My kids just love the Balboa Park. December Nights in Balboa Park is one annual family event we try to enjoy every year. So this time we are going to San Diego to check out the festivities in Balboa Park on December 4th and 5th. Balboa Park is delightfully lit up with sparkling lights. The best part is a chance to savor lip smacking delicacies from different countries ranging from ...

... remember the Seaport Village and the Marriott Hotel we stayed in.

From there we drove to the Gaslamp Quarter. We had pizza and watched football in a tiny corner shop for Thanksgiving dinner, then went to the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop. Logan had a regular ice cream sundae and I had a peanut butter and dark chocolate sundae. A good food day and a lot to be thankful for.

... of armadillos comes up. I'm pretty sure I didn't eat an armadillo, because she asked me if I wanted beef or pork, but who knows? We were bored after a couple hours in Rosarito, so we decided to hit the road again and head south toward Ensenada.

... We pulled in and everyone was speechless. The campus nearly takes up the whole city. The football stadium is nestled in between two mountains, and the one canyon Has a gigantic yellow "A" on it that you can see for miles away. We took a walk through campus, picked up some information, and gave ourselves a tour. Amie and Sarah are getting thier applications ready ;).
After we visited ASU we decided to check out Phoenix. We stopped at a hotel to ask where was a ...

My medicine is now stowed and takes up a whole large toilet bag, not too bad. Everyone that knows me is wishing me well and a good rest not before time! We hope for a few guests, to kick the season off. Vicky and Pingo are getting married in Acapulco,so we hope they can make it for their honeymoon!

... attendants (who I chatted up half way through the flight) was nice enough to make me instant mashed potatoes. Seriously, one of the best moments in my travels. Goes to show that it always pays to be nice to people, you never know! It was hard to go back to work today. Very surreal. Tonight I will meet my former roommates for 1/2 priced burgers at the Crystal City Sports Pub. I miss my old neighborhood. It is good to be home. Although "home" is a relative ...

... carrier that has been turned into a museum. We got to see inside of the boat as well as lots of planes parked up on the deck, it's so huge it's hard to believe you're still on a boat. We're staying in the Little Italy part of town, which is a cool neighbourhood with lots of Italian restaurants. We're still trying to figure out if the waiters really are Italian or not, they all have really strong accents but the only Italian they seem to know is "Buon Apetito ...

... We then went to lineup to get tickets to go in. We each bought single admission tickets for $65 each and then we headed in like little kids all excited. First we went on the skytower to enjoy the view of the entire park. Then we went on many rides and watched many shows. One of the most entertaining attraction was the Wild Artic Ride. It was a motion-based flight in the artic avoiding many dangerous Artic Hazards. It was a wild one ...
