Beautiful San Diego (Day 1)

This is how they slept together on the plane.  Does it get more precious than this?

 When they got up, they shared the DVD player so nicely.

 Birds and Sea Lions, does it get better than this?

 Seth fell asleep at the end of the tour.  I just adore how Savannah is looking at him--with love and pride.

 Climbing at the airport.  Getting energy out before the flight.

 Made it to Sunny CA and nowI can wear short sleeves and eat outside.

 This is how you get Seth to cooperate shopping at the mall.  Let him drive.

 And take him to a toy store that lets you play on a train they have set up.

 Playing at the mall waiting for Daddy to arrive after his conference.

What an awesome idea to have this area for kids to play in the mall

Rich's Medical Fitness conference brought us to beautiful San Diego for 6 days.  No matter how many times I have been to San Diego or go to San Diego, I still find it one of the most beautiful places and am in awe of it.  I truly love it.  Everything about it is perfect.  If there is a utopia to live, it is San Diego.

Both kids did wonderfully on the trip there.  Seth did the best ever with traveling, meals, and sleeping.  Our room at the Dana Hotel was perfect.  It was a suite where the living was at the back and had a patio facing the park and that was his space.  It worked out great.  The weather was 73 degrees and bright and sunny when we landed at LAX and we rented a minivan and drove to San Diego.  We stopped at Starbucks and Mimi's Cafe on the way.

We arrived a got settled in and walked around our beautiful resort and went to Whole Foods to fill our fridge for the week.  The next day Rich went to his conference and the kids an I took the Trolley into Old Town San Diego, which is the area that reflects the Mexican culture.  Then we went to Seaport Village, walked around played in the park and boarded the Seal Tour, which is an amphibious vehicle th goes in the road and the water.  It was fun and informative and the highlight was seeing many Sea Lions up close.  It was awesome.  We came back to Seaport Village, had lunch at Busters overlooking the Harbour and Seth was sleeping for most of it.  Then we walked around and playing in the park and went to the mall.  We got lots of goodies and playing in the open play area and then met Daddy for dinner at the Panda Gourmet.  Yum!  What a great day!

Sorry the pictures are out of order, but Blogger makes it hard to load pictures.  I will post Sea World, DelMar, La Jolla, and Legoland in their own posts coming up.  Stay tuned.
