A late trip report on our trip to LA and SD in mid Jan:

– It was cold. None of this 80 degree weather you hear about. 50 degree highs, and 30 degree lows. It was warmer at home in DC than it was in Southern California. Go figure

– The wedding was okay. Like I said, it was cold, which limited the number of things you could do. We split time between the wedding and reception watching the Patriots beat the Chargers. Needless to say, in southern CA, there weren’t many Pats fans

– Had a blowout on the interstate travelling from LA to SD, while travelling at 80 mph. Luckily J got us over in time and without injury.

– Saw Y’s palace in SD, and got to meet G (Y got to meet J). Went to the SD Zoo, the Wild Animal Park, the USS Midway, the beach, and had some pretty decent sushi.

Hope to do it again soon….
