Our family took a quick trip to San Diego last weekend (all planned two days before we left). No, it was not an emergency of any kind. Tom had to meet with some colleagues at Qualcomm in San Diego, and since the price of a plane ticket for me was $300, we all went to San Diego. Everywhere in the country experienced winter weather last weekend, and San Diego was not spared. Fortunately, the sun was out Sunday and Tuesday of our trip and it just sprinkled on Saturday and poured on Tuesday. Even with "bad" San Diego weather, we still enjoyed some time in the cool air and in the sunshine. We spent Saturday in Old Town, shopping and looking at a few museums. On Sunday, we went to Seaworld and enjoyed the park with few attendees. Tom worked Monday and Tuesday, so Luke and I hung out during the day together. We explored the science museum and natural history museum on Monday (Luke even napped, so I could watch an IMAX movie) and we had a great dinner with Tom's colleagues at Buca di beppo. I took Luke to the Wild Animal Park on Tuesday. Of all the animals at the park, Luke was most entertained by the ducks. Luke was an almost perfectly behaved young man on the entire vacation ... until the plane ride home. Fortunately, the gate agent gave us an entire row to ourselves at the back of the plane. Luke had no interest in napping, even though he was extremely tired. We landed in Portland to a winter wonderland. Enjoy some photos from our quick holiday getaway.
