The night the 'Best in the World' got better...

After nearly 9 years of blood, sweat, and tears (literally)...and broken noses, ribs, bum knees, expensive knee braces, replacement knee braces, nights with ice packs, trips to the chiropractor, etc., Apoc is the PCW Heavy Weight Champion!!

California - check!

Thanks to some great birthday presents from my friend Jess and Dennis' mom & aunt, we boarded a SWA flight for San Diego to celebrate D's birthday!

When we arrived in SAN, and boarded the hotel shuttle for the quick trip to our hotel. As we turned the corner and saw the Hampton in the distance, you couldn't help but notice 'The World Famous' Body Shop...who can name the band/song!?!? I let D take a quick peek...from 200 yards away!

Friday morning we found our way to Old Town and jumped on the Old Town Trolley tour! It was a great ride through San Diego and across the bridge to Coronado (expensive!!) Island. We rode the trolley all the way to the San Diego Zoo, where we got off and toured around this famous landmark for several hours...so many great animals to see!! We ended the day back in Old Town at a fabulous mexican resturant for dinner, YUMMY!!

Saturday we were up and out early again, this time to figure out the public bus system (voted best public transportation in the nation in 2008!). We were off to Sea World!! We caught all the shows; Shamu, the sea lions, and even a preformance by hundreds of household pets!

We found our way back down to Seaport Village for a great seafood dinner at the Harbor House, and then finished off the night at a famous little restaurant/bar, Kansas City Barbeque...can you name the movie??? Maybe these picture clues will help...

San Diego was great! People were so nice, the weather was wonderful, and the hotel bed was comfy!

Hope you had a great birthday babe!
