San Diego Trip

Hi T. Last weekend we took a trip to San Diego where your Aunt Michelle lives. Believe it or not, I FORGOT my camera! I did however remember to bring the extra battery, yes you are right that's useless. Anyway there are no pics from our trip except I took a few from my BlackBerry (but they aren't great shots) and your Aunt busted-out an old-school film camera and took some pictures but we have to wait til they're developed to see those.

When we got into town we picked up your Aunt and drove over the Coronado Bridge to stroll around town, visit the famous Hotel Del, and show you the ocean again (which you still don't care about yet). You were more into visiting with Aunt Michelle than anything else, and that's okay because you could say the same for her.

The next day Daddy went to the US Open with your Grandpa, and you and I went to the zoo with your aunt and grandma. You had a great time. You saw giraffes, elephants, a panda bear, monkeys, a jaguar, a puma that wanted to eat your feet because you kept waving them in the air, flamingos, koalas and tons more animals. I can't even remember all the animals we saw, but we kept telling you they were a kitty, because that's a word you know well and understand. Sometimes they are hard too see when they are in the trees and such so we would point and say 'look at the kitty" and you would look around while we kept pointing and repeating 'kitty' until we heard a squeal of joy and we knew you'd spotted the animal. You love animals so it made it so fun for us to show them to you.

The next day Daddy and Grandpa went to the US Open again while the girls went to Sea World. More animals! This time you saw sharks, penguins, turtles, starfish and other aquamarine creatures. You're not even a year old yet and you've been to Sea World twice already!

You had a great time the whole trip. You only ever got mad a couple times, you're a great traveler! Of all the new things you experienced I think your favorite was just snuggling with your Aunt in her bed while she read to you. I have a feeling you're going to be visiting your Auntie a lot more now.
