San Diego

We headed out to San Diego last weekend, for a quick trip & a wedding. We got to spend some time with Brent's sister Sarah & the Nebraska crew.

We bummed around on Friday, seeing a few SD sights. We hung out on Coronado Island for a few hours at the Hotel del Coronado. It was quite the hotel! We hope to spend a weekend there sometime, maybe we can round up a family vacation. :)

 Then, onto Kansas City Barbeque or AKA the "Top Gun" Bar in downtown SD. They filmed parts of Top Gun there. Kind of a dive, but still fun to grab a drink there.

 Then, onto the wedding, it was great seeing all of Brent's college friends & wives! The wedding was beautiful! Great location at the Rancho Bernardo Inn! Awesome weather!

My 2 goals were to FINISH the marathon & to finish under 4:00 hours! (just squeaked under that one!) It was quite an experience.....not sure if I'll do the full marathon again, for sure a half marathon :) but who knows :)
