Alright, its been a while since the San Diego Trip... so we'll suffice it to say... beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... I will be visiting again... hopefully with my wife this time!
I'll spare you all the gory business details...The Sharepoint 
Conference was informative and well worth my company's expense. PLUS it was at the Hilton at Torrey Pines on the week of the Buick Invitational... I didn't get to see any pros out there, but i was this close (imagine me holding my index finger and thumb very close together up to an invisible "blog camera") 
--:SHRUBBERY SIDENOTE:--
There was some very odd, grass-like, ground-covering plants that were everywhere (see left) It was a brilliant mixture of the aloe vera plant and bermuda... but with flowers... it was pretty and ugly at the same time. It was everywhere, but I (being a midwest native) had never seen it before.
--:END SIDENOTE:--
Next we went down to the Gas Lamp District in downtown San Diego... definately not quite Sixth Street in Austin, TX (less partying and more chill than Sixth) but very cool non-the-less. Didn't have much time to do much but walk around and have a nice seafood dinner (complete with sushi as an app-a-teaser)
Finally, that night it was off to Coronodo Island. My boss (the one with the white, or blonde as he like to say, hair in the 2nd SD Post) is a Navy man and was stationed in Coronodo for a time. So he took us and showed us around the small island. We walked on the beach at night and walked up to the Hotel Del Coronodo . 120 years old 
and still as magnificent as ever.
Sea Lions IN THE WILD!!!
In N Out Burger - My first trip... WON'T be my last... very good... for a fast food joint.
A beach picture... to be jealous of...
A tree picture... to be wondering why the picture was even taken.... of.

The funky groundcover plant is called ice plant. We grow it on hillsides and yards to keep things from sliding and it also doesn't catch fire as easily as dry brush. It prevents 2 of the 3 major problems with life in SoCal: mud slides & fires. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with preventing problem #3: earthquakes.
