Dad Survives San Diego Trip

When Rebekah announced that we go to San Diego to meet up with family from New York state, I have to admit that I was very hesitant. We hadn't traveled anywhere further than the mall with Zoe, who is five months. She did very well.

We actually stayed in Solana Beach (pictured above) with Rebekah's brother Alex, and her parents. They have a second cousin enlisted in the Navy, stationed in San Diego. Her parents came out for over a week to visit her. Their original plan was to drive to Phoenix and visit Bekah's family. But why drive 5+ hours to come to the desert heat when you're in cool San Diego, by the Ocean? So we decided to go out there.

We did the typical beach visit. Saturday we visited Birch Aquarium, which Rebekah and I have done before, but the rest of the family hadn't. That night we ate at an Italian restaurant, Parioli. I had the seafood risotto, which was very good. We sat outside on the patio, which had a nice atmosphere. We were treated to a movie, Cosi Ridevano, on their outdoor screen. I didn't catch much of the movie, though.

It was good to get away, albeit a short weekend.
