Trying To Cram Everything In One Last Day!

Us with Caesar, Mama Testa's owner, in his shop where his fish tacos and him beat Bobby Flay on Bobby Flay Throwdown.
Yummy Fish Tacos!

Last bite for Jen & cute Mommy Kristin in the back :)
Awww, we love eating and kissing

Today we decided to hang out at a bunch of places on our last day in San Diego. We met up with our friends from Vegas, The Cannata's, and went to our first stop, Crazee Burger (from the Food Network's Drive-ins, Diners, and Dives). We've gone before, but wanted to eat Big Bird...I mean, the ostrich burger. Shhh! Don't tell the kids we ate Big Bird! And he was delicious!! Then we went to Old Town (Cris' first time) and met up with Adrienne (AKA Azer or Big Sis) and her friend, Richard. Cris dipped his very own elephant candle and had a great time! We also got salt water taffy from Cousin's Old Fashioned Candy Shoppe, and got a new elephant for Cris' collection (made out of Tiger's Eye) from the Mining and Panning shop. Last, but not least, we went to Mama Testa's (from Food Network's Bobby Flay's Throwdown). We had a fun and tasty day! Thanks to all of our friends for helping us have a great last day in San Diego!

DONE WITH MY MASTER'S DEGREE

I officially finished my last M.Ed. class yesterday and no matter what I am done. It looks like I will be receiving my degree within the next few months, but will walk in December. I am super excited because this is the first time I have had a GPA close to a 4.0 since I was in middle school. My overall GPA will be 3.98! I can't believe I actually have that kind of GPA. I will have to walk in December because the head of our program is making it mandatory. Cris says I deserve it because I have worked so hard, but somehow it seems that I will be punished for all that hard work (three hours stuck in a huge stadium listening to boring speeches). I guess I am a glutton for punishment, however, because I will be walking in graduation and also taking my first Ph.D. class in the fall.

Godspell the Musical



Well, we are in San Diego trying to relax after a rough school year and we seems to be doing just fine with that. On Friday night we went to Godspell the Musical with my mom. It was fun and in a small theatre so it was like really being apart of the show.
