Room With A View

I spent 4.9 hours in a cramped window seat switching positions every 10 minutes. MAN was that a long flight! Thankfully going east is swifter!

But the view was nice!!

IMG_5055 (427x640)

I ate my sandwich and plum at "dinnertime" and read nearly 300 pages of my book (As Husbands Go by Susan Isaacs)

IMG_5057 (640x427) (2)

Thanks so much to Tammy for picking me up at the airport! The SD airport is SO convenient – only a few miles from the city! My bag was also one of the first out. Those two things made up for the long flight : )

I had to do a quick turnaround though because I had a big date to get to – a KERF reader date!

I took a quick look at the beautiful view of my hotel room and headed back downstairs

IMG_5061 (427x640)

I met this fun bunch of ladies for a walk and some froyo!

IMG_5062 (640x427)

Lorin, Kelley, Kaitlyn, Averie, Katie, Tammy, Jeanna, Meredith 

IMG_5069 (640x427)

We strolled along the waterfront and then ended our outing at Pinkberry!

IMG_5072 (427x640)

Salted Caramel!! With sea salt and choco chips

IMG_5073 (640x427)

Totally delicious! I loved the texture too. It’s neck and neck with Sweet Frog!

IMG_5074 (640x427)

Check out this amazing floor!!

IMG_5076 (640x427)

Fun fun times

IMG_5077 (640x427)

Man I am exhausted!! I have emails in my inbox and they’re just going to have to sit there. PSA: traveling is not the best time to email me with questions : )

Somehow I signed up for a 5K run at 6:30 tomorrow morning. I think I have juuuust enough time for 7.5 hours of sleep – if I get in my bed NOW!

    I sympathise with the flight thing…but felt the need to comment that 5 hours in Australia is pretty standard, and even then you’re still in the country! Shorter trips must be one of the many advantages of living in a bigger but more populated place like America 🙂

    I hope you enjoy your conference and San Diego (the frozen yoghurt looked like a nice welcome!).

    Kath it was wonderful seeing you tonight and meeting up with everyone else!

    The stroll (and those stairs..haha!) was lovely and I may even have snapped that pic of you with your pinkberry? holding it? If so, it turned out. Whew. 🙂 Glad you have a shot with the coveted Pinkberry.

    Your parting PSA about emailing you with questions…the past 3 weeks I have taken two trips (one international) and I have packed and moved! into a new house. And it never fails, the minute I get on an airplane, I get tons of emails from people with questions 🙂 I totally know what you mean on that one!

    I hope you have an awesome day and in just a few hours…you’ll be up…and running. Have fun!

    🙂

    We went to San Diego this past November from New Jersey and the flight felt TORTUROUS! I’m just too antsy to sit in a tiny little seat like that for so long! Of course it’s always worth it once you’re there but I definitely relate to feeling super crampy and ready to just get up!

    That Pinkberry combination of flavors looks absolutely incredible. Seriously – it’s 8AM and I haven’t eaten breakfast yet and now that’s all I want…haha.

    Have so much fun and ENJOY yourself!

    Pinkberry has salted caramel?! I need to be better about keeping on top of their flavors. 🙂

    I expecially like that they offer whipped cream – my favorite topping (aside from PB).

    I know the feeling. Longest flight ever…imagine it with an 8 month old who wants out of my lap more than I want out of my seat ;P So is the conference at the Conference Center? That place is huge. Looks like you’re staying in the GasLamp district 🙂

    Have fun. Levi ate an Oatmeal Smoothie this morning and we thought of you.
