San Diego, CA: May, 2010

The long weekend and rising temperatures told us it was time to get out of town. We thought it would be a good time to go see Papa John again. Since it is a pretty short trip via car, and one of our favorite places to go, it was a no brainer. This time my brother and his family went out there as well. If we tried to plan it, it would not have happened that way. It is always nice to get the family together and I know my dad really enjoys spending time with his grandchildren. This time instead of walking the decks of the Midway, we went to the New Children's Museum and the Maritime Museum right on the Embarcadero. We also took a family trip to Sea World and the kids got a blast out of seeing the pet show and Shamu. Another great weekend in one of our favorite cities.


One of the best places to have breakfast downtown. The line to get a table is long, but the corned beef hash and pancakes are well worth the wait.

Sea World is always fun. This guy seemed to think he was just a little too important for us at the moment.


The Killer Whales are always a sight to behold. The show was great!

Again, we love San Diego and have been getting out there a couple times a year for the last couple of years. It is always good to see my dad and Patricia, and the kids always have a good time too.

Remember to tread lightly and leave no trace.
