Another weekend of chillaxing ahead. We’re still getting used to having every weekend off. Yesterday afternoon I had the chance to take Kristen out for a lunch date. We tried out a a Vietnamese place in City Heights called, Pho King. (Yes, it is fun to say!) It was Kristen’s first Pho and I think she liked it. Than later, we took the kids out for fondue. We’ve got a pretty strong Friday night family date night thing going.

Today is a beach day. While it won’t hit 80 like it did yesterday, it will get into the 70s. First I’m going to take Stoney to dog beach so he can run and play with other dogs. Then later we’ll load the bikes up into the truck and ride around Pacific Beach.

Today is a travel day. So you know I’m listening to music. That is, I’m listening to music if my fellow passengers don’t try to talk to me for 4 hours. That happened on Thursday morning, it was fine but I really wanted to put on my headphones and sleep!

I get to Detroit about 8:30 PM and will go to stay with Kristen’s parents. From there it’s all about getting the car packed up for the drive.

So, here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to this morning as I pack up the hotel room. As always, these are completely random and my ratings are included.
