Sunny San Diego

This past weekend Blake and I were able to take advantage of his frequent flyer miles, frequent rental car points, etc etc and take a pretty darn cheap vacation to San Diego...without kids!! We haven't had a weekend away in about three years, since I was pregnant with Maycee- this weekend was long overdue! My wonderful mother agreed to stay with the kids over the weekend while we went and stayed for 3 nights in California...

Our main reason for picking San Diego is that there was a Dave Matthews Band concert there- and he is by far my most favorite person to watch perform..So we planned our trip around this concert (which was AMAZING!!!)


We spent the first morning in La Jolla, which was beautiful and we attempted to go snorkeling. This cove is supposed to be one of the best for snorkeling, but the day we went, the tide was super high and the water was merkey..Most everyone was coming out of the water disapoinnted in not being able to see anything. But it was still fun to swim in the ocean and lay on the beach. The weather was perfect...
Before the concert we went to Coronado Island to have dinner...another amazing place...


We were also able to go to a Rockies vs. Padres game, which was probably the highlight of the trip for Blake. We sat right on first base in the front row, so he was very excited to be that close to the players. I have to admit, it did make the game much more enjoyable to be able to see everything up close and personal....Plus the garlic fries and diet coke were AWESOME and we got to watch a drunk lady get escorted out my the police (oh and watched a grown man steal a foul ball from a little kid) There was all sorts of drama!!

The last night we were there we had dinner in Pacific Beach, walked (actually Blake ran a lot) down the beach in the dark, and then got up at 4 am to catch our flight home. It went by too fast...

I have to say that although I missed my kiddos, it was sooooo much fun to hang out with Blake for 72 hours...it was hard to come home and go back to "real" life... Although real life is pretty darn good...

Can't wait until our next weekend away!!!!!

p.s. Grandma did awesome with the kids...I don't think they even missed us.. Grandma is too much fun!!
