One of our favorite places to go is San Diego. Hubby and I have been going since we were married. It is close enough to not take too much time to get there by car, yet a completely different place. It has perfect weather all year round and there is so much to do. It is such a great walking city. This time we went I was pregnant with Critter. Luckily not too far along that I was uncomfortable, but far enough along that I really looked pregnant. It was a great family trip that we could give to Pumpkin before her brother was born. We spent a whole week there doing all the things we wanted to. Amazingly enough we only planned two days and left the others up to the last minute, pretty impressive for us! :) We can not wait to go back and let Critter feel the sand between his toes.
We spent a few hours walking around Balboa Park just looking around at everything. Pumpkin got to just walk around and play at a neat playground. As many know, I do not photograph buildings often, but this one called to me. I just loved it. It was under a little bit of construction though, thankfully the tree was there to hide it! This place just reminds me of Europe and I loved it!
We stayed right downtown within walking distance of most things. We walked to Seaport Village often to get food or just look around. There is a GREAT pizza place there if you ever are craving pizza while on the ocean! :) Pumpkin got a kick out of eating while watching the birds and the water.
We spent two awesome days in Sea World. On the rainy morning we had scheduled a breakfast with Shamu. Totally worth it. Pumpkin did not eat much since all she wanted to look at was Shamu. She did not want to leave this area, everytime Shamu swam by she got all excited to talk to him and wave! Hubby and I had a great time, we forgot how much fun it was to be at Sea World!
We love going to the beaches on Coronado, Pumpkin loved watching the Navy planes flying overhead. It was a chilly day, but still fun to get REALLY sandy! At least this time on the trip she left some sand on the beach instead of taking it all away in her mouth! :)

Looks like a fun place to visit. I remember at my last job my boss had a post card from Coronado stuck on his bulletin board and I thought then this would be a nice place to go. That building is beautiful! Love to soak up this kind of stuff...thanks for sharing.
have a good weekend ~
