Huntington Beach

The last stop of my cousin's visit was Huntington Beach which was hosting the US Open of Surfing.

This picture doesn't do it justice, but the dog on the right was HUGE.

We got to see the last couple surfers of the day.

Want More Zoo pics?

By the end of this post, nobody who reads this blog will need to visit the San Diego Zoo because you will feel like you've already been there. I took my cousin Brian for a quick Zoo tour after spending most of the day at the USS Midway. These pics may seem familiar since I went to the zoo with some friends in late June. Same animals, different day.














Yay Pandas.

Gaslamp Quarter and Hot Air Balloons

After the USS Midway, we stopped for lunch in the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego. Lots of good restaurants there.









While driving up the highway, we came upon a really cool sight of hot air balloons. My cousin Brian took these pics out of the side window while I drove. Sometimes I get a good view of them from my apartment, but I always forget to take pics of them.





Not bad pics for being from a car going 70 mph.

U.S.S. Midway...on a sunny day

I am a lazy blogger sometimes. But I've been busy doing fun stuff while not blogging which means I have some new and fun posts coming soon.

A couple weeks ago, my cousin Brian came to visit me in San Diego. We went for a tour of the U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier downtown. If this looks familiar, it is also where I took my friend DJ when she visited 6 months ago. Here are some new pics anyway :)











There's Brian!




A plane they let you sit in!







A crazy ship that went by while we were on deck.
