Vacation Re-Cap

We went on a semi-impromptu vacation last week {one of the days it turned 109, we decided to make plans to get out of town...fast}. We spent 4 days on Coronado Island in San Diego and it was heaven. We always take Brooks with us when we drive, and he has become the best little traveler. Here are some highlights...

J. loves the water, so he was overjoyed to rent a boat and drive around the bay.

We conveniently planned the trip around when the Chicago Cubs would be playing in San Diego. J found 3rd row seats online and they were awesome! I am not much of a sports fan, but sitting so close, you can't help but get into it. J was in heaven...

The next day we went walking along the beach by The Hotel Del and Brooks took a much needed break. He loves all the attention he gets from people walking by. This particular day it was 60 degrees, raining and freezing...so refreshing!

When it warmed up, we took Brooks to the dog beach where he was able to run with other dogs and enjoy the sand. He wore himself out in 7 minutes...he really isn't athletic so he spent most of the time sitting on a towel watching all the other dogs.

We decided that this was our favorite house on the island...

Vacations are wonderful, but it's always nice to be home.
