san diego roundup.

We did so much. We hung with our cousins, we played at the beach. We swam, hot-tubbed, had dinner on the patio, saw good friends, rode a carousel, shopped, played, visited our alma-mater, the San Diego Zoo on a perfect fall day, had dinner at the restaurant Shawn & I worked at when we got married. Things were the same, and different, and we did feel a teeny bit old. We showed the kids our favorite places to eat and surf and where we lived during college. We showed Jackson the building we lived in when we brought him home from the hospital. We had good talks with people we don't get to see face to face often enough. (TINA! That's you!) It was wonderful. And fast, and over all too soon.

this is the view from the dorms we lived in. i'm not kidding.
suddenly that little run-in with academic probation makes much more sense, right?
