Our trip could be summed up like this: Dan and I went to San Diego. \u00a0Without kids. \u00a0It was glorious but cold.<\/p>\n

I haven’t posted any news or pics of our trip because, in all honesty, there’s just too much to share and little time to sit down and type it out. \u00a0We kept busy, saw all the sights we needed to see (and some we didn’t) and literally enjoyed the hell out of ourselves for 5 full days.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a step back. \u00a0Jaia was born in December 2006. \u00a0November 2006 was the last time my husband and I travelled anywhere without kids, (and this trip even included my sister, who was also visiting Las Vegas at the same time as we were.) \u00a0So, needless to say, it was long overdue.<\/p>\n

My parents graciously (and excitedly) offered to watch Jaia and Wes while Dan and I flew across the country together. \u00a0Alone! \u00a0And if it wasn’t for the fact that Jaia packed her bags 6 weeks early in anticipation, I may not have been so keen on leaving them. \u00a0But they were in fantastic hands and I was in need of a getaway. \u00a0A few days of sleeping in. \u00a0A few days of finishing books that have been left sitting for months. \u00a0A few days of relaxing. \u00a0Of enjoying walks out with my husband. \u00a0Of dinners at 8 pm and breakfasts at 10.<\/p>\n

And San Diego delivered. \u00a0It’s definitely a pretty city. \u00a0And very oddly, with a small town feel. \u00a0Maybe it was because we were staying right downtown in the Gaslamp District, but everything just felt…close. \u00a0And walkable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And holy, did we ever walk. \u00a0There haven’t been many vacations that Dan and I have taken together that we haven’t had access to a car. \u00a0On this one, we didn’t want it. \u00a0And the Band-Aid company profited. \u00a0I bought 2 boxes while there. \u00a0So worth it though. \u00a0And it helped worked off all the food we consumed ALL. DAY. LONG. \u00a0I blame the 3 hour time difference but really, I just like food. \u00a0And beer. \u00a0San Diego had great beer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I could get used to living so close to the ocean…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Notice the Band-Aid).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Does it get better than hearing the waves crash and breathing in the clean, crisp ocean air? \u00a0Do people who were born and raised in this part of California realize how lucky they are?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stay classy, San Diego. \u00a0We’ll be back some day…<\/p>\n
