San Diego Fair and Beer Festival

We have been busy taking care of items from our Summer Checklist these last few weeks! So far we've camped in the backyard, been to the zoo and attended the San Diego Fair and Beer Festival, all of which I need to post about!

On Saturday night, we ended up going over to the Beer Festival and then made our way into the fair. We had a group of 8 and it was so much fun! There were over 400 beers on tap and food galore...

Happy Summer Solstice

This is my idea of summer. This is my idea of heaven. Some mags, a refreshing dink and a view. 

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!

What's your idea of heaven? How do you like to spend your summer days?

San Diego Summer Checklist 2013

Last year I made a summer to-do list with the kids and it was a hit! Gabriel and I would "check" things off our list as we completed them and he loved knowing that we had a plan for this summer. This year, as long as I'm still working from home, I would like to do the same.

I know I've said it before, but I will say it again. We are so happy and lucky and happy happy happy to be back in San Diego. Not only do we have our friends and family here, but the area is so rich with unique things to do, you can hardly say you're ever bored living in this town.

Without further ado...

Kids say (and do) the darndest things, pt. 3 - Boys are so weird

I have commented on my kids and how they do some silly stuff and some funny stuff. But today, oh boy. Kids are weird. Boys are weirder. I am girl and I don't get boys.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I have boys because I think if I had girls, I would have to keep them locked up in their room until they were at least 25. I remember what I did as a teenager and I was one of the good ones...

Anyway, today. I am doing the dishes and the boys are playing outside. Generally they play pretty well together so I was minding my own business. I happened to look up for some reason...it was awfully quiet out there.

Tourist in our Town: Company Pub and Kitchen, Poway

This is the second of hopefully many posts in a series called "Tourist In Our Town." I will be chronicling some of the tastier food, places and experiences we come across as we happily re-acquaint ourselves with San Diego. If you have a suggestion for a place we need to visit, please send me an email!

Sometimes, and especially on Friday nights, we get lazy. Is it just me or does eating out on a Friday feel awesome? After a long week, who really wants to stand in the kitchen and slave away? I love to cook, but have a hard time as it is getting myself into the kitchen...

The point is, a few Fridays ago, we were really lazy and we were really craving some fried food so we had a little Google sesh and happened upon a place in Poway that apparently served a mean fish and chips plate. I don't care for fish unless it's sushi, but I'm always game to try a new place, moreso even if it's close by. We packed up the kids and headed on over...
