Great Weekend in San Diego

This past Friday and Saturday we took a little mini family vacation to San Diego. We had a great time on our short little trip. We spent way too much money on food but we had an awesome time :0). These pictures are backwards so we will start on Saturday morning:
We went to the Reuben H Fleet Science Center for the morning before heading back home. Jonathan LOVED LOVED LOVED it. It was all hands on so he had a great time. It was so interesting to watch how differently boys and girls "played" at the science center. One room had these building blocks and it was ALL boys and their dads except for me and to be honest I didn't get the appeal. :0) In this pic he wanted the ball but it was floating on the air...
Watching the steam come up when we pushed on the outside.
Taking a photo after breakfast at Sea Port Village. We ate outside on the patio and Jonathan loved watching all of the boats. He seriously asked a good 20 times to go to Havasu to see the boat and hug the boat. Poor kid misses it just as much as we do.
On Friday afternoon Jonathan did not take a nap so why not go swimming at the hotel pool? He was smiling the WHOLE time so I knew it was a chance to get a picture of the two of us. I know we are pretty white but there were a lot of vacationing east coasters so we didn't look to out of place.

The Highlight of the trip to the zoo for Jonathan was the polar bear character. He was in love with the polar bear. He wanted to have one more turn about 10 times. We finally had to drag him away so the man in the suit could go on break!
Ha ha the spider and the fly.
He was telling all the kids: SHHH goats are seeping (sleeping) go away!
I think he is going to be a farmer because of his love for animals and tractors. :0) He was finding hay on the ground and feeding it to the goats.
Gorillas - he liked watching the baby run to its momma.
Family photo with the teething (I think) boy and a finger in his mouth.
Saber tooth.

We had a blast and can't wait till we can go back again. There are no photos but all I have to say is that one bonus of staying in a hotel with a little boy who goes to bed early is getting Extraordinary Desserts to go!! Nothing like passion fruit torte and chocolate macadamia nut torte in bed with the TV turned down really low. mmmmm. Oh and so I don't forget Jonathan fell in love with Miguel's White Sauce and chowed down... he knows what is good.
