San Diego Trip- Nov 2010

Every fall, Tyron has a neuroscience conference somewhere in the US. It was first in D.C. and then in Chicago and in 2010 it was in San Diego. It was SO nice to leave the cold weather in Utah and get some sunshine and spend time at the beach. Luckily the week we were there it was gorgeous! It got cold and rainy the week after we left- so perfect timing! Tyron fell in love with San Diego (he's still super obsessed with it so don't bring it up!). He was already applying to UCSD but it bumped up to #1 on his list. He ended up not getting in and was bummed about it, but realized that if he did go there he would have spent all of his time at the beach instead of school!

Tyron & his buddies from the lab who were also at the conference.

The 2 pictures above are hilarious & must be explained! So Jake wanted to catch a seagull (who doesn't?). So he dug a trench in the sand, climbed in, and covered himself with a towel. Someone then put food bits on top of the towel. Jake laid there for 20 mins or so until he felt a seagull climb on top and start eating the food. He then sat up and threw the towel over the bird! He actually came super close to catching it!! I ran to get a picture, but didn't make it :) Classic.

Tyron LOVED boogey boarding! We spent a few hours almost everyday we were in SD at the beach. Tyron couldn't get enough. I was already 2-3 months pregnant so I wasn't hardcore with the water sports or sightseeing. I way overdid it the first day and made myself sick.
