Last week we flew to San Diego for our fist family vacation - an actual vacation that wasn't work or flyball related! It was glorious!! We rented a condo in Mission Beach with a deck right on the beach and a bustling boardwalk in front that was fabulous for people-watching. The first thing we did when we arrived was rearrange the furniture so the loveseat looked out onto the ocean instead of at the television. Paul and I aren't addicted to TV by any means, but most nights we do have it on...we didn't turn on the TV the whole time we were there, it was FANTASTIC!!
Jack's first encounter with sand wasn't very positive and I was worried he was going to have some strange fear of sand for the rest of this life, but we tried again the next day and he loved it! Someone had told me, "kids will eat sand but they'll only do it once"...that's a lie. He ate sand the entire week.
We got to see some family while we were in San Diego too! My cousin Annie lives down there so we met her at a GREAT Mexican restaurant in Old Town where Jack showed off his "I-can-reach-anything-I'm-not-supposed-to-have-on-the-table" skills And my parents drove from Palm Springs and spent a night with us.
After watching the surfers for a few days, Paul couldn't handle it anymore and had to take a lesson. He liked it so much that he took another lesson and seriously contemplated living the surfer life :)
We also visited the aquarium, took walks on the beach, listened to Jack scream in delight at the waves and found some beautiful beaches. It was the perfect family vacation!
