So, this week I left on Monday for sunny San Diego, CA. I had been looking forward to this trip for months now. I went with a few people from my office, and our plan was to really learn more about the Hispanic shopper and how we could reach them better with our products. So, early Monday morning we set out of XNA for San Diego. When we got there, you automatically thought it was amazing as soon as you stepped off the plan. The weather was perfect, you can see the palm trees and smell the ocean. We had a conference call, and then took in lunch at this place called World Famous (2nd photo below). We sat on their porch, where we could see people walking on the pier, surfing, and laying on the beach. The whole time I am thinking, do these people not work here. I mean really, they were all over the place and not in "work" clothes.
I didn't get a picture of people surfing so I found this one online...it was awesome watching the waves and the surfing...
the food here was amazing...so far San Diego was as I remembered it from several years ago...
Then the real fun began, we started walking stores, and about the 3rd store I started to feel HORRIBLE. I thought it was car sickness (I don't get carsick), and so I took a little bit of break while the other 2 girls went into store. I started to feel better, and then by dinnertime, I was done. I quickly figured out it was not the car, but the nice stomach bug had decided to travel with me to San Diego...I mean how could it. So, we quickly went back to hotel after dinner (of which I had NONE from them authenic mexican place). I proceeded to stay here for the next day and half...
I ended up going to bed at 8:00 PM and sleeping until 7:00 AM, and if you know me that is not normal. I then tried to get up and get ready to then realize I was not going to make it. So, I spent all day in my hotel sleeping, watching tv, working a litle, and pretty much recovering before we fly back the next day.
On Wed., I woke up feeling a little better, but not 100%. None the less, I had to get out and head home. We started off with a great breakfast, which was the first food I had eaten really in a day and a half (other than toast and soup the day before). It was awesome! We sat outside and enjoyed the nice scenery, at least I got to see something other than the inside of the hotel.
Me and my friend Jen...sure wish it would have been a better trip to get to hang with her more
And to top it off we ended the trip with In & Out Burger. I know, you are thinking you were just sick, but who can pass this up, and I had kept down all the other food I had eaten (pancakes). :) So, I did eat a little of it, and then we headed to the airport.
Although San Diego wasn't all that I had hoped, there were a few things that we did get to see before I got sick. Hopefully my next trip to LA in a couple of weeks will be a better experience for me.
By the way, I forgot to tell you while I was chilling in my hotel room sick, Chris and Bailey weren't feeling too hot here at home either. Beware people, this stomach bug lingers in your household!
