Things To Do In San Diego: March 23-26, 2015

Well, I have to say it was a great weekend. On Friday, Darren worked early in the day so we could fully enjoy the Banker's Hill Art & Craft Beer Festival and Spring Thing at MCASD. We made it to the Casbah for Cory Branan and Jenny Owen Youngs, but since he'd been up since 6am, called it a night and I finished by catching Moon Hooch at Soda Bar. On Saturday morning, we met with the pet behaviorist at the Humane Society, then went to the main campus to finish paperwork. I have to say that I had a total crying meltdown there. Maybe it was the excitement of our new dog, but I just felt this crushing sadness at all the amazing animals there who need homes. I particularly fell in love with Maya, a gray pit mix. Someone should go get her immediately. But all in all, it was a joyful day, we got the paperwork, had a nice lunch, and then picked up our dog from Sean who was fostering her. It's been a couple days now and she is certainly awesome, hopefully Kiwi will come around and they'll get used to sharing space. On Sunday, Nova had her first piano rehearsal which was pretty cool, especially since it is rare for her to be with us on a weekend. Of course, she's head over heels about the dog, too. There's a lot going on this week, so Tuesday through Thursday archives are after the jump.
