you stay classy, san diego

song of the day: elliot smith, pretty (ugly before)

we got back from san diego last monday. i had a conference to attend and jonathan was able to tag along. it was a great time. we haven't really been on vacation since our honeymoon... i know, tragic. last year we went to napa w/ family for a dear friend's wedding, but nothing just the two of us. anyway... we went to a padres game, ate at some fantastic restaurants, spent hours debating over which long board to buy (only to find out it can't be taken on the plane, so we didn't get it), mastered the metro, soaked up some California sun and got a sunburn. it was great! jonathan is so much fun to be with... he makes the smallest trips into an adventure. oh, the conference went well, too.

so in honor of the great city of san diego, the fun we had there and the comedy of Will Farrell, here is one of the best sequences from Anchorman... enjoy!

Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
Veronica Corningstone: No, there's no way that's correct.
Ron Burgundy: I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
Veronica Corningstone: Doesn't it mean Saint Diego?
Ron Burgundy: No. No.
Veronica Corningstone: No, that's - that's what it means. Really.
Ron Burgundy: Agree to disagree.
