For our summer vacation we were supposed to go to the Oregon Coast but with Covid and the fires we had to cancel it which was so sad for me. I was so looking forward to it but that’s just not the place you want to be right now. So I adjusted plans and kind of last minute begged Toby to take us to San Diego. I knew we could be careful and wear our masks and with our free gas and points to use at hotels we just went for it! I was so dang happy when he told me he booked us a hotel. We pretty much loaded the car and left the next day! We left on Thursday and came home on Sunday which really only gave us 2 full days but we made the most of those days like we always do! The first day we woke up there we went to La Jolla beach and went to check out all of the seals. Oh my gosh it was SOOO cool! I had seen pictures and heard about it but never been there myself. My kids LOVED it! Seals everywhere laying around, swimming, waddling right by you. They were so cute and the beach was just beautiful. Sure it smelled terrible but it was easy to get passed it just because everything around was just so amazing. The tide pools there were exceptional and full of cool creatures. It wasn’t a real relaxing type of beach though so we headed up the coast to find one. We passed the San Diego Temple which is one of the most beautiful temples in the world so we had to get out and take a picture. Then we went on and found Solana Beach. It was a tiny bit more crowded than I would have liked but we just went and found a little secluded area and it was perfect. The kids played in the sand, had sand creating contests, swam, ate, read, relaxed and loved being in California together. After we headed back to the hotel, got take out and watched a movie together. Perfect day.
