San Diego Fun

This past week Matt had a conference in San Diego, California.  Since Matt already had a hotel and frequent flyer miles, we decided to make it a family trip!  San Diego was great.  The weather was nice, warm during the day and cooler in the evenings…something different from the Houston weather we are use to.  The kids and I were really only in San Diego for 2 full days.  We arrived to the hotel around 5pm Monday night and then checked out of the hotel on Thursday at noon.  But, during the time that we were there the kids and I had a jam packed schedule!

 

MONDAY:  Fly in to San Diego, rent a car, drive to have dinner with cousins

 

Dinner with Sam & Melinda (Sam is Matt’s first cousin)

 

TUESDAY: Mormon Battalion Museum, San Diego Temple, LegoLand, Padres Game

 

We traveled back to 1847 to learn about the Mormon Battalion and what they did for San Diego

Across from the Mormon Battalion there are these old homes that have been restored that the kids liked walking around to look at.

San Diego Temple is now where Kalani wants to get married

Padres vs. Pirates at Petco Park. One of the CR vendors was hosting.

 

WEDNESDAY: San Diego Zoo, swimming, walking around San Diego

 

San Diego Zoo is HUGE and great for all ages

Kids had fun swimming in the hotel pool…but it was a bit too cold for Tia. We are use to the 80* swimming pool water, and this water wasn’t that warm.

Walking around San Diego in the evenings. As we are passing some restaurants a few of the hostesses outside smile and wave to Mason commenting how cute he is as we pass by. He then calls out “Mom! All the big girls love me! They say hi to me! .. And I say hi to them!”

 

THURSDAY:  Playing at a nearby park and flying back to Texas

 

Having tired kids is a good indicator of how much we crammed in a few days.

 

We had a great time being together as a family.   Fun memories were made and you can see more photos of our vacation here:  San Diego Vacation
