San Diego





How crazy are we? We finally decided to do a little more California exploring this weekend and ended up in San Diego for the weekend. What an absolutely beautiful city. Honestly if Walter's fellowship had landed us there we may never be leaving California. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time. We took the kids to the San Diego zoo and they had a blast running all over the place and checking out the animals (monkeys being the crowd favorite). S even got the chance to feed a giraffe. Of course she would tell you the highlight of our trip was staying in the hotel, silly girl! (even the triplets seemed to really enjoy this temporary home away from home).We are trying to cram in all things California between now and July but I think for sure it will be impossible. One thing we learned on this trip is that I will be flying back to Dallas with the kids come July and not making the long drive with Walter! They were great for the 1st hour in the car (a two hour trip to San Diego), but come the second hour they were bored to death and so the whining started. Other than the car drive though it was a great time.

Where did you stay in SD? If you say the Hotel Del, I am going to be so jealous!

The SD Zoo is amazing. I love the polar bear exhibit. Mom and I are planning to stop there when we visit in April; plus all the other places I used to call "home".

I still don't know how you ever left! We fell in love with it immediately. I guess I never really thought about SD being right on the ocean. So pretty!
As for the hotel we ended up staying in Del Mar at a Homewood Suites. They were great with the kids and it was a nice "business" hotel. I think Walt and I will go back without the kids next year :)
