San Diego Part Deux

So, here's the rest of the Trip in no particular order.

 Here's Suzy in the airport about to get crushed by this giant tidal wave of legos. Yes, those are legos (TM).
This is an Archery Range. Where apparently you can just come shoot your bow and arrow for fun and free, which probably comes in handy for...

These guys. This is a gathering of the Medieval Club. This was their giant Melee where they were all battling each other. 

Here's another picture, both taken out of a moving car as we weren't sure what the reaction would be if non Medieval's (Muggles perhaps?) showed up. We'd probably get beaten and placed in stocks or something. 

Here was a GQ Squirre, or chipmunk, or some other kind of ground rodent. I'm not the best wildlifian in the world. 

So....one of the highlights of the trip was this Sailboat we rented. And Sailed. With little to no training (they did give us the 3 minutes of "This is the Boom, this is the main sail, this is the JibJab sail (I'm sure it was something like that)".  Anyway, They let us take out this boat. What they didn't tell us until after we had successfully made it back in (after only a couple of tries too, at one point we were within 3 feet of the dock and had to turn completely around and make a huge circle to get back since we were headed directly into the wind) was that they make most of their money rescuing people who can't make it back in ($75 a pop). 

Here's me, not getting knocked in the head by the "Boom"

Here's Suzy having more fun than humanly possible. At this point she was half Dolphin half Human so that she could have that level of fun. 

Here is a selfie picture. Or maybe a bothie? What do you call it when there's two people in the picture?

here's Suzy unfurling the Jib sail so we could really get some speed. 

We didn't do the water jet pack, but you could for about $300. 

Suzy is a tree hugger. More of a tree lover, this happened to be one of the trees she saw that she fell in love with (they were all over, and apparently in Argentina as well). She said this is some kind of Eucalyptus tree, but I sure didn't see any Koala's so I'm not convinced. 

Here was a Pine tree (there we multiples) that Suzy really liked. It looked like a fake tree that someone did in layers, but is real. 

I thought this was a fun gathering of seagulls. They all started chanting "Mine, Mine, Mine" at one point. 

Suzy bravely climbing down to the shore from the man-made pathway.

There were all these cool tidepools with various types of aquatic life in them. 

Another Bothie.

I don't know if you can tell, but there are some Seals in the background. Also, I'm wearing my Micron swag, gotta represent my homies in the hood, you know it. Yo. 

More prettiness called flowers and some Seals. 

We're not sure why, but apparently having your nose in the air is the thing to do. 

I liked this picture. 

didn't think much of this one, especially for $17,000. 

Nor did I think much of this work of "Art" for only $9,000. We went to a gallery, they had some actual decent stuff. but those pieces were all about $35,000 or more. So, apparently all I can not really afford is trashy art that I could do.

My favorite part of the sailing trip was the JibJab sail. I was wondering if it spontaneously started dancing in the wind as you sailed along?
