Trip to San Diego

Two weeks ago, we spent a long weekend in San Diego for some time to get away and see the family. It was an action-packed three days with basically no naps. On Friday we headed to Oceanside to introduce Amelia to the beach. The last time she was there was when she was 6-months old so I don't think she remembers that. Rod's parents were able to join us since they were camping in San Diego with our nephew. Amelia loved playing in the sand with Matt although she didn't really take to his love of the water. The day was a bit overcast, so just having temperatures that allowed us to play in the sand and not sweat to death was nice.


On Saturday, we spent the day at the Wild Animal Park with Grandma & Mitch. It was a beautiful day and Amelia loved seeing the animals. She had her longest nap of the weekend for about 45 minutes while we all ate lunch. She was a little disappointed that the ducks weren't hungry enough to want to eat out of her hand but loved petting the deer. We also got to see the lions up very close at the Lion Camp exhibit.

Sunday found us at the Padres game. A must for me when visiting San Diego, especially since it was Mother's Day. Amelia showed her team spirit in a new outfit from Grandpa. This is her "smiling" to show how excited she was to be at the game. Miraculously, she stayed with us in our seats for the whole game and even more miraculously, we got to see the Pads win! I was thinking about staying another few days with Amelia but decided that three days without naps and a flight alone with a two-year old while 7-months pregnant was not something I wanted to contend with so we came home with Rod on Monday. All in all, we had a great weekend with the family and a good last trip before the baby comes.
