Our Vacation Home

Well, well, well, we are back for another year. We arrived safe and sound in the land of Morning Calm. We had an amazing vacation that lasted from Jan. 26th to Feb. 27th. For the first part of our trip we spent it relaxing at our parent's homes and eating as much food as we could. We stuffed our faces with home cooking and good old fast food. Besides family and friends we truly had missed the food from home the most. It was great to eat something not only familiar, but also delicious American food. Don't get me wrong Korea has many western chains and mostly good too, but they don't have many Mexican food restaurants, especially nothing to the equivalent to a Taco Fiesta or a Titos. We also got our fill of some sit down restaurants like Chili's, Outback, Black Angus, CPK, the Alcapolco etc. My most enjoyed meal had to have been the California Burrito from Taco Fiesta with three rolled Tacos with guacamole and cheese...mmmm!

So anyways, after a couple of days of relaxing with the parents, we had a birthday party for my grandma. It was a nice champagne brunch. It was great to see everyone especially our nieces. They have gotten so big.

The next week we saw some friends of ours and met their almost one year old. She is so adorable. On the weekend Latanya took a trip to San Fransisco with her sister to meet her friend Ayesha. They had a wonderful time catching up and visiting Ayesha's boyfriends family in San Jose. I pretty much watched HGTV all weekend. Oh how we missed House Hunter's International, our fav.

The next week we got in some shopping and ran some errands. It was great to go to Target. Just reading in Barnes and Noble was awesome too. At the end of the week we took a trip down to San Diego, first stop Taco Fiesta. We met my brother Michael and his girlfriend Michelle. She made us some good Indian food. We hung around our kegerator and had a great night catching up.

The next day we met up with my other brother Bill and our nieces, Madelyn and Cecelia. We all went to the San Diego Zoo. Latanya and I have never been to the San Diego Zoo before just the L.A. Zoo, and boy were we impressed. The girls showed us around. Madelyn is so smart, she was our little tour guide. After a long day at the Zoo my sister-in-law met us for dinner along with Michael and Michelle. After dinner the adults went back to Michael's place and we all played a little cards (The Double Dutch) for some good old laughs.

The next week we did some more going back and forth between parents. I went to Vegas with my two buddies. We did not win too big but fared well enough, gotta love the roulette.

The week after that we met my aunts in LA for dinner. I was really nice visiting with them. Later in the week we celebrated Latanya's sister Courtney's birthday. Latanya planned the whole thing with a Twilight the saga theme. It was fantastic. She really did a great job. After that it was time to go back to Korea. Our vacation was perfect. It was really long and we accomplished a lot. We miss everyone already. But we know that we are back in Korea for a reason and a specific goal. We want to save enough money to be able to buy a house and set up our future financially.
