggested that I should not. I also managed to embarrass myself by attempting to parallel park and ended up diagonal, 5 feet away from the curb with old ladies yelling directions at me. Sigh.
Brittni went to my small group with me Sunday night, which meant a lot to me. I was happy.
Monday we made a trek to Julian, CA to eat some pie, walk around, and then eat some more pie. Then we drove another 30 miles on super curvy roads (yaay) to get to the Borrego desert. We took about 15 jumping pictures, none of which were any good.
We did manage to take this beauty. Look closely at our shadow. Remind you of anything? :)
It was a spectacular weekend, and it made me want to live significantly closer to New Orleans.
