Family Visits

Nathan and I have been lucky enough to have a bunch of visits from family over the past few weeks. First, a week and a half ago my Mom came out to visit! It was so good to get to see her! We had tons of fun touring San Diego, going to the BYU/SDSU game, sailing, shopping, trying new restaurants, going to the beach, talking and more.










I definitely miss my family but Nate promised me as part of the deal of moving here that taking trips back to Virginia is a big priority! It was way fun to have her come and visit us though and I can’t wait to go home for thanksgiving! This past week our sister-in-law Angela came to visit. She is pregnant and wanted to have a get away from work and cold Chicago. We went to Sea World and hung out at Nate’s parents house with her. Last Friday, Nate’s brother John and his wife Vanessa came down for John’s birthday. We went to the Fish Market Restaurant to celebrate with Nate’s parents, Grandma, John, Vanessa, Angela, and Vanessa’a parents. I have a new love for seafood after eating at the Fish Market. I got the most delicious Dijon encrusted tilapia with roasted veggies and potatoes. The restaurant also offers a gorgeous view of San Diego Bay as you eat. Other than family visits we have been loving our lives San Diego. On Saturday morning we went wake boarding with Nate’s old neighbor and his friend. I had never been before and his neighbor made it very clear throughout the whole trip that I had a deprived childhood. The guys were nice to let me try it a couple times. I got up once for about 2 seconds.


Nate being awesome...

It was way fun! I even got to wear a dry suit for the first time which only took 30 minutes and a lot of chafing to get off after.
