Semper Fidelis

Well since the San Diego airport is so generously offering me free wifi as I sit here and wait for my flight back to Minneapolis, I figured why not share what my trip to Cali was all about...
Though it was MUCH too short, it was a great three days out here. I arrived late thursday night to attend my big brother's graduation from Marine basic training at MCRD San Diego on Friday morning.
After 12 weeks of intense training, my brother is now a MARINE!!

I couldn't be more proud. It was so great to see him again and spend the weekend with the entire family. We went to sea world again just like when we were kids and I won a GIANT ELEPHANT PILLOW PET!!

Coolest. Thing. Ever.

Unfortunately, I'm on my way back to reality now.  But I get to see my brother again soon and actually talk to him on the phone at least! Plus Thanksgiving is in only 17 days!! Not only does that mean a break from school, but DELICIOUS food. There's nothing that makes a broke college student happier than a yummy, home-cooked meal.

Well, Gotta go! My plane is boarding.

Stay Classy, San Diego.

... And thanks for stopping by.
