San Diego Day 9
Today was our most kicked back day. I’m finally in complete vacation mode and unfortunately, only 1 day left now. I’d love to extend the trip 3 more days even but flights are too hard to move.
Happy Mothers Day
For Linda we splurged and went all out. No free hotel danishes for her – we went to IHOP at 9:30AM for a delicious breakfast. We then went to Starbucks and walked along Pacific Beach. Checked out the beach shops and walked along the seawall a bit and then hung out in the sand and ocean with a Shaved Ice. Watched the surfers a bit. Afterwards we went to Mission Beach and walked around there for a bit. There was a great outdoor bar called the Wavehouse. They had a live singer doing Jimmy Buffet songs and a wave machine. People could go with their wake boards and ride the waves – it was a very cool. They even allowed kids in the bar but we passed on it as the kids were getting bored. I’d have love to have gone in though and had a few drinks. We went to Belmont Park which had a midway but we didn’t go on any rides. Nothing jumped out at us except the Roller Coaster. We would have stayed longer but the sunburns on everyone was a bit much and we needed a break. We played in the pool for quite awhile and then headed out to see “Meet the Robinsons” movie in 3D. It was an OK movie. The kids seemed to like though. I expected more from the 3D effects but it was still well done. The Westfield mall by Mission Center was quite nice, 20 screens, outdoor mall and everything you want. The Fashion valley Mall by the hotel here is very similar – I was surprised to see 2 big malls within a couple of miles of each other. Afterwards we shopped at Target again for our second time this trip. I haven’t bought myself anything yet. The kids and Linda have no troubles shopping though. We still have a day left for me.
San Diego is so easy to get around – our hotel in Mission Valley is very central to highways and we can be at 2 malls, beaches, downtown all within about 5-10 minutes. I was mixed up one night though with Dave and didn’t know whether I was coming or going on the highway – my lefts and rights and east and wests were all messed up.
Carter and I went swimming again in the evening while Linda started to pack things up. Tomorrow we go to Legoland – Carter doesn’t know yet and I can’t wait to take him there. He just loves his Lego more than anything.
