Last sunday, some of our church members had a short trip to Julian after service. Paster couple, Minyoung and I got together on it. The way to Julian is a little tough. We passed Mountain Laguna and Lake Cuyamaca where are another beauties located in the middle of the way to Julian. We've climb up to the top of the Mountain and saw the great view of Anza Borrego desert. It was cloudy on that afternoon and we couldn't see the Salton Sea from there. Julian is an old and cute town located in the middle of mountain area. The most famous thing of it is apple pie because the area is known for finest apples in the Land. As you guess, we didn't miss it! On the way back, the last attraction chased us and we had no choice. The beautiful lake's named "Cuyamaca", which sounds like an american indian's tribe. The silent lake allowed couple of fishermen and wild ducks. We've taken pictures on the little pier.

I went to the Balboa Park to enjoy the mood of Saint Patricks day although I'm not related with any Irish. :) Besides funny car parades and nice weather, we, our young church group members were happy to have Kimbap (seaweed roll) on the clean park. Here, flowers are blossom, too.

Last weekend, Xin fianlly got married with Jessica. We've been waiting for their wedding within 2 years and this was the happiest day of them and us. I helped the couple to take outdoor pictures with wedding suites. Here're some of them. The wedding ceremony was like a combination of wedding ceremony and reception. Xin says that there will be big wedding ceremony in China, later. There're friends, coworkers, church members and family members of this happy couple attended this wedding to celebrate them. I found sean in that wedding. I sang the wedding song for him and you can call me an official wedding singer of San Diego, now. ^^ Congratulation Xin and Jessica! Be happy and may have lots of babies!

Since I started attending in San Diego States, there's no chance to get in the ball park, aka, Tony Gwynn stadium which is named after the legendary player and current head coach of Aztec baseball team before. Last weekend, Jaeman suggested me to take a look at its inside while we're walking after dinner. There's also brand-new swimming pool but I couldn't take a picture of it since we're the only non-swim-suite guys of there. ^^

It's back to spring time. I had a little chance to take flowers while I was waiting for Xin to take his wedding picture on La Jolla. These lovely small and weak flowers are beautiful. At the last moment of shooting, a bee flew into my scene and captured with flower accidentally in the picture.

Finally, Greg passed the last masters examination to finish the program. Surely, we couldn't miss the nice chance to drink! Here's Karl Strauss brewery restaurant, right next to my work. This restaurant is located inside a nice japanese garden with beautiful pond. It's also famous with the best local beer of San Diego. It's really long time to see these guys - Greg & Joey.

We haven't met together couple of weeks, recently and decided to resume our meeting today. I met Xin's and Gene's couples at the famous chinese restaurant Shanghai City on Convoy street. Xin's ordering menu's gorgeous and we were happy with that. Mostly, Dimsum style food was set up since Xin knows how to order for us. I missed Eunha since she must like this experience of chinese but we should have another chance later. Dr Chai is a recent married guy whose marriage ceremony was celebrated by my wedding song. ^^ He called me when I was still in a laundry store and we've met at a coffee shop of the Universtity town square on La Jolla.
