My friend Ingrid was in town for business and pleasure, so I made it a point to get together with her while she was here. Ingrid moved to Virginia fron San Diego a while back because her husband is Naval officer. Although I haven't met up with Ingrid many times, I miss her being on the West Coast.

I had the pleasure of meeting ingrid's best friend Miki. It's funny. I had never met Miki before, but I felt I knew her because of all the pictures I have seen of her on Ingrid's photostream at Flickr. :)

Since Ingrid and I are both half Korean, it seemed fitting to meet at a Korean restaurant, Min Sok Chon in San Diego for dinner. We had a great time catching up and eating. Ingrid ordered a large Raspberry Soju, a Korean rice wine, not knowing it would be a huge carafe!

Nice Lunch with Toni and Friends

Toni and I met with some friends for lunch today. We had a great time sharing stories and catching up with Susan, Judy and Hillary, a few of Toni's middle school teacher colleagues. We were entirely too loud and boisterous, but we had fun. We talked for so long, I was thinking the restaurant might charge us rent.

Taffy turns 5 years old today. I can't believe she's that old already. Her diminuitive form makes her still look like a puppy. Toni and I love her so much. Happy birthday Taffy! :)

Why Does This Happen?

On a recent trip to Hoover Dam with the Los Angeles Flickr Group, I discovered this delicious Snapple Apple Plum White Tea. It had a yummy flavor and was so refreshing after exploring Hoover Dam on a warm Spring day.

The thing is, why do I find these really cool foods, or in this case, drink, during my travels, but then am not able to find it when I get back home? This happened to me before with Snapple Kiwi Tea in Hawaii. I guess it's just one of life's mysteries! Hehe

This Friday I'm going on my first out of state Flickr meet. A small group of photographer friends I know from Flickr will be going with me to Las Vegas for a weekend of shooting and fun.

The group organizer has a full itinerary for the weekend. During our stay, we will be taking photographs of Hoover Dam, the Boneyard, the Strip at night and Red Rock Canyon. I'm sure I'll get in some photos of my friends and the food we eat.
