4th of July- Road Trip to San Diego

We decided to take a road trip to San Diego for the 4th of July to see Amy and family. We stopped in Las Vegas on the way there to spend the evening with LeeAnn and see her new house. Unfortunately I had got food poisoning on our drive down and mostly only saw her bathroom. We thought we would have to cancel the rest of our trip but by noon the next day I felt better and we cautiously got back in the car and headed south. I am glad that we were able to proceed because we had a great time with the Brunsvicks and at the beach.




We spent the 4th of July at the San Diego County Fair. This picture of us by a giant avocado reminds me for some reason of a strange variation of The American Gothic.



We saw a lot of livestock. Courtney and this pig bonded instantly!




I got to practice my ropin' skills.
I guess maybe there is something amusing about a pregnant lady ropin' but I don't see it.




Turns out I was a natural at it!


We stayed all day at the fair until it was time for fireworks.
This is a picture I took while waiting for the fireworks to start.




Amy and family watching the fireworks.

You can't really see it, but there is a little sign on the house with an arrow and the words "Beach". We got excited when we saw this sign. And, we added this house to the long list of real estate we would like to buy someday.
I always get excited when I see this sign. I think it is cool that the freeway just suddenly ends and there is the beach.

Toes in the water!





I knew this wave was coming, but I wanted Jarek to be surprised by it.



On our way to the coke store. As you can see it was already getting dark and we knew we would be driving all through the night but we wanted to get the most out of this trip so we stopped anyway.

It's blurry, but I think its funny anyway.
