We Out Here - Day 1

I'm on a one week adventure in San Diego, California.  I'll try to update the blog as often as possible.

Denver International Airport.  Pretty stock, nothing cool going on here.

I had to read this book for my first week of classes, which start on the 22nd.  Luckily between the pre-flight, flight, and post-flight airport time, I was able to finish it.  Menand presents some pretty interesting insights about the state of higher education in America, particularly how liberal arts eduction does not prepare students for real-life careers.  I'm really glad that I read it going into my senior year of my liberal arts education... a day late and a dollar short.

Lunch after I landed.

Passenger pickup at San Diego.

Jimmy came through and picked me up.  He is high energy all the time.

Downtown San Diego and the bay.

Jimmy and I got lunch at a burrito spot.

Chilling at Black Box with Ian, Kyle, and Pete.

Pete's got some motor bikes.

Ian and Pete ready to roll.

Black Box park.  So sick!

Pete and Kyle killed it.

After skating we headed to Pete's.

We skated to the store to get supplies for dinner.

I got a coke, banana, tortillas, and peanut butter.

Carlito is such a well behaved dog.

Ty came over and kicked it too.

And then I watched It's Kind Of A Funny Story.

Mormon Kombat Concluded

The last day of the trip was supposed to be for street skating, but the rain pretty much ruined that.

I thought about checking this out...

But realized that it was super secret and I couldn't even get a tour.

Here's everybody saying goodbye's before we hit the dusty trail.

And here is a photo Ryan took with me in it (far left).

Mike ran into a T-Rex at the gas station.

Subway.

I bought a dozen cookies for the road.

Wind.

Sketchy bathroom in Wyoming.

We made it back to Colorado, where the mountains hang out on the west side.  Way better than Utah.

Home!  David killed it on the drive.

Going to take a couple days off and heal up this swollen ankle.  The trip was the best thing ever and totally worth it though!
