So, the first weekend in July was family time, the second weekend was friend time! Woo hoo!! Earlier in the year, Gina and I decided we wanted to have a girls weekend away. We threw the word out there, and my old college roomie Krista (aka Zoo Wu) and her sister Rosanna decided to join us! They flew in on the big jet plane from St. Louis on Wednesday and it was non stop from there!
I had to work part of the day, but I did take the afternoon off to show the girls around San Diego. We have had an very cool summer here in SD, and the sun didn't shine all day. But we did go to La Jolla and see the seals and then headed over to the Hotel Del on Coronado.
To start the weekend off right, we joined Mary and Dave at the O'Club on base. We knew there was a band playing, so we said "hey, why not get cheap drinks and free food"...so that is what we did. It was a blast, as we each had a 44D shot (thanks to Mary) and called it a night!
After getting some sleep on Friday night, we then hit the road to travel to Southern California Wine Country...Temecula! We had booked an open air jeep tour and a hotel room! In addition to Rosanna, Zoo, Gina, and myself...my good friend Heather and our old college roomie LeAnne also joined us. We started in Temecula with an Italian lunch (and a bottle of Wilson Creek champaign). Then we all piled into the jeep to start the tour of 3 wineries. The weather was gorgeous...sun was shining and the laughter was contageous. The girl driving our jeep was first day on the job. I"m sure she was thinking "what did I get myself into". We had a great day with tons of wine, laughter, hugs, and ended with a trip to In & Out Burger! Nothing like some grease to soak up the alcohol!
After a good night sleep, we then headed to Disneyland! Nothing like having the adult fun the night before, and then transforming into a big kid the next day! We all felt great at Disney and the lines for the rides were short and crowd manageable. We had a great day in truly the "happiest place on earth"!
