Birthday Travels

Although Mike wasn't able to take the entire two week period of block leave, we were able to escape for a quick vacation to San Diego last week.  We crammed a ton of fun into four days and were able to see a bunch of great people.  We flew into San Diego, rented a car (woop for a free upgrade), and drove to San Clemente to meet up with my best friend Melissa and high school friend Cori.  We were highly entertained by Cori's two beautiful daughters Ryann and Jade.  Hopefully we will get a chance to visit again next year to meet the new addition to the Cannon family!  Mike and I were lucky enough to stay at Melissa and Jason's house that night.

Saturday was Mike's birthday; we celebrated with a warm day at Sea World.  Melissa, Jason, Mike, and I spent the day checking out the animals and ended the day with a delicious dinner in Old Town.  I can't say enough how great it was to be able to spend time with my best friend.

I miss her!

Happy Birthday to my husband

Friends for life

The next day Mike and I headed to the desert to visit with Mike's best friend and his wife.  Dap and Lindsay recently returned from their commitment as Peace Corps volunteers in Suriname.  It has been so long since we've been able to share time with them.  We picked back up right where we left off. 

Mike and I hit up the outlet stores on our way to my parents house.  We went for a much needed swim (damn desert heat), enjoyed a delicious dinner, and spent time with my parents.  Despite being so short, Mike and I really had an amazing (whirlwind) trip.
