Let the Games Begin!

We're having a great weekend here in Dallas. Our friends Dave and Laura Kate are in town so we've been having a blast hanging out with them and Mark and Vanessa. Fun times!

Right now Josh and I are getting ready to attend a friend's wedding. And while our backs were turned, somehow Knox managed to hook a bucket to his tractor. I mean a basket (which was on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf) to his walker. :) He is thoroughly enjoying giving the basket a ride.

Reminded me of someone else I know...in Vermont. I guess Knox is getting practiced up for his next visit!

Knox also thought Yahtzee looked pretty exciting, apparently. Boy after my own heart. :)

I can tell we are gearing up for some very fun exploring adventures in this apartment.

Let the games begin! :)

My Top 11. #7 and #6

My Top 11.

Characteristics of an Awesome City
(continued)

#7: Trees Trees Trees

No one likes concrete jungles. We need greenery...trees, flowers, plants. San Diego is one of the prettiest cities I've ever seen as far as trees go. There were palm trees everywhere...and more than that. Often when we were driving around we didn't even feel like we were in a city...there were so many trees everywhere! Beautiful!

On a scale of 1 to 10 San Diego definitely gets a 10 for its trees!

#6: Shopping

A drizzly day on vacation can mean only one thing. SHOPPING!

On a scale of 1 to 10 San Diego only gets a 6.75 for shopping. They had a cool open air mall downtown, and another larger one about 10 minutes away. We loved those outdoor malls (although they kind of confused our strategy of saving shopping for a rainy day) and they had some great stores.

But we were disappointed when we went to the Outlet Center in nearby Carlsbad. Outlet Centers are a big deal to me. And this one was very small. No J.Crew outlet. Boo. I have to knock off some points for that.

We didn't take any shopping pictures so here's Knox chillin' in the hotel room! :)
