Our First Visitor

My sister arrived for a five day visit.

The mattress for the guest bedroom was delivered just in time for my sister's visit. Since Matt's been working so much, it was fun to have someone (and a super-fun someone at that) to explore more of San Diego with. Carlyn and I discovered that San Diego restaurants serve large portions (at Hash House A Go Go the pancakes are the size of a 14" pizza), our balcony is good for sipping cocktails, cute shoe stores are closed on Mondays, the beaches on the Pacific provide an excellent selection of stones for use in gardens and accessorizing potted plants, and the culotte steak (top sirloin cap steak) is an amazing cut of meat. Can't wait to experience further adventures with our next set of visitors.

A Quick Review of Carolyn's Visit (click for more detail)

First stop: Rose Garden at Balboa Park.	The Star of India is parked right down the street from us.
Had to rent a convertible to sport sis around San Diego.	The Old Point Loma Lighthouse.
There was some rock hugging at PL.	And self portrait taking (sadly, Matt was working).
Ventured to the OC to visit with Dom.	Carolyn couldn't resist dipping her toe in the cold Pacific waters off Laguna Beach.
Matt could spend all day gazing into tide pools.	We also happened upon some seriously large kelp on Torrey Pines State Beach.
