San Diego Part 1

We said our, 'see you later' to our baby girl Saturday afternoon for our departure to San Diego.  

Not going to lie, I got a little teary-eyed but I didn't cry.  I was very proud of myself.  I knew she was going to be in GREAT hands!

We got to the airport around 3 pm and departed at 4pm.  I pumped before leaving the house and knew I was going to have to pump on the plane since we didn't have a long layover in Atlanta and we didn't get to sit next to one another on the plane to San Diego.  I wasn't about to pump next to a stranger, so I pumped on the little commuter plane to Atlanta.  That was awkward!  I went to the lavatory to set myself up and ran to my seat so no one would wonder what was sticking out of my shirt, ha.  Oh the things I do for my child...even though I dumped the milk...that was hard.  I just closed my eyes when pouring it out.  I didn't want to deal with it while on our trip. Plus, I wanted to drink a little more caffeine and have more than one adult beverage. 

We arrived in San Diego at 8:30 pm, grabbed our taxi and made our way to our hotel.  The Westgate was beautiful.  Old and grande.

Our room had a nice view.

 We were both tired...especially me since I had been up since 5:30 am.  We called it a night.  Sadly, I didn't sleep well since I didn't have my box fan.  I need noise to sleep.

I got up at 6 am and called my Mom to check on little one.  She was doing great which made me feel better.  She went down easily and woke up happy :)  After our little talk I got back into bed.  It rained all morning.  Brian had to make his way to Hotel Del Coronado

for his conference.  He left around 8:45 am.  I made myself a cup of coffee, watched House Hunters and stayed in bed until 10:30 am.  Pure bliss!

Check out was at noon.  I was starving since I didn't have breakfast, well, I had a granola bar but that doesn't count, so I walked to Panera Bread and had myself a cup of Turkey Chili and half a Turkey & Avocado sandwich.  It was delicious!

 

After lunch I walked across the street to the mall.  I browsed for myself, but of course gravitated to clothes for Vivian.  I bought her two adorable swimsuits from Baby Gap.

I CAN'T wait to see her in this!  Going to be so cute.  After walking around, I made my way back to the hotel to grab my luggage and a taxi.  I told Brian I would be at the hotel around 2 pm since he was going to be finishing up at 2:30.  Once I got into the taxi he texted saying he was done and that he was in the room.  He did text me earlier to let me know how much the cab fare was and that he was able to check into the room early, but there was a catch.  The room is supposedly haunted by a ghost named Kate Morgan. Great!

Hotel Del Coronado is absolutely beautiful and massive!

We walked to the beach to check out the waves.  A little bigger than on the East Coast.

We started to get hungry so we freshened up and went to Miguel's Cocina for some Mexican.  It was so good!

I went for the chicken chimichanga.  Oink, oink! 

After eating we started to walk back to the hotel and saying how tired we were.

 

I asked him what time it was and he said, "six o'clock."  What?!  We can't go to our room this early!  So, we went to a little bar and had a drink.

We stayed until 8.  We are super wild!  

I woke up before 5:30 am this morning because I heard my phone drop on the floor.  I moved next to Brian quickly.  He asked what that was and I told him my phone fell off the table by itself.  He goes, "Kate, Kate, are you in here?"  Little scary...not going to lie.  I went ahead and got dressed after pumping because I didn't want to be in the room by myself when I had to shower.  Brian had to be at his conference at 8:30.

I was on the bed watching tv and B walked out from the bathroom after his shower and told me to come here he wanted to show me something.  I was hesitant, but went into the bathroom anyway and this is what I saw.

That goober.  Too funny.

We walked out together and I grabbed some breakfast and walked around the hotel.

Brian finished up around 11 am and we grabbed lunch at the Burger Lounge.  It was so good!  I got the Quinoa Burger and we shared some fries.  B got a cheese burger that he really enjoyed.

We finished up and walked the strip.  We did stop for a sweet treat.

Couldn't say 'no' to that!  We were miserable and decided to make our way to our room for a much needed nap.  

I woke up t 2:30 and called my Mom to check on baby girl.  They were doing great!  Can't wait to see her Thursday morning!!

Not sure what we are doing tonight, but tomorrow we are going to San Diego Zoo.  Wish Vivy was here so she could see the animals!
