You Went to Kansas City for Vacation?

The title of this post was the most common reaction to my trip to Kansas City. Here are some pictures, photo credits all me:

San Diego: Arrival

Day 1:

It was raining when I arrived in San Diego.  I here this place has the most perfect weather anywhere in the country and of course it rains.  I was exhausted from getting up before the sun to leave from Baltimore to get to San Diego.  My flight was also delayed which didn't help.  I normally have trouble sleeping on planes except for when we are going from the gate to the runway or waiting to take off.  I ended up falling asleep and pretty much sleeping through the take off.  I awoke sometime during the flight with something warm on my shoulder.  It was the passenger next to me, resting their head on me.

Upon arriving in San Diego, I found my way to the rental car shuttles.  My rental car shuttle driver was very friendly.  I got a Kia Forte which was great because I was hoping for a Korean car.  I really like it for what it's worth.  It has Bluetooth, satellite radio, 3.5mm port, USB port, a lot of other bells and whistles that you normally wouldn't expect.  It also had some sort of "Eco" mode which I never figured out.  Sometimes it was on and sometimes it just flickered off...not sure

I was told to visit In-n-Out Burger while in California so I headed over to one around 2pm (late lunch I know).  This place was still packed at this late afternoon hour.  I ordered a #2 with the burger animal style. I finally got my food and honestly wasn't all that impressed.  The fries could have been better and the burger was average....meh

Meh...it was ok


I just lounged around the rest of the day and got Pei Wei for dinner.
