And aside from the semi-boring work conference lecture part, it was awesome! This was also my first work conference and I was a little anxious going in, but it was actually fine and I learned some things and upped my skills a bit.
Sunday: Arrive. Check In. Drinks!

Monday: SAN DIEGO ZOO ERMMEGERD! Sorry for the pic overload, but I couldn't help myself- loved allllllll the animals! (Edit: Not posting "all" the pics, we know what lions and tigers and bears look like.)
Tuesday: Lectures. Then The Food and Wine Festival Taco and Beer Tasting! This was the first time I'd ever had a fish taco, and I ave no idea what took me so long- they're delicious!
Wednesday: Lectures, followed by a group dinner in Old Town! I actually got to pick the restaurant. I asked my friend who had lived there for a bunch of years, and she recommended Old Town Mexican Cafe. Seriously the best meal and margaritas I had the entire time I was in San Diego! Also, the drunkest I have ever seen my coworkers... pretty hilarious!
Thursday: End of conference woot woot! After the closing luncheon, a group of us went out to the island of Coronado. We went on the beach and I finally touched the Pacific Ocean! And then we had
Friday: All but one of my coworkers had left, so we shared a room (and saved some dollas), and spent the day exploring and shopping in Old Town since all the shops were closed when we went there with the group.
Saturday: At this point, we were tired, but we wanted to see the beaches. So we went on a Trolley hop on/hop off Beach Tour... except we got on the wrong trolley and wound up seeing the same stuff we had been seeing (Coronado, Old Town, Balboa Park, etc). So we asked if we could switch to the one we actually wanted once we got to Old Town, and they agreed. Two tours for the price of one what what! Half the day was over though, so we only got off at one beach- La Jolla (pronounced: La Hoya) aka the Jewel of San Diego. It was beautiful, and we even saw some seals!!
Sunday: Homeward bound. To 32 degree weather. WOMP.
Have you ever been to San Diego? What did I miss?
(Edit: I went back earlier this month- recap coming next week!)
Looks like it was a fun trip! Can't wait to hear about your recent one. I've never been but I would like to go!
ReplyDeleteClear out those drafts girl!
ReplyDeleteLOL too funny you've had this one sitting in drafts for awhile! It looks like San Diego was a lot of fun though! I have never been to California, but I'd really like to go someday!
ReplyDeleteI love San Diego! What a great trip.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a great trip! I've been to San Diego once, and I'm hoping to get back to California this Fall. Hopefully, I can get down to that part too.
ReplyDeleteFun! I can't wait to hear about your most recent time in San Diego too. Those seals are too cute. :)

Oh what fun!! I have never been to San Deigo but have always wanted to. I would love to get back to Cali. One day.
ReplyDeleteomg i laughed so hard at 'Not posting "all" the pics, we know what lions and tigers and bears look like' because seriously, every time i go to any zoo, no matter where in the world, i always look back on the photos like whyyyy did i take so many?
ReplyDeleteAww, I've never been to San Diego!!! So high up on my bucket list though! Sounds like you had a great time, and you are adorable. I totally snorted at "we know what lions and tigers and bears look like," :p Work trips CAN be fun if you are with the right people!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to San Diego, but I want to someday. :) THAT FOOD LOOKS SO GOOD! Yumm.. also I love sea lions. They are like water puppies. Stinky, sleepy, playful. I love them. XO - Alexandra
