Six weeks after Mac was born he decided he needed some excitement... so we packed him up and headed to San Diego... er... Matt and ginger had some work out there, so we decided to tag along for a bit. We started off the vacation at a super luxe, broadmoor-esque resort. No complaints here, it was incredibly luxurious, full of interesting textures, a fragrant rose garden was housed out our window, and all in all it was super pleasant. We spent a few days here, then headed to La Jolla for a few more. Mac did surprisingly well, and it was worth the extra effort/sleepless nights.
We would open the double doors and let the warm air and rosy fragrance come into the room, Mac loved it.
We hung poolside quite a bit. There was plenty of shade for the little man, salt water pools, and music piped in under the water. Take me back... please.
Kicking it poolside, and loving it!
See what I mean... luxurious. And we had chocolate covered oreos in our room. mmmm.
Yes those swim trunks were 0-3 months, despite their grave digger status. He loved the pool, just totally relaxed and let us move him around in the water.
We attempted the beach one day, but it was super (uncharacteristically) hot and windy.
Didn't last too long.
We took a nice hike along the top of the coastline.
Angel baby. He did smile there for the first time, a real smile, not just the kind in his sleep. I may have cried.
We had an amazing dinner one night at the resort, and this was the beautiful canopy overhead, it overlooked the squash courts.
Real.
We made not one, not two, but three trips to Oscars for the MOST AMAZING fish tacos. It's a total hole in the wall place, but packed every time we went there. The fish was completely fresh, guac on everything, and cheese on the bottom of the fresh made tortillas. I want some right now.
Ginger got some Mac loving over breakfast.
Not my best look... but hey, go easy on me, I just had a babe.
Seriously.
San Diego zoo lived up to the hype.
No comment. Not necessary.

I love California! I used to go there every summer as a girl...Miss it!
It's amazing how quickly babies change. He's getting chubbier!
San Diego looks great. If only the cost of living weren't so astronomical in CA, eh?
