San Diego? Don't mind if we do!

This weekend we celebrated Mr and Mrs Steven and Jessica Moore's wedding in sunny San Diego! Steven went to Katy HS with Josh and he met Jessica when he randomly moved to Cali 2 years ago, nice goin' Steven!

We stayed for 5 days and it was an amazing time. We stayed at Hotel Indigo in the "Gaslamp" district downtown. Kinda like Houston's "midtown" or Dallas' "uptown." Very hip and fun. Look how cute these rooms were! So trendy!



Andrea and Charlie (Panda Tat) Mertz were able to come and we were SO excited to see them. It has been over 3 months since they moved to Cleveland and we've been missing our fun times together!


In classic Mertz style, they went on a Segway tour (only 2 peeps that were in the tour) of the city, we didn't partake. But one of the adventures we HAD to get in on...


La Jolla Sea Cave Kayak Tours! Check out these wetsuits. So awesome. Best $5 I ever spent.


Here's a group shot before we went out on the freezing cold Pacific ocean. I was a little nervous (rumors of Great White spottings). But, I felt safer since Josh and I were kyaking tandem style. I don't think I could have paddled that thing myself!

Andrea, Charlie, Jacob, Erin, me, and Josh



Hotel Indigo has a bar on the 9th floor, check out this great view of the baseball stadium (Padres I think? lol)

Getting the basics down.
Beautiful view of the California coast.



Wild Sea Hubbys... Wild Sea Lions!

These houses in La Jolla were worth 15 million! The the late Dr. Suess and owner of Vanity Fair were among the residents.

PEEK A BOO little Harper Seal



Heading back to shore after paddle over some sharks...crazy!



Hotel Indigo had a bar on the 9th floor, great view of the Padre's baseball stadium!




I think this is Thursday night...they sort of blur together. But more friends came into town. Remko, Natalie, Nowaks, Marisa and Andy



Here's a pic of some of the girls. I called us "The Real Housewives of Katy, Texas" I think people would watch! =) PS: Katy boys must like them some brunettes!


Jessica looks so beautiful!Two great things about the ceremony. 1. Steven's brother is a minister, so he married them and had the best, most personal wedding messege that made me cry. 2. No joke, some birds flew over and POOPED on the groom. Literally, everyone was laughing and he used his hankie to wipe it. How ironic, how Steven Moore?
The reception was at the Diamond Tower and it was AMAZING! So nice, open bar, great view and great friends. Good job Moores.




My handsome date.

It was very chilly for this pic!
We had a wonderful time, crazy drinking and dancing and I can't wait to reunite with The Real Housewives of Katy, TX again!! The boys have 10 yr reunion in March, whahoo!!


Yes, Josh is covered in sweat from dancing. That's how Nowaks do it!

I really liked the group shot of you guys in front of the fake palm tree backdrop. Because there's just no where to get a picture in front of real palm trees in San Diego. Haha...

But seriously, it looks like y'all had fun!
