San to the Diego

Russ's cousin Aly got married in San Diego (and what a gorgeous wedding that was!), so we decided to make a trip of it and stayed 3-4 extra days. We rented a little house close to the beach and spent our days taking it easy and doing whatever we wanted. The family time was just what we needed.

San Elijo Lagoon. Max was a fan. 

Hotel Del Coronado. Best beach ever! Someday I will stay in that beautiful hotel and not just bum off the perfectly manicured beach. 

Obivously Clara was also a fan (haha!!!). Should I be concerned she already knows how to post up on the beach like this?!?

Deep conversations in front of the hotel. 

Clara LOVED the beach. Loved loved loved it. She also loved getting in and out of the hole her and Russ built, but once Russ started putting sand back in the hole and "burying her" she made it known that she was no longer a fan. 

I have been told Clara has the perfect cartoon-style crying face. We have lots of these pictures. :)

If I had to push a stroller on the beach to get babies to sleep every day I would not be sad. 

This girl and her zebra melt my heart every day. Also, the humidity of San Diego made her hair even more amazing. (I seriously didn't comb it the whole time). 

This goofy, sweet boy also has my heart. 

Sand everywhere. Double Bob for the win. 

Max is a hardcore Daddy fan, but how could you not be?!

 

Water shoes left to dry. Not a bad life. 

Thank you San Diego for a great time. We will be back.
