San Diego Trip

Over Labor Day Weekend, we took a last minute trip to San Diego! We had no agenda, just to get away from the house and explore! I must say, I love San Diego! It's almost like a small town - at least compared to LA. We will definitely be making another trip soon.

We stayed at an Embassy Suites, which is the way to go with a little one. All rooms have a living room separate from the bedroom - translation, we can put Carson to bed and then stay up, watch tv, hang out! Carson LOVED the elevator - to the point that if we walked by it and didn't get on it, he would have a complete meltdown! The hotel also had a free breakfast. Only one word can describe the scene....chaos! Kids running everywhere, spilling everything, disrespectful parents, sticky floors. My friend Kathy would have died! HA! (don't worry Kathy, this scene almost put me over the edge too!) But, it is perfect when traveling with kids.

Anyways, now onto the fun stuff! We decided to check out SeaWorld. I've never been and was really excited to go! We watched the Shamu show - it was awesome! Even Carson watched the entire show. If anything can hold Carson's attention longer than 5 seconds, it must be intriguing!


Here's Shamu getting a little fishy snack before his big show!


Big flip in the air!

 This was funny (especially since we weren't sitting in the "splash zone"). The whales would swim around the edges and splash the crowd w/ their tails - it was unreal! People left there soaked!


One last trick!


Greg watched part of the Sea Lions show (Carson was napping in the stroller). Here's a great pic he took!


After all of the stroller time, Carson needed to run around and burn some energy. Here he is playing in a grassy area. Mommy was in line to get some ice cream. What?? Carson told me he wanted some! ;)


We also took a trip to Children's Beach in the La Jolla area. We read online that the seals swim in this area and will lay on the beach from time to time. It was a very pretty area with caves and big rocks. The water crashing on the rocks was great! Here are a few pics.



I thought this tree was very interesting...almost like snakes coming out of it. Just had to take a pic.


San Diego = top of my list!
