Our City

As you know Kyle and I live in San Diego now.  We love it here, it is an amazing city.  It's very urban but doesn't have the crazy feeling some big cities have.  These are some pictures of our night out on the town.  We went to the roof of this historic hotel and the view was incredible.  So here's the city that we admire every night from our family room window.

USS Midway

My parents came to visit for Thanksgiving and boy did we get to do a lot of fun stuff!  We went to lots of fun places, and loved having them here.  These are our pictures at the USS Midway, a decommissioned Aircraft Carrier in the San Diego Bay.  It's so great to have people here that are familiar faces.  So if you ever come to San Diego make sure to contact us and we'll show you around town.

 Mama Max was so scared to go down these tiny stairs leading deeper into the ship.  And I have to agree with her, it was a bit claustrophobic.  I don't know how thousands of soldiers could live on this ship for months at a time.  WOW!
 
Ahoy Cap'n!  This aircraft carrier is amazing and it was so neat to see all the planes that have flown in the wars.  


Mister Mister get me out of here!!



My Mom got a little tired from a long day of walking so we got to ride the peddy cab.  I must admit it was lots of fun!

Be Yourself, Always.

I came across a YouTube video of Frank Gehry explaining a very important aspect of being you.



What do you think about it?

I think that is very important that we are always ourself. Doing that despite of what others think or say is an incredible thing that brings about an amazing feeling of self respect and self value that I hope all who view this video may feel daily.

Carpe Diem. . . . Kyle

Buddha's new favorite spot to hang out

A few days ago I placed our leather ottoman out on the balcony to see what Buddha would do. He loves to look out the window where he screams (litterally) at the horse carriage, cats and other dogs. It wasn't long before Buddha figured out he could use the ottoman to get to the higher part (next to the railling) of the balcony and look over on to the street.

So now this is his favorite spot in the house


Besides having a commanding view of the street (his kingdom) Buddha also loves the sea breeze that he feels from outside. His long fur flows freely in the cool harbor breezes.

Toyota Commercial





Tonight there was a lot of cameras and film workers on our street (Island Ave). I asked one of them what was going on and he said that they were filming a Toyota commercial for Toyota's new line of cars. We saw a couple cars that looked like the Yaris and Sequoia.

Any way here are some pics that I snapped while walking past the set.
