Stepping Out (4.16.11) San Diego "Stay-cation" Edition

This past Saturday was a special stepping out day for the entire fambam. We headed out of town for a long overdue "stay-cation". The destination for this weekend trip was Seaworld in San Diego and then a stay at Rancho San Barnardo Inn, about 30 minutes north of San Diego. Even though it was only for 2 nights, we jam-packed our trunk with everything but the kitchen sink. For those of you who have children, young children especially, like a preschooler and an infant, will totally understand why you would need so many damn things.

It was great family time, we had so much fun. This was Raffaella's first trip to Seaworld and she loved it. Her favorite was the Shamu show. We ended our 1st day at a nice resort. Super soft beds to rest our heads and a huge bathtub to wash all that sunscreen off. And it was a ton of sunscreen we used. The sun was blistering and it was hot hot hot that day. So it was nice to have a great place to rest at the end of the day. Oh, I have to mention that our 4 month old did awesome, he is like the most chill baby on this planet, he didn't have any issues whatsoever, he just goes along with everything. Raffaella did awesome during the day, but when we got to the hotel, she was really cranky, but I can't blame her, she was really overtired.

The next day, we had breakfast out on the patio overlooking the golf course, walked around the beautiful grounds, they had very lush landscaping, fountains everywhere, and then we headed to the pool. April is such a great time to travel, this place was seriously empty. We had the family pool to ourselves. We spent the better part of the morning there.

Then it was Monday, the weather a bit chilly and dreary, and it even drizzled a little on our drive home. So glad that we had great weather all weekend. I hate when vacations end, but it always feels good to be home sweet home. Until next time....

Here is the a picture of our outfits, totally forgot to take a better pic of us, but we needed to leave early and we were already running late.
