Our First Visitor

For my 30th birthday, Greg surprised me by flying Elizabeth out for the weekend! I had no idea and was completely surprised and delighted! He also signed us up to participate in the Great Urban Race, a scavenger hunt similar to the Amazing Race seen on tv. We spent 3 and ½ hours running, walking, and riding public transportation around San Diego doing various tasks and taking pictures. It was a lot of fun and Elizabeth got to experience the city in a special way! The pictures are posted on the GUR 2009 posting.

Beautiful San Diego

San Diego is such a great place! We've enjoyed going on walks and biking down to the bay, which is about a mile from the apartment. We went riding today and I brought along the camera to share the sights! Although its been warm the last month or so, today the temperature was in the low 70s and sunny - couldn't ask for much better!!

This memorial is located near a place called Sea Port Village. Greg was chosen to pose for the statue on the right while he was in the navy...

Our New Home

We are settling in to our new life in San Diego! Here are a few pics from the new apartment - we have quite the view!


We can see the city on one side, and the bay out the front.

The airport is also visible from the windows, and the planes fly right overhead.

The sunsets are pretty amazing too!!

Honeymooners

We cruised with Royal Carribean to the Florida Keys, Cozumel, and Beliz City. The ship we were on is in the first picture. Greg is standing on the boat deck in front of the port in Key West. We got off the boat that day and rented beach cruisers and rode around town. In Cozumel, we went snorkeling; Greg took a few pictures of the marine life. It was a fun experience for both of us! In Belize, we had to take a smaller boat to the shore (pic). The sunset is a view from the balcony of our room!

My arrival to the house by limo, which was a surprise for Greg...

My dad walked me up the sidewalk to meet Greg. The chairs were initially planned to be set up in the yard for guests, but the rain was threatening so everyone was up on the porch!

After the ceremony, we danced...

Cut and ate cake...

And took many photos with the photographer.
