Statue of Limitations

So what exactly are the rules when it comes to doing cheese-ball touristy things? How long after you move someplace do you get to do the ridiculous without looking ridiculous? Mike was in Chicago all week so I took liberty to put quite a few miles on the Pilot. Besides wanting to go on adventures I was also looking to score a couple of free lunches.

On Monday I met my mom in Temecula at Red Robin. On Tuesday I called my father-in-law and suggested that I bring the girls to Coronado for lunch. On Wednesday we hit up Sea World again. This time we drove into the parking lot at 2:45pm for a 3:00pm show and drove out of the parking lot at 3:39pm. On Thursday I drove back to Coronado with the girls and took them on the Coronado Ferry. We never got off. We just ate our lunch and Emma screamed, "Hi fishies" for a solid hour. Thank goodness we were not with the same group of people the entire hour. I'm sure some people were secretly wishing she would fall overboard.

Today I decided to explore the 52 freeway. I had no idea where it went but figured I couldn't get too lost and ended up finding out that it goes to La Jolla. Who knew? The exploring is fun, but also frustrating. I know Los Angeles County SO well and I don't know San Diego County well at all. Mike's friends called me Zagats and now I wouldn't even qualify for the free local paper. In time I'll get there. In the meantime I know the girls are getting tired of our exploring. Today Grace asked if we could just go straight home from her friends house with exploring. I'm going to have to start thinking of ways to make it more fun or to get her really turned around so she doesn't know that we are exploring.
