Vacation Day 1

Saturday, July 18th

Thank you to Dad for driving us to the airport. We arrived in San Diego around 11:30 a.m. We got a rental car for the first 3 days and then got around on bikes the rest of the time.

We wandered around Coronado Island for awhile before we could check in.

The beach on Coronado Island by where we ate lunch - Matt's first time to ever touch beach sand and touch the ocean

Yay!! He's finally touched the ocean

We saw a little girl catch a pigeon with her bare hands

Matt surprised me on Friday that we were going to a Padres baseball game - and front row seats too

Our view of the game - it was awesome - we had tons of fun watching the game

It was free visor game - they gave everyone these ... as you can see in the background

Talk about the funniest looking mascot ... friar tuck

And they even have different versions of their friar

We're Baaaccckkk

Back to reality ... unfortunately. We had a BLAST! We loved it and wish we were still there of course. I've got tons and tons of pictures to put and fun stories to tell. And once we get slightly more settled in ... posts will be flowing from my fingers! But ....... along with coming back to reality we came back with lots to unpack, loads of laundry, and a not so clean house that needs some work in multiple areas.

We made a couple stops on our way home from work ... one of which was the library cause Matt has been really wanting to re-read the 6th Harry Potter after we saw the movie ... so we became library card holders today. We not only walked out with Harry Potter but 2 other books and 2 movies. I've got a feeling he's got a lot of late nights of not being able to put the book down ahead of him (they're not small books). I just thought it was funny ... cause I'm the total opposite with books ... I very much dislike reading.
