We pretty much stayed within a five mile radius of the airport this trip thanks to the pretty sweet hotel we stayed at.
We stayed in mission bay which is where we used to go when i went to the beach as a kid. The beach and bay are separated by a board walk so both are really easy to get to depending on what you want.
The weather was mostly good with a lot of Classic San Diego "marine layer" in the mornings. We took lots of walks, went in the pool and played in the sand. I rented a sand up Paddleboard and rode it with a friend's son. We geocached our hearts out.
(Continuing this post from my pumping station on Tuesday. I can't tell you guys how many drafts I have stuck in limbo because I write them stating I am somewhere and then don't finish and don't know whether to revise)
Being in sd always makes me wistful of the life I imagine for myself and now my family. It is just so strange that we most likely won't be beach people. That Andrew's summers won't be loitering by the pool and frantically searching for his flip flops when he hears the ice cream man so his feet don't burn while he waits in line.
It is a true, if small, sadness for me. One not strong enough at the moment to make me want to change our life but real enough for me to feel the pull.
So visits suffice for now. I cram as much (real, San Diego) Mexican food down our gullets as we can manage. I try to see all of the fun landmarks and destinations which, in truth if I lived there, I'd probably be too busy living to go see. And when I get home I refer to "taquitos" as rolled tacos like god intended and try to keep myself from dropping "the" from freeway names.
Next time we go for long enough I am looking into condo rentals. The locations are awesome and Andrew isn't the best Roomie.

I hear you! I have similar pangs of homesickness for Seattle on a regular basis. Fortunately, the gray, drizzly skies don't hold the same lure as the BEACH! Love the plan to get a condo next time... :)
