Brian and I began our Spring Break on Sunday bright and early. Right when Brian got home we got the rental car all packed up and ready. We did a quick overview through the house making sure we didn't forget everything and got right onto the road. We had a twelve hour drive ahead of us going straight to San Diego. Brian decided to drive for the first part so that he was tired when he tried to go to sleep. He made it to about Salt Lake then I took over. I then made it to Beaver when we pulled over for gas and since Brian was awake he was ready to take over the driving again. We were so sore by the time we got to Las Vegas so we decided to pull over and redeem our free coupons for a show and then eat some lunch so we'd get a quick break. It was a great walk around that we both needed. We enjoyed the warm sun while walking around. That was the last time we were in the sun for a couple days since San Diego had rain right when we entered and it didn't stop before we left. We did finally get to San Diego late after a little detour in Barstow. Luckily our trusty new GPS got us unlost and back on the right track. Once we got to San Diego we were hungry and exhausted. We headed straight to the restaurant Fred's Mexican food since we had found a coupon that let us both eat for the price of one and it was in Old Town which allowed us to see it. The food was good but we had some fun with the show of the group next to us. We then headed to the hotel and went to bed. In the morning we got up and headed right over the San Diego State University to check out the campus. Brian had set up an appointment with them so a guy was ready to meet us and lead Brian to the classroom where he was going to sit through a part of the class. He loved the class and got a really good feeling about the school and getting accepted. Once we were done at the school we headed to get in a few of the sights before leaving for Arizona. We got in some major sight seeing. The first stop was the U.S. Olympic Training Center. Brian really wanted to go here so it was the first stop. We then headed toward Seaport Village and made some detours on the way there by going over the huge Bridge that lead San Diego to Coronado. It was a great view of the skyline of San Diego. We then headed back to Seaport Village where I got a quick view of the ocean. The one thing I really wanted to do on our trip. Since the trip was more an investment in grad school the sight seeing was a bonus. We then left and headed to Arizona, another six hour drive.
