San Diego recap + Friday Faves

San Diego was the BEST. We loved 4 days in one in all our very favourite locations and in addition loved some new adventures. We skilled LEGOLAND for the primary time, took the ladies paddle boarding and kayaking (twice as a result of they beloved it a lot!) and we discovered P shouldn’t be a fan of Melting Pot lol.

We bought in on Friday afternoon and determined to spend the afternoon procuring at UTC, after which loved dinner at Seasons 52. We haven’t been to at least one in years – I hold wishing Tucson will get one! – and it lived as much as the fond recollections. After all, the ladies beloved the mini desserts.

We known as it an earlier night time, and the following day, we awoke and it was raining. It hardly ever rains in San Diego, regardless of June Gloom and Might Gray, and after being within the scorching Tucson warmth, it was fairly beautiful.

I caught a Lagree class

whereas the crew grabbed Higher Buzz for all of us,

after which we headed out to paddleboard and kayak because the solar was popping out. P sat on the entrance of my board, and Liv used her personal kayak! We have been out on the ocean for an hour, and noticed jellyfish, leaping fish, and two sting rays. It was wild!

(Swimsuit top and bottoms are here)

After paddleboarding, we went to Pacific Seashore for the remainder of the afternoon to swim and play within the waves. It’s humorous as a result of whereas we lived in San Diego, we prevented the seashores throughout vacation weekends as a result of they have been so busy. Now, we don’t care in any respect. We’re simply blissful to be there. 😉

Lunch was acai bowls in watermelons, salads, and low,

and dinner was at Melting Pot. We wandered round Gaslamp and since we didn’t have dinner reservations, Melting Pot appeared like it will be a enjoyable novelty choice. Liv ended up loving it, and P was NOT into it. She was like, “Why on earth do I’ve to cook dinner my very own meals… it is a restaurant?”

This specific meal wasn’t my fave, both. The entire expertise lasted means too lengthy (and the youngsters have been drained on the finish of the day) and the meals wasn’t nearly as good because it has been up to now. We used to adore it again within the day, however now, we’re not into poaching meat in a lukewarm pot lol. I’d return only for the dessert course, however every thing else was meh.

Sunday, we grabbed breakfast on the street:

(the chocolate acai bowl from Nekter is LIFE)

after which spent the day at LEGOLAND.

P loves all issues legos, so we wished to take her earlier than she was too previous, as a result of it’s positively geared in the direction of youthful children. All of us ended up having a blast. The rides have been tremendous cute and enjoyable, the meals was surprisingly superior, and we have been all blown away by the unimaginable Lego sculptures and mini cities.

We did the entire main rides, loved lunch, and walked round exploring. Dinner was Pizza Port within the lodge room, which was 10/10 as at all times.

Monday morning, we have been out on the water once more.

(Shorts, sports bra, and tank are right here. Livi’s jumpsuit is here. Additionally, I get a kick out of the truth that P can put on lululemon now)

This time, P and the Pilot did a tandem kayak, Liv had her personal, and I used to be on the SUP. It was the right solution to cap off our journey earlier than grabbing Nice Maple to-go and hitting the street. We noticed SO many canine out on paddle boards whereas we have been there, too. I have to take Maisey subsequent time!!

It was positively a visit for the books, despite the fact that it was a brief one, we made essentially the most of it. I hope you loved your Labor Day weekend, too!

TBH, I haven’t performed the most effective job fueling myself for the previous 5 months.
