Vacation Day 2: Not Totally Vacationy

The main reason we were able to take this trip is Jason's job. This helped us indirectly because he can use his frequent traveler points and miles to pay for things like my flight, the rental car, and hotel. But it also helped directly because Jason also was in town to do a roadshow, which means his company paid his airfare and the parts of our hotel and rental car that were directly related to that. Today was the roadshow, so Jason spent his day doing that. Here is looking all professional in his suit. I spent the day laying around and reading and watching tv. I really enjoyed that because I never have days like that at home.

After the roadshow, we went out to dinner with our friends the Tildens, who moved to California earlier in the year. Two of Jason's co-workers who were in town for the roadshow also came. We had a lot of fun and the food was super fresh-tasting and good. I really wanted to eat fish tacos while in San Diego so this was an excellent opportunity to do that.

After dinner, we walked down the pier to see more of the ocean, though it was foggy and cool once again. On our way back, we saw a lobster fisherman (or lobster catcherman? whatever you want to call him), pulling in a lobster. He was pretty excited about eating it for dinner tomorrow, but he was willing to let Jason hold it. Fun fact: California lobsters don't have claws so they can't really hurt you. Here is Jason with the lobster. I would have liked to name it Larry, but I have found it's best not to name future food.
