Jackson likes golf- A LOT. Well, he used to like it more, but he still likes it now. He's really good at it, too. I like to brag. :) He's an awesome teacher and maybe one day I'll be good, too. That day will come when I practice, lose my perfectionism and have a decent knee. Shoot. Check back on that one. Anyway, right outside of San Diego in La Jolla is a gorgeous course called Torrey Pines. It was the site of the U.S. Open in 2008. (They're really proud of that fact.) It was super rainy here this morning and the course was closed. We still got to see it and visit the pro shop. Jackson got a nice golf shirt and a ball. I don't collect golf stuff so I passed. I love the course, though. I had a hook up for Jackson to play this weekend, but he did not want to use all of our time together to play. Sweet. I wish he would have played though. The place was awesome.
Me, in the pouring rain, hanging out next to the Rolex clock.
This is a sneak peek at the course. As you can see it was extremely wet today! It had some awesome rolling hills and cliff views.
On our way to Torrey Pines we saw a really nasty car accident. There was a man on the side of the road being worked on by emergency personal. It was clear to us that he was dead. That was really scary and sad. I imagine that he had a family at home that is pretty sad tonight. God bless them.
In-n-Out Burger is a very popular restaurant here in the West. Jackson likes their burgers and fresh cut fries. I hate burgers so I watched him eat. It is kind of a crazy fast food place because it only has burgers. No chicken. No fish. Nothing. Burgers. Only.
We decided to spend the day in Coronado. It is a barrier island off of San Diego. It is really nice. This a photo of Jackson all bundled up on the windy beach. It was so chilly! The beach is still awesome. We spent some time walking around the pier and watching a guy surf. He was a bad surfer and I was disappointed.
San Diego has a cool park district that is full of museums, walking paths and their zoo. No, we did not go to the zoo. I do not love the zoo like some people seem to. I do not care if it is the best zoo ever. I do not want to go. It is overpriced, too. I did get to see a video of 2 giant turtles going at it during Meg and Kyle's trip to the zoo. Classic. We walked through the area and really enjoyed it. Another gorgeous area tucked in the middle of a city.
We came to the airport early because of security being a nightmare when we landed on Saturday. This place is a mad house. Honestly. Luckily, our flight is not delayed yet so we are hoping to sleep in our own bed tonight. MacKenzie can stay at Camp Bow Wow until tomorrow evening as a part of her boarding so we are going to let her. Poor pup has to go back on Friday so that Jackson can have a guy's night. (I'm kidding, it is fine Jack.)
This is a short week of work for me. I go Tuesday through Thursday and then fly to Indiana. YAY! I am really excited to go home. We have a busy couple of weeks coming up. Im headed home. I have my final. Our friend Christina is coming on March 20th. We move March 27th. Heidi and Andrew are coming April 3. We're excited! We LOVE visitors. We don't love moving, but so be it. I love having things to look forward to! :)
We hope you all have a great week.
