June trip to San Diego

First let me start off saying i apologize for being MIA. Work, traveling to CA, and my "boys" have kept me very very busy.

But recently we (CSP, Travis and i) have been spending almost all my days off in San Diego, and our last trip was probably the best so far. We borrowed CSP's moms PT Cruiser (which i love), packed it with pillows, blankets, food and CAMPING GEAR (can you tell we were most excited about camping?). The 5-6 hour drive to San Diego was better than i had pictured it being, esp since Travis and I are so spoiled with flight benefits, and Travis even said a few times "this is taking to long, i want to fly". But eventually like a good child, he feel asleep. There is nothing more precious than a baby sleeping... even though Travis will tell you that he is not a baby, he is a big boy...

On our drive out there, CSP decided that he WAS going to go scuba diving, and there were no ifs, ands or butts about it. Soooo I caved in, like i always do and drove him down to the scuba shop bright and early friday morning and sent him off...

my sexy man in his wet suit... love it!

The main reasons we went to San Diego, were to celebrate my lil brothers 15th birthday and to go camping. Brian aka B aka Uncle B, decided that he wanted to go to Islands for his Pre-Bday (good choice), so us kids took him out. CSP decided that he couldnt wait to sit down and have a drink, so i found him at the bar... but low and behold, i found Travis with him.

isnt he a peach

i think CSP is giving him tips on what is a good thing to order... get mama a midori sour baby... :)


So after 2 days of eating out with the Family for B's birthday weekend... we headed out to Carlsbad State Beach and went CAMPING. I think i was the most excited... until it was time to sleep in the tents... note to self next time bring air mattress. As cold as the water was, i could not keep CSP and Travis out of the water. We rented boogie boards and they had an absolute blast. Travis wiped out a few times, but he is such a good sport and stood right up, wiped the salt water out of his eyes, and walked right back out into the water.

Travis, i think the board is as big as him :)

So, i am a huge fan of being around good company. I love large crowds, i love lots of noise, i love chaos, i even welcome uninvited guests, but uninvited guests who steal my food, or creep me out, i am not a fan of.

-So dear squirrel please do not chew through our luggage to steal food, or steal the dogs food off the table again.

-And to you dear lizard, you scared the hell out of me and i would like some warning next time you decide to come to our "watering hole" that our cooler so generously made for you...

the uninvited

other than that nights around the fire, making smores, sleeping with waves crashing behind you, and watching my family have a blast made my visit so well worth it! Now the drive home was a whole other story...
