Beach Day

 The gang all slowly woke to another beautiful day ahead with no clouds in the skies and forecasted high 70's.  After loading up the van we made our way to the San Diego Zoo, which started in 1916 to get Jeff's glasses.  Thank goodness they were found and Janie grabbed in no time at the customer service desk.

Then off to the Mission Park Beach area just north of San Diego.  Quick tour of the boardwalk and a few shop stops, we decided to get ready for the beach.  Changing the car went smoothly and then off to the beach.  The kids and John did the waves and sea shell hunting.  Wyatt's man chaffee from being in a wet suit the past several nights took its toll.

Jeff and Janie took a nice walk on the beach and then we packed up to the car after foot washing.  Change of the grands behind towels found sand in places not necessarily all good.  From there we headed to Solana Beach  for a late lunch and found the Fish House.

Then up to the Marisa Resort for quick naps and trip to the big pool for Grandpa, Grandma, John and Morgan.  We met a boy named Morgan who was from Morgan Hill, CA.

Back to the room for everyone to take showers and eat up hot sandwiches, hot dogs and salad.  SWA checkin and bed time for all as tomorrow is our last day.

First Full Day

Grands woke  up at 4:30 a.m., but did go back to bed for awhile. Wyatt wanted to go to the gym with Grandpa so John also decided to go so they left for the gym a little later and they all had a great workout. Sara made a great breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, bananas and cereal after they returned. As we left for the Scripps Aquarium around 10:00 there was a A little rain but it stopped before we arrived.  The aquarium is located in the University of California, San Diego in the La Jolla area. We spent a few hours looking at a lot of beautiful fish.  The view on the back side of the aquarium had a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean where we took a family picture and spent a little time.  They also had a play area that the kiddos enjoyed. We were ready for a late lunch so with a grandpa detour to Torrey Pines for a photo we drove south looking for a lunch place.  Grandpa took us ...

Travel Day to San Diego - Carlsbad

Image
We picked up John, Sara, Wyatt and Morgan at 5:30 am.  They were all ready to go, loaded up the truck and off to MCI to catch our 7:40 am flight on SW for a direct flight to San Diego. We landed 9:15 am and off to the rental car pickup for our white minivan. This puts grandpa back in his daddy days of driving a mini-van and it works out great for plenty of seating and cargo area for suitcases and backpacks. First thing was to find a good place for lunch and we definitely found one in the Gas Lamp District.  The Rockin Baja Lobster with an open window seat.  Luke was our server and did a great job with chips, in house salsa and good food.  Wyatt's chocolate milk was awesome and all the food tasty and on time. Before lunch we drove around San Diego a bit and spotted the USS Midway on the agenda for a tour later in the week.  Huge yachts and sailboats, Pacific ocean view first time for Wya...
