San Diego, CA

The first week of November, we packed up our car and headed to San Diego! Kris and Annie had never been there, and I haven't been there for years, so we thought it would be a fun little family vacation. We packed Grandpa in the car, too, to help entertain Annie.



We got to San Diego on Monday afternoon, after stopping in Yuma to see Aunt Mervie. After we got settled, Kris drove us down to Mission Beach...the scenic route! It was too cold to go very far in, but I took Annie and we splashed (okay, I splashed) for a little bit. It was great to feel the sand in my toes...I miss our annual family vacation to San Diego!


Tuesday we spent the day in Sea World. Annie's favorites were the penguins, the beluga whale, and the Sea Lion Show. She clapped right along with everybody (I think she thought they were clapping with her, though!) and smiled and laughed at the silly sea lions. She was a real trooper, getting in and out of her stroller all day. Kris and I rode Shipwreck Rapids twice...we were soaked! Thankfully we brought jackets and it was a sunny day. He also convinced me to go on Journey to Atlantis...which I did not love!


On Wednesday we drove to La Jolla to see the temple, and then to Coronado Island. Kris was dying to see the bridge! We spent most of the afternoon at Seaport Village. We didn't buy much, but it sure was fun to walk around and see all the people.

By Wednesday night, Annie and Grandpa were bushed! This is my favorite picture!

We came home on Thursday. Kris has been talking about all the vacations he wants to take, going back to SD included! We just got involved in this timeshare deal, so hopefully that makes it a little more convenient for us to head out for some more road trips! We had so much fun!
