San Diego in January

San Diego is a beautiful city. And when you're coming from 20 degree weather with snow on the ground, it's even more beautiful.

Geoff and I were out in California for a long weekend to visit his sister, who lives there. 70 degrees and sunny is MUCH more enjoyable than what we've got going on here in Philly.

Down by the boardwalk

I have no regrets about taking a full two weeks for our honeymoon, but it does mean that I'm left with very little vacation time for the year. Which also means, no summer vacation. However, my aunt and uncle rented a house down in Ocean City for a couple of weeks, and they were generous enough to invite my family for a couple of nights.

Unfortunately, we managed to time our trip perfectly with monsoon season at the Jersey shore, so we spent most of our time in the house, but we squeezed in a trip to Atlantic City and to Brown's for homemade donuts.

Overcast skies didn't keep the crowds of people off of the boardwalk.



The sun was nowhere to be found, which is for the best for me and my pasty skin.





Hanging at the house.





Playing hairdresser. Clearly we were bored.



I hope that everyone out there is going on fabulous vacations that are not getting rained on!

Good news/bad news

The bad news is, the holiday weekend is over and I used up a vast majority of my vacation time for the honeymoon, so I probably won't have another day off until July 4th. I need to move to Europe or some place where they get like two months of vacation time. That would suit my lifestyle much better.

The good news is, it feels like Monday, but it's actually Tuesday. Here's hoping that this week flies by. Hey, I can be optimistic, right?
