Thanksgiving Week, Part 1: San Diego!

Somehow today is November 30th.  I'm not quite sure how that happened.  It seems like we were just celebrating Harper's birthday and now we're passed Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas!  So here's the first post from Thanksgiving week before I get too far behind...

Our week started off with a trip to San Diego.  We drove to Longview the Friday before Thanksgiving, left Harper there with Jason's parents, drove to DFW on Saturday morning and then flew to San Diego.  Jason and I both needed a break.  Jason from work and me from my mom duties.  Don't get me wrong, I love Harper more than anything in the world, but feeding and cleaning up after that child plus the cooking, cleaning, laundry... I'm sure most of you reading this can understand.

I have to say, as nice as it was to getaway and have a break, I did miss Harper a lot {thank goodness for facetime!}.  I'm not sure that Harper missed us as much.  She had a really great time with her Nani and Pa, and I can't thank them enough for watching her :)

So San Diego.

On Sunday we met up with our friend Kellie in Coronado and had a wonderful day.  We ate lunch at Il Fornaio with views of the water and downtown San Diego, rode bikes all over Coronado, watched the sunset at the beach, drank too much wine and ate delicious California burritos for dinner.  It was a perfect day!  Thanks so much for being our tour guide Kellie!














On Monday we rented a car and drove up to La Jolla.  It was beautiful!  We hiked at Torrey Pines, checked out the golf course, took pictures of the seals, did a little shopping, and had a wonderful dinner at George's at the Cove overlooking the ocean.








We also went to Old Town {where we had really, really, really good margaritas and lunch at Casa Guadalajara}, Balboa Park, Seaport Village, Gaslamp District... but I don't have good pictures of those places.  

So that was most of our trip.  Now I'm going to try to rest some before Harper wakes up.  I took her to the zoo this morning, and I'm planning to take her to open gym at Gymboree when she wakes up from her nap.  Can you tell I'm bored with our park after going everyday this week???
