Touched Down in San Diego Town

Back to reality after a 5 day stay in the always pleasant San Diego. Today was full of unpacking, lots of laundry, and soon to be a yummy homemade chicken noodle soup. 

We had a great time celebrating US (5 years of marriage) over the last few days, but all parents know that once your little ones come along it's really all about them. We took far too many photos on this trip, so we've got a long post ahead of us here. 

Thanks to my cousins Katie and Kevin for allowing us to crash in their home in Ocean Beach while they are away in Germany, celebrating Oktoberfest for their honeymoon. We were so grateful to have a kitchen and separate room for little dude to sleep in. He really learned how to cry his eyes out the last two days of this trip (and so did we, geez) since he started sprouting little tooth nubs, which arrived with a fever and a rash. He was also a fan of protesting food. Oh boy, it was a joy to behold. Thankfully, Lee is pretty much back to normal now that we're home......... FOR NOW!!!!!

Our trip, more or less, went as follows:

Thursday: Flew into SD, went to Ballast Point Brewery & Little Italy, Waterfront Park and the harbor boardwalk area; OB Noodle House with the Magennis crew and yours truly turned 'grump of the year' by 9pm.

Friday - Victory Station to check out the Women's History Museum, Stone Brewery and the architecture. Wow!  Coronado Island for ice cream and to see the famous hotel, then another stop at the fountain in Waterfront Park; Hodad's for dinner.

Saturday - Breakfast at the Old Townhouse Restaurant in OB, then headed to the Poway Historic Fair for the afternoon; Rumble in Ramona 5, where Lee got "blessed" by some skater dudes. Sunset at Sunset Cliffs, and dinner at Pizza Port. 

Sunday - We did absolutely nothing except lay around the house all day while Lee drove us insane. Went for a walk to the beach, and ate Chinese takeout for dinner.

Monday - Lots of rain (it ruled!!!). Breakfast at Old Townhouse again (sooooo good! A lot like Country Way) followed by a trip to the Cabrillo National Monument. Beers at Pizza Port. Bye Bye SD - we flew home around 8pm. 

Now, on to the photos: 

(oh my goodness, there are way too many more photos on my phone. I'm too lazy to repost, so IG will have to do)
