Friday ~ Ok so we did not leave as early as we had intended but it all worked out! We headed to San Diego around 11 am and cruised to the Coastal highway. We ate a nice lunch of buns and juices boxes as we say the sights. Not long after finishing her lunch, Becca went to sleep for the entire trip! We were able to peak at the ocean between houses and along short stretches of public land. It is so beautiful!

Upon arriving in San Diego, we found our hotel and checked in. OMG! It is so swank! Totally not the local Super 8! It is fun to be all spoiled for the weekend (especially since J & I could never afford a weekend trip like this without my Dad’s help! Thanks Dad!)

We decided to take a dip in the pool, before dinner. It was an outdoor pool, however well heated so cool for Becca. At first she reacted like she did last time, all freaked out. Then my Dad swam over and took her for a swim and she loved the rest of the time in the pool!! It was so cool!

Once inside, I took a bath in our UBER deep tub….OMFG! It was awesome! Becca was a little freaked about the depth of the pool and refused to join me! Even my Dad took a bath in his tub!! We order room service (something I have never done). It was so cool they rolled it in on a table…JUST LIKE THE MOVIES!!! California is so cool! Anyway, we all pigged out on great food, then decided to go out for a walk. After bundling Becca up so she would not catch a chill in the cool ocean air we were off!

Everyone that spotted us looked at us a little strangely, but not matter it was an amazing walk. We walked along the marina then along the beach….Ahhh the beach at night. Becca was in awe of the waves coming crashing onto the sand….It was amazing. Creepy too though…While we were standing on the beach all the lights went out! It was freaky. So we headed back to the hotel.

OMG so ever the moment you wish you were video taping your child!!! We were on the balcony looking out on the bay when Becca decides she is heading back inside and hit the patio door full throttle not realizing it was CLOSED!!! My Dad & I are cruel and could not stop giggling, she did not cry but looked rather stunned!! It was so funny! Later she always slowed down at the door and checked with her hands!!! Too cute! Later that evening J went to go talk to my Dad on the patio and seriously SLAMED into the patio door too!! Like Father like Daughter! HAHAHA!!! Talk about uber clean windows!

When it was bath time, Becca was still unnerved about the depth of the tub but made it through the basic washing. She seems to have settled down ok for the night!

The frikin fancy hotel is charging a daily fee for internet access….grrr sure there are robes in the room but what about bloggers?!?!?! So if I find a hotspot or a Starbucks this will find you guys on Saturday. If not Monday when we get back! Miss you!!!

Saturday ~ We went to Seaworld. It was a wonderful day, we wandered, took in a few shows (like you can’t see Shamu when you are there?!?!). Becca totally loved the fish, however really enjoyed the penguins. She was in awe to see so many. It was so cool! Her Grandpa even bought her a stuffed penguin to take home, which pleased Becca so much! Becca fell asleep at the whale show in J’s arms, and was easily tranfered to the stroller and slept awesome! It was a relief that she slept so well! Once again we enjoyed room service for dinner…Mmmmm! Becca was still a little nervous about the hotel tub but got used to it the second time around and enjoyed it the next two nights!

Sunday ~ We headed over to the U.S.S. Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum, and toured the ship and let Becca run, run, run! She loved the airplanes on the flight deck and enjoyed going into the helicopters. Once we finished the tour, we headed over to the Seaport Village to sight see and browse. We had lunch there and then intended to drive over to Point Loma’s Cabrillo Monument, however Becca fell asleep in the car and we wanted to let her sleep. Instead we drove around that area and toured the beaches and such. I was a little disappointed that we did not see Point Loma’s Cabrillo Monument but it all worked out. We headed back to the area of our hotel and stopped at the State Beach across the way. Becca was awake by this time and we all went walking on the beach! OMG!!!! It was so awesome to watch Becca explore the beach and ocean for the first time! She was pretty freaked out at first and the water was freezing!!!! We had such a wonderful time at the beach!!

Then we went back to the hotel and changed into our bathing suits and went swimming again! It was wonderful to swim with Becca and watch her enjoyment! Once back in the room, we order room service again!!! Totally spoiled this weekend! We vegged out and visited the rest of the evening.

Monday ~ Origanaly we intended on heading straight back to Riverside, instead we headed out to the San Diego Wild Animal Park! It was a great day, unfortunately Becca did not nap except for 15 minutes in the car before we hit the park! The animals were awesome to see and there was a lot of walking. All of us are exhausted!!!! Becca really liked all the birds and liked the ducks a lot!! (sure all the freeloaders, Becca loves). After a long day at the zoo, we finally fought rush hour traffic and made it HOME! It is so nice to be home, and J totally was in gear and got most of our stuff organized and put away. It was the perfect mini-vacation!! Relaxing, exciting, thrilling, calming and wonderful. Many thanks to my Dad for making it a great weekend for everyone!!!

Ok seriously, not having internet is relaxing and annoying at the same time. We could have paid for it in our room, but by priniciple I refused. So I had a lot of time to think and ponder the lessons of life….hehe!

Missed my blogger firends and in the next couple days I hope to catch up with everyone!!!
