San Diego Spring Break!!

Weekdays:

• Monday - Happy Birthday to Clint!!!   It was a rainy day all day which is strange for San Diego.  We braved it out to the San Diego zoo which was a fun visit even with the on and off rain.  We got some ponchos and made the best of it.  We only saw one of the Pandas but it was a nice zoo and a fun visit.  Maci and Connor both got a souvenir top that says "save the chubby unicorns" with a pic of a rhino HAHA.  We thought this was so funny.  We got home from the zoo, dried off, rested and then it was time to head downtown for the Padres game.  Unfortunately still a bit wet and cold BUT this game was awesome.  The fan base LOVES their baseball - they were sold out on a Monday night and went 5-0 to start the season for the first time in franchise history - so cool to be there!  Connor was really into the game and Maci enjoyed the ice cream.  We got home after the game and hit the hay with Law and Order - love being able to binge our shows still on vaca.

Padres Baseball Fun!

Bobble Head Night!

• Tuesday - We found a Denny's because the kids wanted that for breakfast - it was advertised at the game a lot the night before.  We came back and I took a late morning nap - I was really tired for some reason.  Once up, we hit the beach for a promised beach day - even though it was high 50s/low 60s and windy.  I chilled in the sun with an iPad and sweatshirt while those crazy kids ran through the waves.  We all got cleaned up and headed back down town but this time for a fancy dinner at Nobu.  Maci was so excited for the sushi.  Connor played along b/c we told him he could get in and out burger afterward.  

Beach Fun!

Nobu Fancy Dinner

• Wednesday - Last full day!  We started with breakfast and then a little shopping in LaJolla.  Clint found a nice item at both Vouri and Lululemon.  Maci got a new pair of shorts at Lululemon.  Maci and I then went big at Aviator Nation with each of us getting a hoodie and Maci also getting a new tshirt.  After shopping, we were off to Belmont Park - such a cute old fashioned amusement park in San Diego right on Mission Beach.  The kids had a blast running around the rides and Clint and I enjoyed the sunshine and watching.  We had lunch right on the beach strip then finished up some final rides before heading back to our house b/c the kids wanted more beach time.  They really do love the ocean!  I love watching them enjoy it.  We then tried Surf Taco, a recommendation from a co-worker of mine who lives out that way.  Super yummy and a great way to end the main part of the trip.

Belmont Park Fun!

Back to the Beach

• Thursday - Up and at 'em - we need to be packed up and out by 10a.  We got out at 10a on the dot!  We then went down by the beach to see the LaJolla seals - they did not disappoint, even if the smell did!  We also had a nice brunch with a view.  We then headed to Candy and Greg's to see their house from about 12-2p.  We had a nice light lunch with them and then took a walking tour of their neighborhood.  Before we knew it, it was 2p and time to head to the airport.  We breezed through bag drop and security here and right into the Delta Sky Lounge.  This was our kids first time and they LOVED the "free food" and drinks. Maci was so curious why she has never gotten to do this before.  The played on devices, I cleaned email and then it was time to board.  We had a SUPER smooth flight home - LOVED IT!  We landed and got home around 1230a - ouch that was late but what a fun trip and thankfully no school or work the next day!

Friday:

• We all slept in!  Then Clint and I kicked off the day with a walk.
• I did a little bit of work to have things in order for Monday.
• I started to unpack but felt a head cold coming on - darn travel.  So I took a late afternoon nap.
• Thankfully we had no plans so I could be a total lazy bum all afternoon.

Saturday:

• Clint had a massage to start the day.
• I had zero plans but we took another walk and I took naps on and off all day - this head cold is kicking my butt.
• I got some energy around 5p and ran to the local boutique to get a baby gift for our neighbors who just had their first - Maci was so excited to help me pick it out and run it up to the door.
• In between bursts of productivity, I would lay back down.  I hate colds!
• We all huddled in the living room and watched the final 4 in the evening - still cant believe the end to the Duke/Houston game.

Sunday:

• Pushing myself to be productive today!  I slept in to try and kick this cold.  I took a long hot shower to try and steam it all out.  Thankfully today is in the 50s so we took a nice warm walk too.  I am feeling a bit better but trying to not over push it as I have a busy week.  Hopefully I wake up tomorrow feeling top notch.
• Maci invited her friend Sloan over from school.  They have been on the neighbors trampoline most of the day.
• Connor has some 3v3 basketball this evening which we are all looking forward to.

Getting ready to get back into routine starting tomorrow, wish us all luck!

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C
