San Diego

Last week we returned back from our trip to glorious, wonderful, ever sunny San Diego! Just the kids and I went since Ben was in the middle of a vascular rotation with school. The traveling went much better than I expected and we made it there and home with pretty much no complications (which seems like a big deal to me with two kids). We had such a blast! The weather was DIVINE, the food HEAVENLY, and seeing my family was THE BEST! Natali loved all the attention and Isaac found a new love...dogs! All my brothers have dogs, but he LOVED Brandon's dog Mutly. We ate In-N-Out multiple times, and consumed as much Mexican food possible. I even hit up and old high school fav. The Yogurt Mill! Let's just say that it's a good thing I'm pregnant to blame all the food on! We went to both the Zoo and the Wild Animal Park, and spent part of the day down at Mission Beach. The kids loved the sand. Isaac was covered head to toe, and I am sure ate several hands full. Natali wanted to play in the water and evetnually got knocked over a couple of times by the incoming tide. It was CLASSIC! Thanks everyone for a GREAT trip. We felt very SPOILED! Maybe next time Ben can come too!

Isaac really did LOVE the dog!

After 19 degree weather here, let's just say I am ready to go back! Thanks Mom & Dad for spoiling us!

First off, congrats on the new baby coming! Some how I missed your blog for a few weeks and never noticed your post about it. Second, I am very mad at you... you were 1 1/2 hours from me and I didn't even know it. I would totally have come down to visit, I haven't seen you in ages, don't do that again!
Third, glad you loved the twilight movie, I've been worried too, hope it doesn't disappoint me.

Glad you got to have such a fun vacation in San Diego!! How fun to go see your parents and be spoiled in such nice weather!! And I would be REALLY jealous if I hadn't just had In-N-Out in Cali earlier this month!! It's so nice to be pregnant and have more liberty with the food we love!! I will try calling this week so we can catch up!!

In-N-Out is over-rated!

We are certainly not used to the midwestern winters! It is cold here in Dayton! We have been spoiled in Hotlanta for the last three years...

I had a really tough day yesterday with the loss to Utah. Argh! It is not so much that BYU messed up their good season, it is that Utah gets be be the BCS busters a second time and we are still at zero...

I think I would sell a kidney for some fresh In-N-Out...

Okay, I'm totally jelous. I miss warm weather and I haven't had In-n-Out in like 5 years... sad. It looked like a FABULOUS trip!

What a fun trip! I am so jealous of the nice weather and the beach- it has been freezing here! I'm glad you had a nice trip and that your kids were so good for you.

I'm so glad you got away. Some of these rotations are crappy (we just got done with surgery).
And it's only been like, what, 4 months (or has it been longer) since we've been gone and Isaac looks so big. And Natali, Hello cutie! SHe has so much hair.

Julianne said...

No no no no no no no no NOOOO!!! Did your trip really come and go and I never saw you??!!!??? I'm SO sad. I'm sure you were crazy busy, but MAN! It kills me to know that we were that close, yet THAT far. We HAVE to plan better next time! Glad you had fun, but I'm having a VERY hard time being GLAD right now.
