Get-Away!

Grandma and Gramps watched the kiddos for Blake and I for a couple of days during the week so that we could get away. Blake had won a free one-night stay at the Palomar Hotel in downtown San Diego through his work, and since we fly for free we knew we needed to take advantage! We wanted to do it before the holidays hit, since it expired in February.

We actually flew into Los Angeles, rented a car, drove to Venice for some awesome Intelligentsia coffee and ate some to-die-for vegan food at Cafe Gratitude, then drove down the coast to San Diego. We stayed one night in San Diego visiting all of our favorite places and finding many new favorites, also. We spent much of the day at the beach, Balboa Park, and eating many more delicious foods. I had just hit the phase in my pregnancy where I had to be constantly eating in order to not be nauseous... actually I'm still there! However, I felt great as long as I was eating, so our vacation away was still very fun despite the sickness. :) We flew back late the second evening away. It was an awesome break away!
