In and Around San Diego

There were so many things to see and do in San Diego that it was sort of overwhelming. We had to just sort of do everything on the fly which was a little scary for this routine girl! It ended up being a perfect weekend and a great way to end our vacation.

Here's a little Shakesperean Store that we found that sold all of my favorite Canadian chocolate bars. I shared the Smarties with the kids and Jimmy and I kept sneaking away to eat the other ones...we even went as far as to eat the Coffee Crisp under the bed covers so they wouldn't see us and I wouldn't have to share!! BAD MOM!

Gaslamp District.




The Seaport Shop area behind our hotel.





A night view from our hotel room. We had a split view of the water and the city. The water was very pretty during the day but the view of the city rocked at night time.

Oceanside.

We walked along this whole bridge and this picture is taken from the pier at the end of it. We had a family run on the way back and Jagger won!

When we got back across the bridge we found some tide pools where we had fun looking for crabs.




Good to know...

For those keeping up with the progress of Jagger's shaved head....long enough for a mohawk now!!

Old Towne San Diego


Our hotel played outdoor movies by the pool at night. So, on the last night of vacation we laid out and watched Monsters Inc.

When we got up to leave we headed out and got to see part of the Rock and Roll Marathon in progress...that's inspiring to say the least!
It was a long 19 hour drive home (with 3 hours of stops included in that time) but we finally made it at 5:45 on Monday morning. It was good to be home. Nice to be back in the swing of things. This was one of our very favorite vacations. The kids just happen to be the right ages for everything and it was the perfect mix of crazy busy and super relaxing.

Can't wait to start planning our next trip...wonder where we'll be headed???
