San Diego

On Sunday we took a trip down to beautiful San Diego. The Cubs were playing the Padres and it was a perfect weekend to take the trip. Normally, the traffic is horrendous going to San Diego on the weekend, but we actually lucked out and had pretty decent traffic. I think most people waited until Monday to travel home.

After the Cubs lost the game :( we decided to walk around the area. The whole area around the park is a historic area of the city, so we decided to explore. The main street in this area is full of restaurants and bars and nothing else! It seemed to go on forever! We looked out on the harbor and took in the beautiful scenery. We eventually found a place to eat and then went back home.

Although it was short, it was a fun little trip to take on a holiday weekend.

Spotted

On our return flight from Dallas to Burbank we spotted Johnathon Schaech. You may know Johnathon as the lead singer of the "Oneders" (or Wonders) in the movie "That Thing You Do" from 1996. He has been in many other things, but I know him best from this movie.

Chicago

Last weekend we were in Chicago for a long weekend. We decided we wanted to get away for a few days since we hadn't been on a trip for a while. I have wanted to see a Cubs game in Wrigley Field for a while (it has been 5 years), so we decided to visit Chicago. I was worried about the weather being cold and rainy, but it ended up being a very pleasant trip. The day of the Cubs game it was 70 degrees, sunny and the Cubs won easily. We did a lot of sightseeing and enjoyed being away from home for a while.
