Back to Cali

This year, for my mom's birthday, she decided to go to San Diego with my brothers and her friend Amy. She invited Tyler and me, but Tyler had to work that weekend because he had been gone for AT for so long. A few days before they left, we came up with the idea that I would fly in and meet them in San Diego for the weekend and then drive back home with them, so I wouldnt have to drive by myself with Hallie. So just like that we booked a last minute flight. Hallie was so excited to be on a plane again. She is so happy flying. In fact, she got a little too excited. Five minutes into the flight I felt my pants get warm. I was soaked. I was relieved to find my pants dried when we started to descend, and then felt my leg get warm again. Seriously, isn't that why I spend a fortune on diapers every month? To prevent this from happening? Eh, I guess it could have been worse. Since our flight was super early in the morning on Friday, we went straight to the beach for the day. Hallie was unsure about the sand at first, but warmed up to it. We were at dog beach, so she also really enjoyed all the dogs. She even said doggie a couple of times! I got completely fried crispy. To this day, I still have burn marks and its been a week. Ouch. Hallie was pretty covered the whole time AND had sunscreen on, but I really think she was just blessed with that lovely olive skin color that just tans her when she's out in the sun. Friday night we of course went to Hodad's for dinner and had a yummy burger and an order of frings! I love that place, no trip to San Diego is complete until you've been there. The next day we ventured out into the sun again and went to the farmers market at Ocean Beach. Then in the evening when it cooled down we went back to the beach and enjoyed being able to be comfortable in sweatshirts! We left Sunday morning and drove back home. Um, Hallie slept the whole time! I don't know how this happened, or even if it will ever happen again, but I'll take it! She was once again, SO GOOD the whole trip. This girl is made to be on vacation. She absolutely loves it. Even walking around in her stroller, her legs are kicking, her fists are pumping, and she has the biggest smile. It cracks me up. I am so glad to have such a good traveling baby. It makes vacation so much more enjoyable!

PS..is she not the CUTEST beach baby you've ever seen? Ah I could die!
