San Diego - Spring Break

With Kylee now in preschool, we have reason to celebrate Spring Break! We took advantage of the fact that Kylee didn't have school this week and that David has Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off. So we headed up to El Centro and then to San Diego for a few days. It was beautiful, but on the warmer side. We got an early taste of summer.

We drove up to El Centro and stayed with David's parents for the first day. Then we went up to San Diego and stayed there for 2 days and one night. We went to Anthony's Fish Grotto and had yummy seafood and steaks. This was the view from our table...

And this was my attempt at taking a picture of us with my camera phone! Hahaha! My old blackberry used to have a flash so normally this would've come out just fine, but come to find out.....my new blackberry does NOT have a flash! LOL! After I took this picture and saw how it came out, I think I laughed for about 10 minutes straight. You had to be there! Don't we look beautiful!? Hahaha!

This was Kylee on St. Patrick's Day. I forgot to pack her a green outfit so she carried this green egg around all day. She just thought it was pretty at first but then she carried it around because she said it was green. Funny girl! She had a BLAST with her Grandma and Grandpa.

David and I went and saw Avatar in 3D while we were in San Diego. It was an AMAZING movie! I totally prejudged it and had zero desire to go see it, but with nothing else showing in the movies that night that looked interesting, we decided to go see what all the "hype" was about. And I must say that it is truly one of the best movies I've seen! You MUST experience it in 3D too. Awesome!

Here I am with our COOL 3D glasses on!

And David with his.....

We had a great time!!! We wish it could've been longer but we are so lucky that we even had these 3 days to go have some fun. We had a little "bump" in the road on the beginning of our trip. We borrowed a DVD player from some friends of ours and let Kylee watch a movie the whole way over to California. This was Kylee's first experience watching tv in a moving car. Needless to say, she got a little car sick and threw up. Luckily she warned me ahead of time and we were able to catch most of it in a princess bucket that Kylee brought. She was sad that we had to throw it away though! I'm just glad that it was only car sickness and not a flu bug. I guess we won't be investing in a portable DVD player anytime soon!
