August vacation

Sorry I have not posted in so long, I guess you could say that I have taken this month off as a blog vacation. I went home to Illinios for a six day getaway which was great, but argh I forgot my camera....I hate when you remember right before you board the plane.
I hope to upload some photos that other people took and to update everyone on all that is happening out here. It has been hectic and stressful lately as I am planning an event at work that is coming up in November and we still have not gotten the invitations out because they are at the printer. I hope that all my stress will soon be in the past and then I will be back online. In the meantime, I hope everyone is having a great summer and enjoying some vacation time! :)

El Migraino

On Sunday, Jon and I took the surfliner down to see my parents who were in San Diego. It was a gorgeous day and the train runs right along the ocean which was great.

We met up with my mom and then the three of us took the bus up to Balboa Park to spend the day hanging in the park, checking out the international festivities, and taking in some art.
We then headed back to the gaslamp district to meet up with Dad and that is when it started...a slow dull ache.
It slowly progressed until I had a full blown, can't handle light or sound or movement migraine headache. Why it had to happen on the one day we are hanging out with my parents.
We had to cancel dinner reservations so that I could lay down in there hotel room and recover. I recovered within an hour, thank you excedrin, but unfortunately we did not have enough time to go out for dinner after that, so we walked the neighborhood and then Jon and I grabbed the surfliner home.
There were a lot of tourists that take the train and the mass transit in and around San Diego and there will always be the one who takes fashion just a bit too far...where did you get these and why did they let you buy them. It also accompanied a bright red shirt and USA hat.I hope my parents had a good dinner after we left. They are in beautiful San Diego for a little while longer and then they head back to the midwest where I will be in a few days...can't wait!!! :)
