We had so much fun in San Diego... it really was a perfect vacation! The weather was awesome, the airports weren't too crowded and our rental car had a cool GPS thingy to help navigate. (However, Jared lived in San Diego for several years and he would get annoyed when I'd program in his Grandma's address... he didn't need directions from the talking box)!
Sea World: We loved Sea World! Every morning they take a group of the flamingos on a walking parade and we were in the right place at the right time. We got to stand right next to the flamingos, without a fence or anything. The kids convinced us to sit in the "SOAK ZONE" during the dolphin show... we were soaked! The rides were fun... they sure like you to be drenched while walking through Sea World. My personal favorite was the penguin habitat... they were adorable! The kids loved all of it... they whole day was their favorite!
Point Loma Lighthouse: We went to Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego and loved it. We walked about a half mile to the lighthouse. We were able to go inside and walk to the top. The stairs were very steep but it was so fascinating.
Point Loma Seafoods: Mmmmmmm... this is my very favorite place to eat in San Diego (Jared loves it too... obviously, he's the one who introduced me to it). I love it so much, in fact, that we pretty much ate there the entire time. Jackson loves sushi and got that two of the times we went there. Aspen is not a fan of seafood (AT ALL) but she loved munching on the sour dough bread and some fries. One day, I managed to get her to try a tuna sandwich. It's right on the harbor and the view is amazing.
Beach: The water was FREEZING but that didn't stop the kids from diving right in. They loved finding shells and playing int the sand.
Those are just a few of the highlights from our vacation. We had the PERFECT time. Jared's grandma lives in San Diego and it was so much fun to spend some time visiting her. The kids made themselves right at home in her house (she's probably enjoying her peace and quiet now that we're gone). Jared spent one afternoon painting her fence... she's wanted it done for awhile and he was happy to do it. The kids loved playing outside in her yard we enjoyed the beautiful California sunshine!
