This past weekend we went to San Diego with my mom and dad. Anthony had set this up and truth be known I wasn't sure we were going to be able to go. With his schedule I didn't plan on it until a couple days before. Anthony has a friend with a fishing boat and a condo in Mission bay. The condo was quite nice. It was close to the beach, which we didn't go to. We were busy doing other things. So we left thursday mid-morning and got there around 5:00. anthony and my dad had to go buy their fishing license for the next day, so we dropped off our things at the condo and headed to the shop to get the licenses. After that we found a great restaurant that was right off the water and next to the kitty hawk. There were 2 restaurants, the one on top was a little too upscale for us so we headed downstairs to the one that was more our style. The fish was really good and I am not a fan of fish unless it is FRESH!!! We then walked over to the kitty hawk, which is so huge up close! We didn't tour it but decided that that would be a great place to take our kids. We'll be back to do that. We headed over to Coronado island to get some ice cream. That was nice. It was so nice to be outside and feel the coolness of the air. something that I haven't done in Arizona in a long time! We ate ice cream and headed back to the condo. We were all tired and knew the morning was going to come soon. The boys got up at 4:30 a.m. and we dropped them off at the marina. Mom and I headed back to the condo and went back to bed until 9:30. We got up had a yummy breakfast and headed to old town San Diego. I love that place. They just have the best shops. we then headed over to pick up Anthony and Dad. They didn't catch anything. Well the story actually goes like this. My dad caught something and when it got up to the side of the boat the line snapped. It was "the one that got away". They were hungry so went and ate at hodads. It's a hole in the wall restaurant that was featured on "dinners, drive-ins, and dives." I think it would classify as a DIVE!!! If you go don't mind the people serving you with nose rings and tattoos all over them. I felt like I needed to use some serious sanitizer!!!!!! The hamburgers were HUGE!!! It was good. The malts are so good and the frings! It was all good they just needed to sanitize some things, namely everything! We went back to the condo and hung out the rest of the night. The next morning we got up packed it up and headed for down town San Diego. We did some more shops and found a great hat shop. I will post some pictures. It was fun to go do a trip with my parents and it was nice to have a break from kids. Thank you to all those that watched my kids. I outsourced all my kids. It was a major undertaking trying to find 4 people that would watch my kids for 3 days. But I have great friends and family that took them. I appreciate everyones help.
Notice the womens hat on my dads head. I don't think the shop owners thought we were being all that funny. The hat on my head was $130.00. I really don't think they thought we were funny. Oh WEll!!!! we had fun.
