San Diego July 14th and 15th



On Monday we took a day of rest, well rest from major touristy activities. Minus the 3 mile walk from the house in La Jolla to Pacific Beach and back. My belly was pretty much cramping by the time we got back, but it felt good to get some real exercise, it had been a while. After getting the kids down for a nap, Mom and I went to Pangea Outpost, my favorite eclectic store in San Diego. I was brave and bought a pair of post baby capri pants, let's hope I can squeeze myself into them.

Later that evening, Ginger, Thor, and Britta joined us for dinner, though Ginger brought most of the food with her. Thanks Ginger, we were stocked for the rest of the week.

Tuesday we got up and out the door by 8:30 am to make it to Sea World as they opened. Sea World was a huge hit with the kids and Grandma. Grandma didn't want to leave the Shamu show. The highlight for Shane was meeting Elmo and Zoe. Sesame Street sponsored the remodeled kids area, so they have a mini show and pictures with Elmo. Myann was excited in theory, but once Elmo was within reach she freaked and clung to daddy for dear life. Shane totally cheesed it up and loved hanging out with them. We somehow managed to stay until 3pm, Myann took a 15 minute nap, without the kids having meltdowns. They were tired, but in such good spirits. We headed back home and put them to sleep, they didn't get up until later that evening.



Trying to get a picture of Grandma with the kids, but they weren't cooperating.



This is as close as Myann would get to Elmo. Elmo is her favorite right now, but like the Easter Bunny, she wanted to keep her distance.



Shane was eating it up meeting Elmo and Zoe. He didn't want to leave.



Do they look like 2 kids ready for a nap? Still a little wound up after Sea World.

Once they were up, we took a trip down to a small beach in La Jolla off Marine street. Awesome white sand and beautiful sunset. Plus my future house is located there. We are letting other people live there for now, but give us a few years and we will be there to reclaim it.
