our trip down south was... well... interesting. traveling with a toddler? hmmm. :) ben and i agreed that each trip will get easier. jackie has always been a creature of habit; loves his naps, has only ever slept in his crib (or a crib, for that matter). but when you vacation, the time changes alone are enough to throw a grown up out of whack. ben and i enjoyed ourselves, and i would like to think jack did too, but i know he's sooo happy to be home - back to his comforts.
we stayed in the pacific beach, mission bay/beach area. very fun, lively area, within minutes of anything really. we found playgrounds nearby with beautiful green areas to run. the beaches were pretty beat up due to the crazy weather the coast has been dealing with. we visited seaworld twice, the san diego zoo twice and spent one day out in escondido at the wild animal park, an extension of the zoo. we also drove down to san ysidro where there were outlet malls galore. this was the last exit before mexico; quite fun to see the border. the weather in san diego could have been a little warmer (for my liking) but as ben reminded me "it's not 60 degrees in ak." true, my wise husband, true.
sunset, playground and beach pics...
catching our first sunset
oh, that face!
taking notes on the surfers
playground fun!
runs everywhere
hates the gritty sand
swingers
climbing up is not so easy
if you could have heard my commentary...
"ben, hold onto him!" "ben, do you have him?!" "oh, that is not a good idea..."
beautiful beach, right in front of playground
love this shot. all those palm trees, calm water, my adorable son...
our one day at the beach.
this is my current wallpaper on the 'puter. love it.
a little out of focus, but i love jackie's open-mouth smile
ben, looking like a stud
always needing the snack cup in hand
