San Diego weekend with the Johnson's!

After getting home from Oregon, I had a couple days to relax and home and then we hit the road again and took our friends the Johnson's to San Diego with us!  It was a blast!  They had Spring Break the next week and wanted to stick their toes in some sand so we all thought it would be a good idea to do just that.  We drove down on Thursday, stopping at Chick-fil-A on our way out and got a free frozen lemonade/ice cream...yum!  It was a fun road trip!

Friday we got up and headed to Sea World!  I got free tickets for being a teacher (holla!)  Danielle had never been to Sea World and Erik hadn't been since he was a kid so it was pretty exciting for them both.  Billy hadn't been since he was a kid either!  So fun.

Sea of surprises!

Dolphin show!  Not sure why I have so many chins in this pic...

Oh man the Shamu show was so funny.  The only good seats we could find left was on the VERY front row.  For some reason we thought we wouldn't get that wet since we didn't get wet at the dolphin show.  Orca whales are very large and so therefore it really was a soak zone.  It was hilarious how wet we got.  Me and Danielle thought running up higher would save us but we probably got way more soaked up there rather than staying under the wave on the front row.  Oh well, it was super funny.

Shamu show!

Best picture of the day...Erik getting nailed by the wave

This is where Danielle and I ran to to escape the wave

Soaked!  Looks like I'm wearing a two tone shirt

Raft ride!

Super fun day!  We had Costco pizza for dinner with the missionaries in my parents super under-construction house hehe good times.

The next day Danielle and I decided to run 10 miles to the beach.  We are crazy.  The guys met us at the beach with food and boogie boards and our suits and we had an awesome beach day!

We made it!

Pretty

A ghost photobombed their super cute pic...sorry guys :)

 After the beach we got cleaned up and headed to dinner at the Blue Market Grill.  It was a SUPER long line and we were starving but it was SO worth it.  Love that place!  We all got different assorted fish tacos, one of which was a lobster taco, and I still can't stop thinking about them.  YUM!

Hehehehehe cutest pic ever

Real camera pics are so much better than these crappy phone ones!

 After dinner we went to Rita's for some frozen custard and ran into my old track coach Jamal!  It was really fun reconnecting.  Then we got home and watched a scary movie and pigged out.  The next morning we went to church, then headed back to AZ.  We converted Erik and Danielle to Serial which was super fun listening to on the way back.  We got in a little fender bender on our way back into town and I hit my phone on my lip so I had blood on my teeth for a sec which was intense looking.  Very tiny amount of damage to the car though.  Overall a super fun weekend!
