The Honeymoon (G rated)

We went to San Diego for our honeymoon. It was a GREAT vacation. Of course, there were trials along the way, but what experience of mine wouldn't be complete without drama? On the plane, we had a layover in El Paso...except the radio broke and we had to get off the plane and wait 2-3 hours for the next one. Then, our rental car company didn't pick us up after sending us back and forth across the sky bridge 3-4 times. We got another car, but it was a couple hundred dollars more. Finally, we made it to the hotel, in a squished up room with a full sized bed. I had the reservation receipt that specifically said king size. We had to fight with them for that night and the next day over that. After that everything was wonderful. This first picture is of us at Balboa Park. It is an area of museums and artistic stuff....not really that exciting, but very pretty.

This is Kyle enjoying the view from our patio. It was wonderful. Some other things we did....we went to the zoo-amazing. We went on a 3 hour personal bike ride. They usually only take groups, but they found out it was our honeymoon and took just the two of us. He gave us lots of local places to go to and things to do. It was great, but very painful on the booty. Also, the weather was so mild compared to Houston, we didn't realize we were getting fried.

These two pictures were taken on a break of the bike ride. On the seal, behind us is Mission Bay, an area more for motor sports than swimming. The other one is taken at Catamaran Resort Hotel....very nice and very expensive.

Drinking was involved....we decided after much running and going and everything else, we would take pizza, chips, and alcoholic beverages down to the beach for the evening and enjoy the sunset. I was being retarded and Kyle snapped the picture.

This is Kyle's picture from that same night. It was just gorgeous and wonderful. I wish we could move there.

This is the Hotel del Coronado. It is a historic site and you have to cross the amazing Coronado Bridge to get there. And, of course, the beautiful beach of Coronado. It is private. I actually called to check on prices to stay here (glad we didn't b/c it is out of the way and far away from the things we wanted to do.) When I called, I asked what kind of specials they had. She said they had a construction special going on with some of their bungalows becuase they were doing construction on that part of the hotel and it was noisy. Then, she went into detail describing it (nicer than our apartment). And, she wrapped it up by saying, "And the construction special on that is $2000 something a night." I said, "Oh, you meant for the week?" "No, I meant for the night."

Hard to see, but this is Kyle attempting to boogie board....he wasn't successful, but he had fun and

that's what matters.

We also went to Disneyland. There were two parks and we weren't sure which one to go to. So, we just picked one. This was the day after the bike ride and had already burned ourselves. We walked around the park we chose and realized that was the kiddie side. Half way through the day, we went across to the other park and figured out that was the adult side. But, we were so hot and burned, we waited in line for one ride and had to go back to the hotel.

I'll spare you anymore pictures, mostly because I'm tired of uploading and rearranging. I may come back and add some more later. We also went to La Jolla. It's a nice beach that has seals (or sea lions?) in their natural habitat. Kyle took tons of pictures. The waves were really rough here and it was pretty rocky.

We went hiking at Torrey Pines State Park. We only did one trail because it was so hot and Kyle wouldn't carry the backpack with the water. But, it was beautiful and amazing. So, this isn't great quality as copied on here, but Kyle took several pics in a row and then pieced them together to make a panoramic picture of a view from Torrey Pines.
