Or, the more believable story is we had the whole trip planned months ago and went out with our college friends to surprise Ian for his birthday. I never thought we would actually pull off the surprise, but either Ian is really good at having a completely dumbfounded look on his face or we pulled off the surprise. Actually, both of those instances could be true, now that I think about it. So we had a fabulous weekend in sunny San Diego. It was great to get away from the 100 degree humid hot weather we've had in NE. Wait... Right, it was 100 degrees, hot, and humid in SD as well. Eh, I'm fine with that. That's why god invented beaches.
And speaking of beaches. The East Coast may be superior to the West Coast in every way, except for the beaches.
The mountains back east aren't as big as that cliff right on the beach! I've never seen cliffs like that.
The waves were incredible. On Sunday they were twice as big as I was! Granted I am not that tall, but the Sunday waves were at least 10 feet tall. The above picture was taken on Friday.
All in all, it was a really fun weekend. Seeing the Brown family was fantastic, as they are left coast dwellers and the rest of us are right coast dwellers, we don't see them very much (tear!) and we've never been out to see them and it was the first time for some people to meet Aaron. I would say our surprise birthday trip was a great success.
