Pacific Beach

 After a long 6 hour drive from Vegas to San Diego we checked in to the Comfort Inn and Suite Sea World. Our rooms were not ready so we enjoyed some complimentary lemonade and decided to go to Old Town San Diego to get some lunch.

Old Town is a fun historic part of San Diego, they have a bunch of fun shops and Mexican places to eat.

Every so often Lincoln would stop and say "Mom take my picture"

One of the local shop owners suggested we eat at Old Town Mexican Cafe.Talan and Jason are watching the ladies make tortillas. We later found out the Rachel Ray had done one of her shows at this restaurant. She said that these ladies make 7000 tortillas a day. Amazing!

 

Our food was traditional Mexican and everyone seemed to enjoy it. After we were stuffed we decided to explore Old Town some more.

The buildings are so neat and the shops have a lot of Mexican flair.

After lunch we took off for Pacific Beach, since the boys had never been to the ocean before. It was a late afternoon so we just wanted to walk on the beach, not swim. Lincoln loved the tracks that the Lifeguard's trucks left behind. He kept calling the them train tracks and had fun running down them pretending to be a train.

I should have known better as a mom, but the boys wanted to wade in the water and of course after the first wave they were soaking wet. Since we were on vaction we went with the flow took of their shirts and just let them enjoy the water. We were the only people full dressed but soaking wet. Who's from Utah?

Some guy was enjoying watching the boys in the ocean so much that he came over and asked if we would want a family photo on the beach. He thought it was so fun to watch them enjoying the sand and the ocean for the first time.

 Talan loved the ocean and building castles in the sand.

 Lincoln had so much fun just pushing the sand down this hill. He was covered from head to toe in sand.

 

I love the beach and wish that I lived closer to one. I find nothing more relaxing then the sound of the waves and the breeze coming in off the ocean.

After a fun afternoon at the beach Lincoln decided to take a little nap with his helicopter on the way back to the hotel.
