We really wanted to get away to see some blue sky and feel the warm sun on our faces...so we decided a quick trip down to San Diego was in order! We left Portland Friday at 12:30 and arrived in San Diego at 4:00. We had a small layover in Sacramento. We arrived however to a grey, water filled sky....yes...the rain followed us! It is however 30 degrees warmer, so we'll take that! The forecast says it should be dry on Monday and Tuesday. I hope so!
Henry did well on the plane. A few screaming moments during take-off and landing, but nothing too horrible. Thankfully there were several kids on the flight so Henry wasn't the only kid crying. On out 1st leg he had a seat to himself, which was nice to have a little more room, but the 2nd leg it was a packed flight, so no extra seats. Henry did manage to fall asleep on me for about 40 mins, thankfully! He ate lots of snacks, enjoyed playing with stickers, window clings, feeding Daddy fish crackers, and reading books.
We are also on the look out for some awesome Mexican food! We can't wait to dig in! :)
Day 1 of travels ended poorly, barely a nap for Henry, he was exhausted and sleeping in a new place was too much for him. He screamed most of the night and I had to swaddle him like a newborn. It was frustrating for us, cause he is never like this, even when we travel. Maybe his stomach was upset...or could be teething...I'm not sure, but we r exhausted.
Day 2 we started with a lavender bath. Hopefully that helps everyone! Its still raining, but not as much as yesterday. After Henry's short morning nap, we headed to Old San Diego for some Mexican food. We ate at Casa De Reyes. We ate there years ago and it was just as delicious. Thankfully the weather held out and we were able to walk around and enjoy the site with no rain! We had dinner at a pizza place near our hotel, it was alright, nothing to rave about. The most exciting thing to happen today occurred after dinner. We got Henry ready for bed and he was crawling around the hotel room, I glanced over near the kitchen to see Henry standing in the middle of the room and all of the sudden he took a step! I squealed in excitement. He laughed, dropped to his hands and knees and took a victory lap crawl around the room. Then he did it again and Raj was able to see him! We then decided to get the camera out, but of course, he was done at that point. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! :)
