Another Braai

Oh... And an Earthquake!

I forgot to include in my list of events below that an earthquake occurred during our trip. It was quick, but freaky!!

San Diego Recap and some pics

We departed San Diego this morning and began missing it as soon as we stepped into the airport. Tom and I had such a wonderful time touring local towns and beaches, watching local people in their daily routine, and, of course, visiting with Garth, Lisa and their beautiful baby girl Kayla. This was our first time visiting California, so the whole trip seemed like one big highlight. I couldn't decide what I liked most, I loved everything equally. Below is a list of places and things we saw and did.

-South African Food Shop (Tom was absolutely thrilled to get his hands on chocolate and meat items he missed so much)
-Mount Soledad
-Scenic drive down Rt. 101 (beginning from Encinitas, CA)
-Old Town
-Gaslamp District
-Towns/Suburds visited: Hillcrest, La Jolla Village, Encinitas, Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Coronado Island
-Self-guided tour of Hotel Del Coronado
-Balboa Park (Garden, Automotive and Photography museums)
-Torrey Pines Golf Course
-Beaches visited: Coronado South Beach, Solana Beach, La Jolla Cove and Beach, Wind & Sea Beach
-Culinary highlights: Fred's Mexican Restaurant in Old Town, Hash House in Hillcrest, In-N-Out chain, Swami's Cafe in Encinatas, Anthony's on North Harbor Drive

I took A LOT of pictures and started posting them on my Flickr page, but more will be posted very soon on Flickr and here as well. Below are pics of some of the food we enjoyed:

San Diego

Thomas and I have been enjoying the city of San Diego since Saturday. We still have 2 days of fun planned that I'm really looking forward to. You can check out photographs of our trip at my Flickr page: www.flickr.com/exposuresfromlife

Celebrating Mothers

I think a mother's work is a hard job that shouldn't go unrecognized, so Happy Mother's Day to all mothers!

Beef Stir Fry

What A Week!!

... and thank goodness it's over!

This week was just plain busy. I'm preparing myself for next week because I have a good feeling it's going to be twice as busy.

In other news, Tom and I are going to spend our holiday in San Diego in a little over a week. I'm very excited to go, but still have so much to at work and at home. My time at home next week will be filled with digging out my spring/summer clothes, washing them, and then packing them. It's a process.

So, I've decided to join the rest of the world, or the world of digital photography, and join Flickr. Check out my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/exposuresfromlife/

Stocking Up

Tom and I recently ran out of homemade chicken noodle soup and chicken a la king we made last autumn. Tom spent hours in the kitchen replenishing our stock. Thank you, Tom!!
