on the water

A few weeks ago we spent the afternoon at the San Diego County Fair. There are 3 days when the tickets to the fair are only $4, so we took one of those days to go, but unfortunately the weather turned on us was as gloomy and cold as ever. The upside though is that we got to win a bunch of free gifts! From free movie tickets to baseball tickets and a mini trip to Hawii (yep!!) they gave us lots of stuff.

So how'd we do it? The next day we visited a resort in SD that tried selling us a timeshare. Thanks to G, he (we) said no what seemed like 100 times and left 4 hours later with our gifts. lol It was quite the experience, and so worth it. One of our favorite gifts we used so far is a full 2 hour boat tour around San Diego Bay. Originally we planned on going on our anniversary, but were so tired from the NJ trip we waited to go the next week instead. The day was gorgeous! It REALLY made me miss living downtown by the water. And really made me fall for SD even more.

This. This was taken after we ran, literally ran to the boat because they were boarding at 4pm and we were parking at 4:05pm. Even though we had been in the city since 1:00 I didn't think to move the car before getting on the boat so that the time wouldn't expire and we'd get a parking ticket. This car thing is a pain! But we made it, and laughed about it anyways. :)
