Stayin Classy in San Diego

We wanted to get away for a couple days, so a few weekends ago we went to San Diego for a little family trip! We had the hardest time finding a hotel to stay at due to Comic Com, but luckily we found one very last minute and made it happen! Wasn't the best hotel ever, actually it was probably the worst we've ever stayed in! But hey we got to get away, so we aren't complaining.. too much!! ;) We had such a great time and can't wait to go back again just Seth and I! On the first day we went to Coronado and rented a Surrey(a side by side bike thing, pic below) and rode around the whole island of Coronado! We made great time, under 2 hours and that was with a stop for gelato (YUM!) at Nado Gelato! Was a great workout too(needed after the the gelato!)! After that we went to lunch at Miguels and then walked through Hotel Del Coronado and checked out the shops. Then we tried to give Mitch a nap back at our Motel Del "Crapo", but he wasn't into it. So Seth and I rested while Mitch ran around shrieking for 2 hours. Then we went to Little Italy and had dinner there and then went to Old Town for a little bit. YAY for the tortilla makers all around Old town, SO GOOD!! We had a great time and decided to go back the next day after we went to Point Loma in the morning and Gaslight District for lunch and some checking out of the Comic Con freaks! SO AWESOME, they were everywhere!!!! When we went back to Old Town we decided to check out the Mormon Battalion Historic Site and when we walked in the greeters said "Happy Pioneer Day!"! So funny cause we didn't even realize it was Pioneer Day and it was such a perfect place to visit on that day, highly recommend on any other day too! So neat! Mitch did so good there! Not so much at dinner later at Casa De Reyes though. Oh well, he was tired and we can't blame him for that! We had a really good time despite a few little "Mitch hiccups", but we loved having him along for a fun family get away and it will make our future "alone trip" that much better! ;) Here are a ton of pics for ya!

Lets do this!! At the start of our surrey ride around Coronado! So fun, next time we want to do the Segway tour!

Your pictures are SUPER CUTE!!! Looks like you guys had a ton of fun! Sounds like you figured out lots of the fun places to go! Glad you got to do that. You should check out Seaport Village next time, it is right off of Downtown by the Gaslamp area. You would love it, well I do! You guys are a cute little family!
