Ok, so we're not in Hawaii or the Caribbean, but Southern California isn't a bad place to be right now. The weather has been perfect and Dad got us a great condo in San Diego, right on the beach looking out into the Pacific Ocean. It's been awesome. We've gone to the San Diego Zoo and Disneyland (a mere 100 miles from our spot on the beach). Tomorrow is Sea World. In the days in between, we've just been hanging out at our condo, watching the surf and walking on the beach.
Mom and Dad bought a Wii. They've been saying that they'd get one whenever they found one, and Dad found one in a Target here in San Diego. So, we've also been playing a fair amount of Wii (overlooking the ocean, which makes it even more relaxing). Mom and Dad also decided , since they and my brother have digital SLR cameras, that Amanda and I should have one too. So, we are now the proud owners of a Nikon D40. It takes much better pictures than the Coolpix 3100 we were using. If you look at Amanda's Facebook page, you can see the first pictures we took with it at Disneyland.
With all the cool stuff we've done and all the cool stuff we've gotten, the best part has been spending time with the fam. We don't get to see Eric, Day, and Audrey very much, and it's been nice hanging out with them. It's always been important to Mom and Dad for the family to get to do fun stuff like this together, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. It doesn't matter whether it's a cruise to the Caribbean, a week on the beach in San Diego, or just hanging out at the house in Arlington, it's always nice to get together and just have a good time.
On Saturday, it's on to Las Vegas, where I plan to win my tuition for next year!
