For the second year in a row (last year we did this), Wife and I attended the San Diego County Fair media preview. We gorged on grilled corn, fresh lobster, deep-fried goodness and a few adult beverages before heading home for a food induced coma.
Enjoyed the afternoon with some food, bocce ball and sun.
While Wife might be going on an all-expense paid trip to Barcelona, I at least get to do things in San Diego I would probably never try. Yesterday, as a job perk, San Diego Speed Boat Adventures invited me and a few co-workers (well, they invited the co-workers who then invited me) to spend the afternoon jet across San Diego Bay in a speed boat. How can you say no to that? You can read my official account here.
Below are just a few pictures taken by a co-worker:
A few weekends ago, Wife and I drove up with the puppy to Burnt Rancheria Campgrounds on Mount Laguna to spend the weekend camping with her parents and their two puppies. We roughed it both nights in a trailer equipped with a double bed, kitchen, bathroom (with a shower [which we did use and it was awesome to feel clean]) and heater if need be.
We spent the days hiking along crystal-clear waters and beautiful meadows, napping, cooking, reading, playing Mille Bornes, and general relaxing. We did act adventurous and cooked outside. Rob tested out his Father’s Day gift of a new camping grill with Hawaiian kabobs made by Wife. That evening, the hardest part was getting the popcorn to actually pop (the supposed 7 minute process easily stretched itself out to about 20-30 minutes).
Killian did well and only had the problem of eating an obnoxious amount of grass. He paid for it later!

As a perk at my new job, the San Diego County Fair (@SDfair) invited me to a special preview night. Wife and I raced up to Del Mar to enjoy the free deep-fried food (including deep-fried koolaid), drinks, and as we learned upon arrival, bungee jumping. Since the price was right (free), we both waited in line for 1.5 hours to experience 3 seconds of free fall. The jump was totally worth it.
Sadly I had already stored my phone in my shoe when Wife jumped but she was able to catch me fall about 20 minutes later.
