Josh finished up his next to last official quarter last Friday and had this week off before starting his last quarter this coming Monday. Since he had so much time off and we don't have much time left here we decided to take advantage of it and visit San Diego while are still here! We absolutely LOVED it!
We left Monterey on Sunday and headed for SD...it took us about 8 hours total to get there! We were a little nervous to be traveling with a 4 month old who is bf but she did WONDERFUL! We decided to leave early since she is happiest in the am and most cooperative! We drove for 3 hours which was halfway mileage wise...and stopped for lunch and to let Adah get out of her carseat and get a clean diaper on....she slept the whole first 3 hours! We got back on the road after lunch and stopped about 1.5 hours later for a diaper change and then one more time about 45min outside of SD at a Vista look out point. We made it to SD around 4pm...got to the hotel and set up the pack n play then went out and got some dinner to bring back to the room! Unfortuntly we didn't realize that staying in a hotel with a baby ment that when she goes to bed all must be quiet...lights out...so Josh and I laid in the dark playing on our phones and on the computer watching the Cowboys game w/o the sound on!
Since there are several pictures and stories to tell about each day, I will do each day as its own post. The first day we went to Sea World...the second day was the zoo and Coronado Island.
Here are a few pics of Adah from the trip to hold you over until I can get the other posts and pictures up!
Mommy and Adah the morning we left! I was paying attention to Josh and Adah was actually looking at the camera...go figure!
This has nothing to do with the trip but I wanted to put it up for Uncle Josh since he got this for Adah! Wreck 'em!
Adah on the car ride to SD....watching her Video on my laptop...thanks G-pa and Nana!
This is what Adah thinks of her first trip to Chick Fil A!
Excited to be in SD!

Love the pic of you two. Y'all are so adorable! Glad to hear y'all had fun. And yes, staying in hotel with little one is tricky. We went to waterpark when Katrina was 18mo, and when she went to sleep in her pack n play, we put a dining table on it's side in front of pack n play to block the light from the TV and watched shows with closed captioning :) Fun times :)
Cute pics. What does "bf" mean? When you say you were traveling with a 4 month who is "bf" I get confused. Please explain to me so I feel less dumb. :)
First Family Trip - that's so exciting! I love how you mentioned the hotel set up - with having to keep the lights off and be quiet. It's not something you would ever think of before experiencing it. We too discovered this inconvenience during our first hotel stay with Evie. Now we try to stay in suites so there are 2 separate rooms! Can't wait to see the pictures from the trip!
Hi! This is really random, but I am one of Mary Pat's good friends and I found your blog through hers. I have talked with her about you before, once I saw your blog, because I see that your husband is in the military! I have been dating a guy for the past 3 years who is currently in Navy flight school to be a pilot. I would love to speak with you about your experience, get tips, advice, wisdom- because sometimes I feel like it's so hard and I know I haven't even experienced the half of it! Anyways, Mary Pat keeps on encouraging me to message you, so here I am! Also, I find it funny that I am commenting on this post, because my family moved to San Diego while I was in college (they are now back in Houston) but we kept the house out there as a vacation home. I love it too. Such a wonderful place! Well, I look forward to getting to know your story!

How adorable! How in the world did you manage bf at the zoo?. Wow. Wonder Woman, lol. Looks like you guys had a blast! I love the pic of you and Adah, she looks so much like you! I think you should show us a baby pic of you and one of Josh just so we can see. :)
