Weekend in San Diego

We were feeling a little "caged in"

And my partner teacher surprised me with an early Christmas present... Saturday night at the Manchester Hyatt in SD. So we packed up all of our yellow and gold gear (to support the Chargers at all times) and drove down to San Diego Saturday afternoon.First stay in a hotel room.. The beautiful view from our room.... down there is Sea Port Village where we walked around looking for a place for an early dinner but didn't find anything. So we bundled up little man and drove over to OB for the Christmas parade. Thomas lived in OB when we were down there for school so we love to go back and visit. The parade has gotton longer and longer every year.... after an hour and 45 minutes we decided we were paraded out but we had a great time with Grandma W. We walked back to the car (which we were able to park in Thomas' aunt and uncle's driveway other wise we would have had a much longer walk.) and drove around trying to find dinner...

This truck was entered in the parade because some kids covered it in magnets because they wanted to be in the parade. That's what the OB parade is like... a bunch of people who just want to have fun.... they even have a group that is a float just dedicated to those who want to be in a parade and anyone can join as the parade goes along...

Jonathan got all tuckerd out by the end

Since we knew pip- squeak would not be good with any form of a resturant for dinner we just got pic up stics and enjoyed it in the car... he was sleeping in the backseat while we ate in the parking lot... :0) Thomas found extraordinary desserts ( a place that has YUMMY desserts that we found last time we were down there) so he ran in and picked up two desserts that we enjoyed at our hotel room.
Even though the room was really dark and the bed was really cozy Jonathan didn't think he needed to "sleep in " in his pac n play. So we were up and ready for the zoo on Sunday!

He enjoyed being big and taking a bath in a real tub.
