This morning we jumped on a plane with friends and headed to San Diego for the week sans kids. We have been planning a trip like this for years with these long time friends, and it was fun to finally make something happen! For the last six months we've been getting together for date nights and making plans. The Millers had been before, and knew all of the fun places to go and the passes to give us the best discounts. We scheduled activities for each day we would be there together.
We arrived at the airport bright and early and watched the sun rise while we waited for our flight.
We were greeted with the perfect weather when we arrived! We caught a quick bus ride to the car rental place and then made our way to our hotel and explored the neighborhood.
Our room had a tiny little balcony overlooking the marina. It was so fun to see all of the different boats!
In the late afternoon we took a drive to the San Diego temple. We had hoped to be able to attend this temple while we were visiting, but alas it was closed for extensive construction and renovations. The entire thing was covered in scaffolding. It was still beautiful to see the grounds and the building!
The palm trees surrounding us were also a delight.
As well as this bird of paradise plant!
The evening brought us back to the pier for a walk in the sunshine!
The air was salty and sea-foody smelling, and I loved it! I so enjoy the ocean.
It was also pretty fun to have this guy to myself without any parenting responsibilities. Huge thanks to Gramma and Grampa for holding down the fort back home (I left them a two page schedule of events). They are champs!
We finished the evening with a dip in the pool before heading to bed early so we were well rested for our full week of fun ahead!
