We flew to San Diego for our 7th anniversary with our 2 1/2 month old little Luke. He was great to fly with. He ate, slept, and pooped. :) Beware if flying with a baby that
1. you have to change their diaper in the tiniest bathroom, with the most awkward changing table ever. :)
2. your arm will get tired, so trade off with the hubby, a sling, or some kind of carrier would be great.
3. everyone wants to talk to you and your baby (but if you are a parent you probably already now this)

The day we got there we didn’t do much but walk around, get lunch/dinner, and see the sea lions in La Jolla. Unfortunately it was dark by the time we got there so it wasn’t the best photo opt. But it was cool to see them.

On Sunday we went to the San Diego zoo. Yes it is as cool as everyone says! :) You can kind of see the Panda in the background of the picture above.

(David is underneath this fake ice hold Luke through the hole. :) It got quite a few laughs from onlookers.)

The zoo is huge, lots and lots of walking. It also happened to be presidents day weekend which may or may not have made it busier, but there were sooo many people there.

As you can see from the many pictures of my Husband and son that they like to dress alike. I believe what my Husband said when I started buying boy clothes was, keep within what he himself would wear as much as possible. :) Which is fine with me. I can’t get over seeing my little boy dressed like a little man, it cracks me up. Oh and you can tell they are related by there expressions. :)

It’s tough to see, but this is our window with a sliver view of the bay. We stayed at the W which in past experiences is usually a taller hotel, but this time it was not. :) That window seat became Luke’s changing table also, since the hotel provided a weird jail like crib and not a pack’n’play like we thought.

Luke is actually dozing off, but I thought he looked so cool in his sunglasses. :)

Some of the views of San Diego from the Navy Base our cousins took us to. It was gorgeous and definitely a must do if you visit.

We went to this world renown restaurant Hodad’s someone told us about and waited in line for 45 minutes. That is us at the corner under the blue awning.

Um… yes that is a giant scoop of chocolate ice cream on top of my shake. It was soooo good. :)

Luke slept most of our time there but woke up at the end just in time to eat and get a couple pictures.

David’s double bacon cheeseburger. It was huge! But all the food was extremely good. I would highly recommend the onion rings.

Luke’s first time in the sand. He was pretty indifferent about it.

It was a nice 60 degrees most of the time we where there so it was nice to not have to bundle the little guy up all the time.

At the Airport on the way home. So much to see!

We had a wonderful time. Traveling with Luke was great, he is probably at the perfect age, as he isn’t squirmy and he is very alert. He had some issues with gas the day after we got there that I am thinking were from the flight and different altitude. But all in all besides a little extra worry from me from not traveling it was great. We will definitely be going back sometime as there is so much that we didn’t do.

Oh and we did rent a car, since so much of San Diego is not within walking distance. Normally we would just take public transportation as on past trips, but with a baby, stroller, carseat, and the possibility of a melt down we decided to rent. I am so glad we did as it allowed for a lot more fun and ease.

Thanks for stopping by!
