San Diego- The Final Chapter

The next couple of days in San Diego were less exhausting!  We slept in on Sunday and had breakfast in the car on our way to La Jolla.  The Bucks met us there and once again, we were all stunned with the beauty surrounding us.  The beach was totally different from the one in Del Mar.  The most noticeable difference was the seals!!  They were ALL over the beach.  At first we thought they were being protected by the law, but later Matt told us the animal activists had put up signs warning people not to bother the seals.  We wouldn't have bothered them, but we would have liked to get a little closer!!

Check out the seals in the background!!  They were all over the beach!

The seals are behind us... all sizes!

crazy animals!

The girls spent a lot of time in the strollers!

Sweet girls!

After that beach, we went to a different beach that was more kid friendly.  The kids all had a blast, but quickly turned purple (literally)!!!  Little Miss Ellie was so cold!  I think the boys were having too much fun to notice it, but we pulled the plug on the outing when we started getting concerned that they would be hospitalized if they weren't warmed up and dried off quickly.

Don't let this picture fool you... there was little (if any) hesitation when it came to running in the water!

Do they not have a temperature gauge?  The water was freezing!

...there went the shirt!

Matt found a sand dollar. (Now it's in our garage... smells great!)

We took the kids back to the hotel for naps and met back up with the Bucks at the Corvette Diner.  It was great.  We highly recommend that place to anyone visiting San Diego.  The kids were all extremely entertained.  There was a lot of singing, dancing, clapping, stomping, and the wait staff was exceptional.

We were sad to leave the Corvette Diner because that was our last outing in San Diego.
The next morning we woke up and headed to the airport.  This time the plane ride home was uneventful and boring.  (Just the way we like it!!!)  Cayden actually stayed in our aisle the whole time, and we rarely heard much out of him.  Again- just the way we like it.  :)

We spent the rest of our day sleeping!!  The kids slept until almost 6:30 that evening!!  We were shocked, but thankful! 

A BIG Thank You to the Bucks because without their buddy passes, we wouldn't have gone to San Diego.  We will treasure the memories of this trip forever!
