I'll have 20 fish tacos and a side of Mexican food.
Best friends are not easy to come by. They take a great deal of work,understanding and luck. I will never know why I have been so blessed to have more than one but I would have never made it this far without each of them.
Because it was a day that ended in "Y" Taylor decided that we had not spent much time together just the two of us since he moved to DC a year and a half ago, so he cashed in some points and flew me out to San Diego to meet him for some fun in the sun. SD is a very laid back town with things to do but never things you HAVE to do. After working like a mad man the last few months I relished the idea of a relaxing trip.
San Diego is special because that was our first trip together. It was during that trip that we discovered that we travel well together, especially driving from San Diego to Phoenix via the desert. The return trip was well over due and we did all the fun things like Hamburger Mary's, the cliffs in La Jolla and hanging out at the boarder of Mexico, where I bought a pair of orange pants for $4.97 ! (I am so ready for football now!)
Taylor decided to take two days of the trip to see Palm Springs. He also surprised me with a 1 hour spa trip. Palm Springs was really a one of a kind place and I was really taken back by how drastically the landscape and temperature shifts there.
The biggest bonding element between Taylor and I is our undying love for all foods of the Mexican persuasion. I say that because "we" know the difference between Chipotle and Baja Fresh, between Texas and California and why Moe's don't know crap about fish tacos. Our love is so great that we almost ate it every meal on the trip and I still came home and had some Taco Bell because it is all different.
Now on my first trip to San Diego I discovered the fish taco because SD is the birthplace of it. I was hooked!!! Since then I have found good fish tacos, no actually great fish tacos in Atlanta but you always remember your first and when it comes to first love and fish tacos only one word is spoken. Rubio's. If you have never had a spicy fish taco from there then I suggest you fly out to California this very second and eat two. I was actually sad to leave knowing I could not have them at home but Taylor reminded me that I could have more when I am in San Francisco with Jennifer in August.
Taylor has been my angel on several occasions and as always he came in a rescued me at the right moment. This was a awesome trip, filled with lazy days, beaches, great conversation and lots of food.
Thanks Taylor, I love ya.

I had a wonderful time, too. In fact, I almost felt moved to the point that I needed to sing "Please Don't Go Girl" to you on the rental car shuttle back to the airport.
