We went to San Diego and had a great trip with equal parts relaxing and doing fun stuff.
We took our time getting ready each morning (me more than Derek). Then each day we did 1 or 2 things. We spent the rest of the day walking on the beach, eating yummy food and tasting many different beers. We made it back to our VRBO early enough every night to get some real sleep- turns out we are old and exhausted by the early flight and time change.
Day 1- In n Out Burger (meh), walk on the beach, Mexican food at Old Town (blah)
Day 2- More walks on the beach, California Burritos at Lucha Libre (fries inside!), Balboa Park, Ballast Point Brewery
Day 3- La Jolla, hike at Torrey Pines, quick stop at Lost Abbey/Port Brewing before dinner and tour at Stone Brewing
Day 4- Cabrillo National Monument, Coronado Island, back to Ballast Point
My parents watched the kids while we were gone and I think it's safe to say they all had fun! They were plenty busy shuffling the kids to school, preschool, birthday parties and activities. I was worried the kids would miss us or be scared and there was none of that!
Grandpa had talked about having an activity with a rope for Buddy every day. We weren't so sure what exactly he had in mind, so it was fun to get picture texts each day. I am sure they got some silly looks from the neighbors, but I also know they made some great memories!
Grandma and Grandpa had nothing but good things to say about the kids behavior when we got home. They had lots of cute stories to tell about the kids. And the kids said they had a good week with Grandma and Grandpa too.
It was a great week for Derek and I to reconnect and celebrate 10 years. I think it was also a great week for the kids to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa and create a special bond with them. We are all so lucky!
