31 Great Years

Nici, my friend from college, came out to San Diego last weekend to celebrate her 31st birthday with the Teachs!  Nici is one of those visitors where you don't have to clean your commodes or cook any fancy dinners.  Just give her some Dr. Pepper and the Beach and she is happy!  So, I gave her some Dr. P and the Beach and she left with a smile on her face :)

Since Jackson has started to come out of his "mommy/stranger anxiety/shy/cranky" stage, he warmed up to Nici right away (well, maybe it took 1/2 a day).  He even let her hold him when I was in the same room- for those of you who have been around Jackson in the past two months know that is a HUGE breakthrough!

Drinking Dr. Pepper and going to the beach weren't the only things we did while Nici was in town.  We went to Cordiano Winery for some yummy pizza, wine and a beautiful sunset.  We had a girls day out, which consisted of pedicures, a trip to the Yellow Deli and a run through Trader Joes for some yummy snacks.  On her last day here we went to Caprillo National Monument to see the Veterans Cemetery that overlooks the ocean and down to SeaPort Village for some last minute browsing.

Thanks for coming out, Nici.  We had fun!
