San Diego

We just got back from vacation in sunny San Diego.  I miss everything about the US!  Driving, uncrowded malls and stores, the pleasant weather, wide open grassy places, inexpensive local fresh organic produce.  HK is pretty cool too but I am super excited to be going back to the states.  But the best part of San Diego is seeing our friends and their little ones - some for the very first time (I'll save this for a different post)!  Our week in pictures:

Ethan loved looking at and chasing the ducks

There was a man who was able to balance all those rocks using only his hands.

Okay, the picture above is completely doctored.  I just couldn't get a non-blurry shot of Ethan in the foam house.

We also did a lot of playgrounds and even stopped by a Gymboree

No more pictures please!


But the number one thing that Ethan liked to do was just chill out and play in the front of a real (don't worry it was parked!) car. He snubs our golf cart back at home now. All in all the trip was great fun. Jet-lag was not. We did eventually co-sleep while on vacation, which is Bob's dream, but on the return Ethan missed his own crib so much he ran for it and started laughing when he got inside.
