We managed to pull off another cousin visit to San Diego, despite navigating multiple teen schedules! It was shorter than we would have liked, but we are appreciative of any time we get together!
My crew and I arrived a couple of days ahead of the Needhams, so we met up with Jen and her girls in La Jolla. It was a gorgeous day, and we even got up close and personal with some sea lions.
The next day we headed down to Seaport Village for lunch, and then checked out the Waterfront Park for some fun in the fountains. The kids started up a round of “Red light, green light” with several other kids, which was really fun to watch.
The Needhams arrived that evening, so the next morning we made what turned out to be our only trip to the beach. Fortunately it was a good one, so my brood got in lots of QT in the ocean.
We kept things cruising with our pilgrimage to Old Town the following day, which included lunch and the annual Cousins Candy photo - before Nicole got sick and they had to make a hasty departure while the rest of us went to UTC for shopping and to watch The Lion King.
Side note: We were excited that Maya joined the Needhams this year - we loved meeting her!
Saturday wound up pretty slow, as not everyone was feeling great in the morning and we decided the beach was a bit ambitious. We ended up doing lunch at Z Cafe, and then I took the kids to an escape room. We failed, the guy running it was weird...but we still had fun!
The kids also managed to film another movie, “The Jester’s Final Joke,” which was fun and hilarious to watch. We had several wonderful meals on the patio, too, which is always a highlight. As always, I left feeling blessed!
