Our surprise weekend vacation, Day 1

We knew the Dad had a plan for a weekend vacation for us but we had no idea where. It started Friday morning. We first stopped at a breakfast buffet at 7 am. At 8:15 we were on the road. About 2 hours into the trip the kids were asleep and I started seeing signs for so many places there was no way I could guess. Various cities in Utah, various cities in California. It could have been anyone's guess.

The kids slept until about hour from our destination. The drive was beautiful. We had reached CA but still it could have been so many different big cities there still was no telling.

As we got to about 3 miles from our hotel I figured it out. Im not good at figuring stuff out!

We were in San Dieogo California after a very quick 5 hour drive. Since it was later in the day about 3ish, we ended up walking in Old Town San Diego. A very old town from 1820's.

Old Town is flooded with great Mexican food. The ladies were hand making all the tortillas. The smell was amazing. Nick and I really wanted to eat here for dinner but Kayla had been asking for a month to go to a steakhouse so we promised her we would before seeing Old Town. We were kicking ourselves. 

After Old Town we went downtown San Diego searching for a steakhouse, for a 4 year old.

After Kayla had her steak fix...we walked the water right across the street. 

There were cruise ships. We had dinner right in front of these babies! It was soooo neat. 

We watched one of the ships pull out and toot that loud horn!

This is Old Town.

Governor's house from the 1820's.
