Travel to San Diego

We had a chance to see Kevin at his new townhouse, then to meet with his roommates. (forgot to take pictures with them!)

It was a quick and short visit at this time before Kevin’s deployment. Wishing him all the best and hoping for a successful journey!

Here are some pictures we took during our visit:

 

Kevin’s Visit 01/26/2024 – 02/08/2024

Kevin made a whopping 2,900 miles travel from Goose Creek, South Carolina to Boulder City, Nevada between 01/23/2024 – 01/26/2024.

He started his journey after the moving track finished loading up his items around 4pm, drove through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, then to Nevada. He encountered some severe storm in Mississippi and snow in New Mexico – yet he safely made to our house. You can guess how much I was worried!

His motorcycle was delivered a day after he arrived here, so he was able to enjoy two days of free riding through Lake Mead – to Overton and Valley of Fire.

We certainly enjoyed his visit.

He made another long drive to San Diego on 02/08/2024 to his new town home, shared with his two roommates (Heesh and Kirkpatrick – he always calls them in last names – military way).

His real work in Navy starts on 02/15/2024.

Kiyoshi’s Katsu

We finally made it to Kiyoshi’s Katsu House in Anthem.  It is very similar to Ton Ton which we have been a few times before.  The pork is super thick and tender so if you are craving Katsu, this is the place to go.  This location has a great atmosphere and worth the drive.

Katsu Takoyaki: Panko crusted takoyaki balls. I like the crunch
Katsu Donburi: Pork, and egg over rice
Had to try the Katsu hamburger. Cheese stuffed burger coated in panko and deep fried. I have seen something similar up in Duluth MN (Pickwick Bar).
Served on a tier like English Tea time in Vancouver. Fancy.
Here is the classic Pork Katsu. Perfectly cooked.
