San Diego

We picked a great weekend to slip down to San Diego. It was HOT in Orange County. It must have been triple digits because we've been home for 4 hours now and our house is still not cool. With that said, we tagged along with Mike on a work incentive trip and had a GREAT little get away. The kids and I drove down Saturday morning and met Dad at the hotel. We stayed at the Marriott overlooking Petco Park in the Gaslamp district. Talk about cool. Our room had a view of the ballpark. After Maddie and Wil burned off some pent up, car ride energy jumping between the beds, we walked over to the park (literally right across the street) and took in a Padres game. After a few innings at the ballpark, Wil and Dad headed back for naps and Maddie and I were free to do some SHOPPING! We had so much fun. Maddie loved trying on all the clothes with me and she came up with her own "style" at White House Black Market. The ladies in the store were so sweet. They were encouraging Maddie and admiring the outfit she put together. One of the Saleswoman brought her a pair of pumps to boot. She had a ball.
After walking the 6-8 blocks over to the mall, we decided to catch a "Pedi Cab" to tote us back to the hotel. Maddie loved that and it was pretty fun. The bicyclist couldn't believe it was our first pedicab ride.
On our way to dinner, we popped into a fun toy store Maddie and I had scouted out earlier in the day and they each got to pick out a toy. Maddie insisted on this big plush dog. Like she doesn't have a gazillion stuffed animals and William picked out a new train and car (surprise, surprise). It was a great day.
