We had the opportunity to go to San Diego at the end of the summer. The Broadheads were going to be there for a week and invited us to come down and hang out with them. It's pretty sad how close we are to the beach and how very few times we've actually taken the kids and gone. It seems like life takes over so often but as HOT as it gets here in the summer, we need to take advantage how close we are and how beautiful it is at the beach. The weather wasn't what I was hoping for, but we definitely made the best of it. The kids didn't care at all.....they had a wonderful time and we had so much fun with the Broadheads. What a great family and Avery loved hanging out with all the kids, but especially Ty. The kids collected all sorts of shells, Avery dug around in the sand, the kids and Cody went out on the boogie board and we just hung out!! It was wonderful. The Broadheads fixed us a wonderful dinner and we had smores out in their firepit. It was a much-needed break for us and we're definitely going to do some planning for next summer.
We stayed in a really cool hotel in downtown San Diego. It was a Marriott (thanks Dean & Dayna) and it was converted from an old bank. One of the guys who worked there, took us on a tour and showed us the vault in the basement, told us about the shooting gallery because it was open in the 1930's when all of the bank robberies were happening around the country so the tellers had to be prepared to defend themselves and the bank. The kids had a great time and we opted for a late checkout and had room service so we could enjoy our mini-vacation. We spent another day at the beach and then went over to watch a surfing competition on the simulators and went on a few rides and had a great time. Thanks for taking such good care of us, Broadheads. It was so fun hanging out with you.....hope we can do it again next year! :)
