All my girls and I decided to take a little trip to San Diego just to get away and spend some time together! We spent 3 days and had a really fun time together.
GETTING THERE
Thursday March 28th Tami flies in from Provo and arrives at 2:00pm. I drove from Eagar and got to Lisa's at noon. Kari arrived from Flagstaff around 1:00. We picked up Tami and headed to San Diego from the airport, about a 6 hour drive. I drove and we visited all the way there. We arrived in the dark, finally found our little place and settled in.
We had a great location, only a block from the beach, it was crammed in between lots of houses, which is just how all the houses are by the beach and a little 'dated' and small, but the price was right. it was quiet and we felt safe there.
DAY 1
It was a little cloudy and cool, but we spent our 1st day at the beach. Because it was cool, the girls were laying in the sun trying to stay warm and Lisa and Tami got really sunburned! I was cold so I was covered with the towels and didn't get burned at all.
After the beach we got cleaned up and headed to the boardwalk again to find some food. It was too cold for real ice cream!
Later that evening watching the sun go down over the ocean!
It was so beautiful!
Then we ate at a place on the beach that served sushi, that was fun.
The girls had some sort of soup appetizer.
I didn't have sushi, I had tempura, (I think)
We were sitting right where the chefs'
These guys were amazing, each plate was a work of art!
It was a FUN DAY!

We were sitting right where the chefs'
cook and one of the chef's made a special veggie sushi for Kari, without her even ordering it. He just heard her talking about being pregnant on not being able to eat raw fish!

DAY 2 Saturday March 30th
This was a busy day- we did it ALL!!
We got up and walked the beach front...
Then we drove to La Jolla and walked along that beach
to see the seals and sea lions. It took us driving around a few times, but we finally found a parking place.
Look at these beautiful flowers that grow along the beach front.
We walked to the 'Children's Pool' to see all the seals. They are so cute just laying in the sun and playing in the water, just enjoying life!
It's pupping season and this momma just pulled herself up on the rocks, turned over and her baby latched on!
Their Carna Asada tacos are famous along with the carna asada loaded fries!! It all tasted so GOOD!
Before we knew it, it was time to go out to dinner, again!
My hubby and their Daddy gave us money to go have a really nice, fancy meal somewhere! So we went to Balboa Park and ate at the Prado! Because we ate lunch so late, we weren't as hungry as we wanted to be!! We walked around beautiful Balboa park first. We were even entertained by a funny street clown/juggler.
The food was really fancy! Tami, Kari and I all shared this shrimp and filet with seasoned mashed potatoes/gravy. It was yummy!
We told them we were celebrating Tami's #30 birthday and the server brought out this flan dessert for her!
The rest of us shared this yummy and very different baked meringue that had carmeled apples inside with a some sort of cake and ice cream and a fried plantain on top.
Another great day with my girls making some fun memories!
Sunday we had one last walk on the beach, packed up and headed for home!
FUN WEEKEND!
