San Diego, CA
After less than 24 hours in San Diego, Malia said “I’m moving here!” Ivy has also been enthusiastic about the state, but she wants to live in Hollywood so she can “see pop stars!”
After a 2 1/2 hour drive from Palm Beach that turned into a 4+ hour drive because of traffic, we arrived at our friends’ house in El Cajon (a suburb of San Deigo). Our girls were excited to be back in a house with other kids besides each other. The Larsons have 4 kids. Their youngest was about Ivy’s age and they hit it off almost immediately. Mark had fun catching up with his Bible school buddy, Jeremiah. It was their first time seeing each other in over 20 years and my first time meeting this really awesome family. They were great hosts and we loved getting to know them.
Our family day in San Diego included watching the hundreds of Sea Lions at La Jolla Beach, watching surfers at Pacific Beach, and taking in the views over Sunset Cliffs.
To get the full experience of seeing the pile of sea lions relaxing on the shore, you need a video with the sound on. They really make a lot of noise.
Mark and I had a date (no kids) walking the Coronado Beach and admiring the historic Coronado Hotel. We decided we would like to stay there someday….maybe for a future anniversary.
Thank you, Larson family, for a great weekend in San Diego! We loved it!
