tonight jamie and i found a sports bar so that we could watch our teams play FOOTBALL.  go byu! jamie had said that with her t-shirt she was wearing, she could get any guy to change the channel for us.  right she was.  the boob shirt works every single time. every. :) go jamie!

these were some guys we met in the bar,  jamie was proposed to multiple times by the same guy.  the boob shirt strikes again!

san diego padres game!

today i walked over the city again.  i love san diego!  it is such a fun city.  although, it is still hotter than can be imagined!  we enjoyed lunch at this fun 50's diner.  it was delicious! tonight, san diego padres game.

emergency nurses conference: san diego

my friend jamie and i are in san diego for the weekend, and what a beautiful weekend it is! jamie is here for the emergency nurses conference.  i am here because she has a free hotel and, my airfare was paid for by frequent flyer miles. thank you very much delta airlines!  yay for almost free trips!! today i spent the entire day acquainting myself with the gas-lamp district and the boardwalk.  for some reason, on this crazy weekend here in san diego, they have crazy record-breaking temps.  it is over 100 here today.  so stinkin hot.

i found the coolest spot in all of san diego, the grass by the sea.  the breeze was helping.

there is a guy who balances all of these rocks by the sea.  pretty amazing

gaslamp district

i love this neighborhood
