Long time no blog! We know we've been slackers, but we have been jam-packed enjoying So Cal and entertaining visitors. We'd promise to be better, but there's no guarantees. So, what have we done in July? Well for starters, we enjoyed the company of cousin Jimmy, brother Adam, Mom DiGiulio, and Parents Gevarter (and so she doesn't feel left out, lots of Allie and Greg as well). I think we have actually seen more family out here this past month than we would have in the same timeframe back home. We enjoyed sharing all our favorite places with everyone, and look forward to more visitors in the months to come.
We also partook in an iconic San Diego event - Comic Con! For all the non-Geeks out there, its a HUGE convention of nerds, gathered to dress up in crazy costumes, check out comic books, and preview some TV shows and movies that relate to comics, super heroes, sci-fi, and general nerdiness. One of those is LOST, and Franny couldn't stand being 4 blocks from the convention and not going to see the last of the annual Lost panels, so we made some last minute arrangements and got in. It was amazing, probably one of the coolest things we've attended out here - got to see Michael Emerson aka Ben up close and personal....I could go on and on about this, but to spare those who have never heard of Dharma, I'll move on. But if you want to know more about that, let me know - there are still MONTHS to speculate about the final season.
Other activities have included seeing Body Worlds at the Natural History museum, golfing, hiking in Torrey Pines State Park, checking out the Glider Port, a few more Padres games, a shopping(economy boosting) trip to Fashion Valley mall (thanks Mom/Dad), a new-found addiction to the Food Network (thanks Mom D) , LOTS of good food in Seaport Village, Downtown, La Jolla, and Little Italy, beaching it up (intense games of Bocci Ball and continued surfing), and lots more. Matt bought MLB network so he's been enjoying catching the games every afternoon with the time difference.
We'll do our best to do these a little more frequently so that it's not just a big recap. Lots of exciting weekends coming up - next weekend we're doing a West Coast (Gilmore-less) Team Conshy BBQ at Trev and Tara's (and meeting little Sean!) in Tahoe, then we'll have our first trip back East the end of August for a wedding double-header (thanks Jimmy, Lauren, Tara, and Matt for planning so effectively for us!:) ), and we just booked a trip to Big Bear Lake for our first anniversary / Labor Day.
Lots of new albums up: http://picasaweb.google.com/fmdigiulio
