Our Summer Vacation
We had so much fun on our anti-Cheers vacation. We sailed out of San Pedro on Royal Caribbean on Monday afternoon, headed for San Diego. Tuesday we spent most of the day at Sea World, which was awesome except for the fact that I forgot sunscreen. Mike called me a redneck for the rest of the trip.
Wednesday we were on Catalina Island, where we took an underwater tour in a glass-sided boat. It was pretty cool though a bit disconcerting to see a fish swim by that was about half as long as the freaking boat. Thursday morning we were in Ensenada, Mexico, which really wasn't all that interesting except for the Cohibas we picked up. They were right tasty.
Probably the funniest thing we saw on the trip was a sea lion trying to get on a buoy outside the San Diego harbor. He kept timing his jump wrong, jumping when the buoy was at the peak of its sway. And the other sea lions on the buoy were making fun of him. "Dork, dork! Dork! Dork, dork!" they kept barking.
So much for the Cliff's Notes version of our trip. I'll prolly post some photos later. Right now I have a ton of laundry to do, the lawn needs mowed, grocery shopping, all that fun stuff.
And yes, we're still swaying like we're on the ship. At least when we want dessert, we won't have to fight our way through the crowd by stabbing fat women with our forks.
There are some advantages to being home.

You were here and you didn't call?

I am so envious of you right now. I saw lots of water in the past few days, but it was all pouring down my windshield in Chicago thunderstorms.
I'm looking forward to the photos.

Sorry for not calling Goddess, but this was the 'anti-Cheers' vacation. My son's getting transferred back to San Diego in December, so we'll be back out your way again.
It was nice to get away from it all for a few days....and just as nice to get back home.
