my two weeks in san diego with my boys was amazing. we shared the perfect mix of adventure and lazy. i had debated what to do about renting a car, and decided to rent one for one week. but at the last minute, a friend of brandon's was "unable to drive his car" for about 6 weeks, so we paid him the amount i was going to spend on one week, and we got his car for two. it was our first experience driving a hybrid; made me feel like my parents learning a VCR... the Prius is a super space car. the electric motor is nearly silent, gets 50 mpg, and a fun nerdy part -- to unlock the doors, you just keep the key in your pocket and touch the door handle and boom, you're in.
the first week highlights included: going to a fabulous pretentious little gay bar where having a good sashay is a job requirement, yawning our way 2/3 of the way thru "Watchmen,"celebrating micah's 9th birthday, meeting several of b's new friends (9 of 10 were awesome to be around), went to Cabrillo National Monument, and saw "Julie & Julia" and then were forced to find as many old episodes of the French Chef as possible. if you haven't seen it, you must -- julia child is mesmerizing to watch.
note the delicate sailboats playing chicken with the nuclear submarine...
also have to mention something that happened before i went to california -- the incredible dinner i had with the shio parents. before going, i had a wet dream about mama making ratatouille but assumed frenchies have that all the time. but hold up! when i got there, i found an even more glorious meal before me -- ratatouille with sausage... needless to say, i hurt my belly that night.
