Joe and I got to sleep in a bed again last night (and will for the whole time we are here!) because for some reason Ryan prefers to sleep on his air mattress instead of his pull down bed. But it seemed to work out perfectly for while we were here. Ryan's apt. is really nice- it kind of reminds me of a hotel because of the way it is layed out. For most of the day we just relaxed. I was so full still from our lunch out at Hodad's, that I wasn't even in the mood for any breakfast. The boys were hungry though, so we made some pancakes. I worked on blogs for a while along with a couple other trip things on the computer, and even had a chance to use Ryan's computer to upload photos. Although I already knew I liked Mac computers, between the desktop Mac that I used in Culver City and Ryan's Macbook, I have definitely decided that if we get another computer at some point, we will spend the extra money to get a Mac. They are so easy to use and are really great with photos and "artsy" stuff. This was the perfect time to get to San Diego because Ryan is off all day today (Friday) and the whole weekend! After playing some video games this morning, the boys went on a little adventure down to the beach. Ryan lives about a mile away from the beach, so it is perfect walking distance. I found out later that as they were walking around, they ended up getting some $1 fish tacos. I made a couple grilled cheese sandwiches while they were gone because I was finally hungry. We watched a movie today and made plans to meet up with one of Ryan's friends to go to a bar that had a great special: $2 drinks with a free appetizer! Around 6, the four of us walked over to Marissa's house (she is originally from Long Island and spent some time in Buffalo, too!). From there, we headed down towards the beach and to the restaurant/ bar called Johhny V's. There were a couple other friends of Marissa's there that she knew from school (Amanda, Tim and another Ryan). The appetizers were awesome and pretty filling. For some reason, Ryan and Marissa didn't eat all of their appetizers and shared a good portion of them with us. We had little cheeseburger sliders and fries, little taco rolls, pita and guacamole, chicken strips, and little mini donut holes. Joe and I each got 2 drinks (doubles- so we could get 4 appetizers!) and that was plenty. Ryan ended up buying Joey a couple more beers later on in the night, too. It was a lot of fun to get to hang out with someone we knew- Joey said it made him feel like we were at home. We did quite a bit of walking during the night and enjoyed just being out and about. For the first time in a really long time we went to bed after midnight. Today was a great start to our weekend with Ryan. We did not ride at all today.
