Parting is such sweet sorrow! Yesterday we had to tear ourselves away from the beach in La Jolla and say goodbye to our wonderful friends at the same time! The Spackman's are moving to Aix, France and we won't see them until our visit in April. We had such a great family vacation with them in San Diego!!! It was our "grand finale" to summer and it was bliss! The kids soaked up plenty of sun while enjoying some of their favorite friends! I loved watching their sweet expressions, the way they were fully entranced by the sand and sun and all the attractions. Now we have to prepare ourselves for school. Fun.
There is too much to cram into this post so I will highlight as usual. Here goes...
Walking, rollerblading, and riding scooters down boardwalk on Pacific beach-lots of crashes but no one was suriously injured!
Breakfast at Kono's. The best french toast EVER! Cheap, tasty eats!!!!
Boogie boarding. Kelly was a natural and couldn't get enough! Brandon and Kelly were out in the water more than our kids! Noah and Bailey gave it a shot and really enjoyed catching the waves!
Amazing sea weed/kelp art jewelry made by two clever girls named Bailey and Sophie!
Sand so soft it was like walking in flour!
PERFECT moderate weather-made lines at Sea World pleasant and our beach stay longer.
Meeting in the lobby of hotel at 10:30 P.M. with Brandon and Jill. Ate Cheesecake Factory Mud Pie and laughed our guts out. Yes, I was crying! We stayed till 1:00 A.M.
Planning our futures on the beach...trips are in the works, as usual!
Gelato-need I say more?
Anthony's Sea Food Grotto!!!! Fresh fish, calamari, clam chowder oh my!

Shamu, Sea Lion show, Cirque de la Mer show, Bat Rays, Atlantis ride, winning lots of stuffed walruses.
Trader Joe's run. I bought 25 packs of their "Just Bananas" dried bananas that Kelly LOVES and 10 boxes of their frozen chocolate croissants plus a lot of other great things. The guy checking me out was looking at me funny and asked if I was shipping this to someone. hahahah! I love that store!
Tour of three old ships in harbor-submarine, ship used in movie Master and Commander, and the Star of India. Kids LOVED it!
