The Fastest Trip to the EC!

So, at the last moment, D's brother called to tell us about graduation...being the good (and crazy) people we are, D and I decided to make the quick trip to EC on Thursday for his nephew's high school graduation. We left work around 3:00 and after a stop at the gas station, we headed to the EC. Our first stop was Celia's Mexican Restaurant for dinner...of course, I had to have my Special Quesadilla (raw flour tortilla filled with cheese and fried)...we have not found anywhere in San Diego who makes this.

My fried, cheesy goodness...


The, we headed to graduation at Central Union High School, which also happens to be D's alma mater. I am a sap for Pomp and Circumstance...the graduates filing into the stadium...


We didn't stay much past the reading of D's nephew's name (he was close to the beginning as a Top Twenty Student). We left with his nieces and headed to Applebee's to hold a table for the rest of the group. Around 10:15, the graduate and parents showed. Here's us with the graduate...


After dinner (again), we left the EC around midnight to head home (we both had to work on Friday). Our drive home through the eastern part of the county was filled with pitch black clear skies with an abundance of stars. It was also filled with lots of singing...REO Speedwagon's Keep on Loving You and many Fleetwood Mac songs....guided us home to bed at 2:00 a.m. While we were exhausted, it was nice to see the family for a brief moment...
