San Diego Road Trip, June 2006
The road trip to San Diego was a blast, overall we had a great time. I want to thank John and Karen for letting us stay with them as well as Tyler for making the roadtrip with me as opposed to flying directly in to San Diego, it definetly made the drive go quicker to have someone to talk to.
Full trip report below…
Day 1
Arrived in just over 5 hours and headed up to my uncles house, showered/changed, and made our way down to the wedding reception which was at a marina in Mission Bay. The reception itself was nice, only got to see Jared & Laura for a little bit which is to be expected I guess… After reception headed back to John’s house where I ended up crashing on couch while attempting to watch a movie.
Day 2
Got up and headed down to Mission Beach to hang out. Took us about a half hour to find a parking spot which we finally found about 15min away from our destination. Had lunch, watched the world cup game and checked out the boardwalk area for about 3 hours. Afterwards we cruised around La Jolla for a bit, then decided we were in the mood for some poker so we headed back to John’s house to try and google us a casino who had a tournement. Found the Sycuan which was only about 20min away, headed over there for the night where I managed to split 1st 7 ways in a 120 person NL tourney (+$600), we then stuck around to play some 2-4 NL where I won a couple more hundred, overall a good night!
Day 3
Got up and headed to breakfast with John and Karen then hit the road. Managed to make it back to Phoenix in about 5 hours. Got to say that I really love the new car, it handled amazing, even at 130 ;) Once back in town we grabbed some In N’ Out then I dropped Tyler off at the airport and headed home to do laundry, pack and prepare for the next trip.
