Labor Day Weekend...a little late

The weekend started off with me working until 8 Saturday night. When I got off Andy and I headed down to La Mesa (like we always do to see Andy's dad). This time we decided to go out with Matt, Andy's best friend. They hadn't been to Norma Jeans (a karoke bar) in a long time so that is where we went. All of the sudden Matt comes and tells me that he signed the two of us (Matt and I) up for singing Love Shack! I guess there is no backing out once you are already signed up. So, Matt and I went up and Sang Love Shack. I never knew I had it in me. Andy says I did a pretty good job (although all he had to compare me to were drunk people...besides he has to tell me that, right?). I didn't know some of the words in the song, even though they were on the screen I didn't know the tune in that part so Matt had to sing it to me while I had to sing in the Mic. LOL! That was an experiance :) We made it home around 2 am.


Sunday I decided I wanted to go to the Mexican border. Since everybody out here (including my mexican friends) tells me that going to TJ is too dangerous and don't do it, Andy, Jeanette and I went out to the desert where Andy used to cross the border all the time growing up. He said there was a big post that showed where the border was so of course I wanted to take a SAW us on the other side of the fence but if you admit guilt do they have to do something? We just sat there and let him lecture us for a few minutes. Telling us it's a BIG NO NO! And it's illegal and all that fun stuff. So then Andy says "well, in that case we didn't go over there, thanks for letting us know" and we drove off. We had to go through two border patrol checks and let me tell you....it was a little nerve racking knowing that they knew we had gone over there. It was exciting at the same time...But I got my pictures and that is all that matters :) Jeanette has them right now but I will post them as soon as I get them!

Monday wasn't quite as exciting. Andy and I were going to go to the Zoo but when we got there of course it was really busy. It is right next to Balboa Park so we walked around the park instead. We went to the San Diego Natural History Museum and learned about water and erosion, dinasours and other exciting things :) Walked around a little more and then headed home. It was a wonderful weekend! Here are some pictures from the park.
