Summer Fun

So far this summer Chad and I have been busy traveling. We went to Cabo San Lucas at the beginning of May for a week. We really loved our hotel, but the locals drove us crazy trying to sell us anything from gum to Timeshares, even in the airport. Well I guess that's Mexico. We hung out mostly at the hotel. We did swim with dolphins and went Zip lining. We mostly hung out by the pool played some board games, ping pong, pool and we meet some really great people from NY, Canada and California. I am proud to say that we did not get sick from the water or food, but next time I will bring travelers checks because every time I used by card the bank charged a transaction fee, ughh!

We have also gone to a Jimmy Kimmel show, Tom Petty, visited my friend and family in NoCal. We've been up to Santa Barbara, Paso, Cambria and SLO a few times this summer. Have had a few BBQ's at friends and family in SoCal.

Tara has been very busy at work with the transition to a new computer system and learning the ropes has been crazy, since no one really truly knows what’s happening it's really hard to learn when the information you get is updated very other week and you have to re-learn things all over again. We also have to work on two computer systems, so we have twice the work. Then there is the frustrated staff and students which really helps to set the mood around the office. Chad started working at a new school, so he has been busy getting settled down with a new system and new co-workers. He drives his motorcycle to work to save on gas and parking fees since the drive to downtown LA is a little farther than the drive to UCLA.

We have tried to get out of our apartment as much as possible. Going to the beach to take walks or ride our bikes. We like to walk down the street to downtown Culver City this little city is growing so much it's so swanky now with all the bars and restaurants. We also went to the Getty, one our favorite places in West LA. We recently went to Downtown Disney to visit with friends and the Dodgers game. Our patio is filled with plants and a few herbs, oh and a tomato plant. I've found it's much more difficult to grow plants like herbs and vegetables in pots. We've only seen three tomato's on the vine so far :(

What's next; we have three weddings to attend this year. So that's something to look forward to. One is in Napa and we will take some extra days off to take a road trip all the way up to Mendocino and back to LA. The other is in Temecula another wine country, yeah!! The last one will be in December and it's the wedding I'm planning so I'm really excited about that.

We are also going on yet another trip to Mexico, Puerto Vallarta this time, in November. This trip is with Chad's work, but it's also partly Chad's birthday and partly our one year anniversary gift.
