a visit to nana and john's

while in california, we went to san diego for a weekend.
nana actually took the kids a day early for me, so i could help with april's bridal shower and not have the kids to worry about. (she took all 3 to sea world! i love that she will take on adventures with the kids... creates memories and spoils them, too!)

adam and i came up on saturday morning - after a little detour by our old place. adam indulged my wonderings of what it was like now - and it is exactly the same! except the 15 freeway is done, can you believe it?
we finally got to nana's new place downtown - and what a place! so posh and luxurious... it is really a cool place!
the kids took a ride on the luggage cart, too

jayden saw a picture opportunity and i obliged (at rubios - oh rubios, how we miss you)

waiting for the ferry to take us across to coronado
i had never done this - the whole time we lived in san diego

the golden ticket

heading down the ramp to get on the ferry boat

getting our seats - auntie sarah came along

loving every minute

nana and norah -
we got ice cream at cold stone and ate it on the grass.

before heading back, jayden took in the view of the san diego skyline

heading to the tidal pools at Cabrillo
it was such a clear and beautiful day!

we were pretty high up -- there were surfers down below

then nana finds herself getting too wet when the waves came in

little tootsies

norah wanting to jump right in!
