San Diego Saturday Part 2 of 2

On my way home after stopping at the park, I got off path and ended up at a scenic overlook with a view over La Jolla and the ocean. The ocean is on the left in the top pic.

San Diego Saturday Part 1 of 2

So I finally headed back out for a new weekend adventure. Saturday, I went to the Gaslamp District of downtown San Diego and walked around a bit (forgot to take pics though). There were some restaurants and shops, but nothing too exciting. I think it is really a nighttime hotspot like South Side in pgh. I then went to Seaport Village which is a little tourist spot on the water that has a bunch of little shops and seafood restaurants.



















After Seaport Village, I decided to take the scenic route up the coast back to Carlsbad. I stopped at a cute little park that was part of some ocean inlet or bay.

I'm a Californian!

I got my CA license in the mail last week and my California license plates today. I feel like a regular at the local DMV. Kinda sad really. Hopefully, I won't have to go back there for a long time. I also got business cards for work which is awesome. I'm on a 90-day trial at work, so I'm kinda surprised they got business cards for me so soon.

I've been keeping pretty busy with work, but I'm hoping for some free time this weekend to try a new adventure. The Carlsbad Village Fair is coming to town Sunday, so I'm excited to check that out. I bought a San Diego tourist book, so I'm working on a list of places to check out.

License And Other News

I got my California Driver's License today! Well, sorta. They don't make them on the spot, apparently. I'll get mine in the mail in two weeks. Yay! I had to take the written driver's test. I'm officially a Californian now! I tried to register my car too, but I need to get a smog inspection.

I had my first client presentation Tuesday, which went fairly well. My company's owner and I are meeting the client again next week to go to the next phase which is exciting. I am suddenly super busy at work. I went from having one project to having two, plus I'm helping with 2 other projects. I learned a really cool new rendering package this week called Bunkspeed Hypershot and I am doing computer renderings for one of the other projects. It's really neat software and seems easy to learn so far. I may have to work again this weekend, but at least it's for a fun project. Yipee!

Working Weekend

I had the fun and exciting opportunity to work both days this weekend. Yipee! Hopefully I will have something more exciting to report next weekend. I am trying to plan my next weekend adventure, but am currently stumped for ideas. Any suggestions? I am putting off going to the LA area til I get another paycheck or two. Legoland is in Carlsbad, but I don't want to go alone, so I am waiting for one of my blog readers (anonymous commenter) to come visit me so we can go. I am going to try to see if there is a fall festival or something going on.

I moved

I am a little late with this post, but oh well. I moved! I moved to a town called Oceanside. My new place is tiny, so I will probably be looking to move yet again in early 2009 once I get a little more settled. I bought a futon last weekend. It's a little full size one. It folds in 3 pieces lengthwise so it fits in my car which is good. Considering everything else I have here fits in my car, I didn't want to get a futon I would have to get a special truck to move.

My new place has a ton of stores up the street, kinda like my old Greensburg place. There is a pool and little gym for the apt. complex. Hopefully I will get around to posting some pics this weekend.

Work is getting busier. I have my first client presentation Monday. I don't know how much I will be meeting with the client myself, but I'm putting all the info together. It's a pretty cool project so far.

My Family Is Awesome Too!
