We stayed on Shelter Island, near the Bay Club where everyone stayed for the wedding. It worked out well, since it was on a “beach”, overlooking a marina, and there were two playgrounds nearby. In the mornings before Solly’s nap we could play around without trying to stay out of someone’s way.
Of course, they had a pool. We’re definitely not in the Pacific Northwest anymore!
We spent most of our time in San Diego taking Solly on a culinary tour. The first place we went (before we bought him shoes, since we forgot them) was Point Loma Seafood! Solly loved his fish and chips. The next meal was our favorite Russian place, Pomegranate.
Note the big bowl of borscht he’s working on!
Solly leaving his hand print next to where we wrote the night we got engaged.
We took a trip to La Jolla to visit old friends and colleagues. We decided to park a bit further away and walk along the beach to get there. Solly loved seeing REAL waves. Then we went to check out the seals at the Children’s Pool.
We ended the day at Jimmy Carter’s Mexican Restaurant (some of the best Mexican food in San Diego, and therefore in the world). It was a long one, but not our longest!
We started the next day at the bread bakery having breakfast with our old friend, Alex.
We packed the day full and ran up to Encinitas to see the Paisners. Micah and Solly were very busy playing!
We got back to the hotel way too late, which knocked Solly off his schedule for the rest of the trip. But that didn’t keep us from having more fun! Especially since Grandma Carol and Grandpa Carl came up for a day to hang out with him.
The next day was the big Cabrillo reunion. I posted those photos on Facebook (and can put them on Snapfish), but as this is Solly’s blog (not MY blog), I’ll keep it brief (too late).
We had a big party for the reunion, and Solly was invited. He and his grandparents left early, but not after meeting some important people in our lives, and eating some great Mexican food.
All in all, a great trip! Old friends, good food, playgrounds on the beach, tidepool monitoring, and the zoo! Can’t get better than that…
