4th of July & The Rest of the Week

This was John’s second week of work, and so far he really likes it.  He’s getting the hang of what he’ll be doing, learning a lot, and settling in.  Aside from being another busy week at work, John and I did several fun things to keep us busy outside of work. 

On Tuesday, it was a bit cloudy all day, and around sunset we happened to take a walk at the perfect time.  The sun was just setting over the city, and the sun was peaking out of the clouds in all the right spots.  It was so colorful and a gorgeous sunset.

  



On Wednesday night, John and I met Jed and Jamile for dinner.  We ate at one of my favorite San Diego restaurants, Sushi Deli.  It had been a couple weeks since we’d seen them, so we had a blast catching up and enjoying each other’s company.  After dinner, John and I met up with his friends John and Alec, who both went to high school with John.  We hung out for a bit and ended up playing John’s favorite game, Cards Against Humanity.  


Thursday we both had off for 4th of July, and spent the day relaxing in the San Diego sunshine.  We heard the traffic for the fireworks is always insane, so John and I decided to walk from our apartment to the bay to watch the fireworks.  It wasn’t too far of a walk (a little over five miles round trip), so we figured it’d be better than driving in gridlocked traffic.  The fireworks in the bay were so amazing, they don’t call it the “Big Bay Boom” for nothing.  Fireworks are launched off of four different barges around the bay, so you can easily see the fireworks from pretty much anywhere along the shoreline.  We camped out in a park right along the bay, and had a great view of one of the barges that was just offshore from the park.  The video below shows all four barges of fireworks going off at the finale.  They were such amazing fireworks; we had a blast!

Yesterday we just hung out after work; we didn’t do anything too major.  But now we have the whole weekend ahead of us!  I’m sure we’ll end up doing lots of fun things!
