I got to go to San Diego with my brother, my sister-in-law and my mom. It was pretty cool. One night we went to this one part of San Diego, I can't remember the name but we were by the Midway. anyway we asked these people in a store where we could find some good seafood. this lady told us that there was a place just past the Midway and that it was a reasonable price, and not to far of a walk - HA! she must have been a marathon runner or something. so we walked and walked and walked... and then walked a little more. finally we got to it and found the menu outside displaying expensive prices... so my brother suggested that we take a taxi back to where we were. it wasn't to far by car, so the price would be around 5$ or 6$ for all of us. We saw a hotel across the street with taxis all lined up. Now keep in mind this hotel was NOT the hotel that we were staying at. So we go up to one of the cab drivers standing outside his cab, and ask him about how much it will be to get back to that place we were at. He said "ohh about 5$" and told a cab driver that was already in his car where we were going. My brother got in the front seat and the three of us got in the back. My brother decided to double check with this new cab driver, "so, it's going to be around 5$ right?" the cab driver got really angry, "don't try to make a deal with me!" He points to the hotel in front of him and says, "you are staying in a 200$ a night hotel and you want to make a 5$ deal!?" right away my brother said, "you know, we're not interested." "then get the hell out of my cab!" So we promptly got out of that cab and walked back. As we were waking the first cab driver yelled "hey I can give you a ride!" "no, were fine." my brother replied. we walked back and found a cheaper seafood restaurant. ...it wasn't good.
ha ha but other than all that the rest of the trip was fun.

Whoa, is this like Jessica Howard posting on her blog, or...?
Good to see you back. Sorry to hear about the stupid cab drivers. Hope you post a lot over the summer.

Yeah...I love it...nothing like a memorable cab ride to jump start the "real world" syndrome. You go graduate!
Seriously, if you want GOOD seafood (well, fried for sure, or boiled...) New Orleans is a great place to walk ..... and take a memorable cab ride!!!! Just ask Eleanor.
Congratulations on the graduation and our best wishes for your future endeavors.
Sorry to have missed you at the ceremonies but...
Hope to see you on the 4th.

It's cool to see you blogging again. (I had taken a three or four month break and am recently back myself)
How are you doing?!?
