So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” </span><span style="background-color:white;line-height:18px;">― </span><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1654.Terry_Pratchett" style="line-height:18px;text-decoration:none;">Terry Pratchett</a><span style="background-color:white;line-height:18px;">, </span><i style="line-height:18px;"><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/2889659" style="text-decoration:none;">A Hat Full of Sky </a></i></span></div> <p><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br />This is one of my most favorite travel quotes. I feel this way every time I go somewhere and then come back. You just can’t get experiences in other places where you live, you can’t experience new people, new food, new things just staying at home. The travel bug bit me a long time ago and I’m not looking for a remedy for that bug bite! ;0)</span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/6e534-life-quotes-travel-is-the-only-thing-you-buy-that-makes-you-richer.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img decoding="async" border="0" height="266" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/6e534-life-quotes-travel-is-the-only-thing-you-buy-that-makes-you-richer.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div> <p><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br />Even though we had a wonderful trip, it is always good to come home. I missed my house, I missed my bed, I missed my daughter labradoodle… It is good to go and later it is good to return. And then do laundry. Lots and lots of laundry.</span><br /><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br />Our morning started off well, got our luggage together, checked out of the hotel and went to return our rental car. We got to the airport and checked in and then went for some breakfast. We could have eaten at the hotel but I always get a little nervous about returning rentals and having enough time for security, so we just decided to play it safe today. Once we got through security, we got some breakfast at this little cafe. I had looked online and there was a whole list of places in the airport to eat at, but of course Southwest had their own little private section of gates that had two places to eat haha actually I would say just one and half, because one was a kiosk. But it worked out and was fine, our tummies were full. It just wasn’t Einstein’s Bagels… yeah I might have been looking forward to that just a little bit! ;0) </span><br /><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br />P.S. – I didn’t know this but they told me at check in today that if you are pregnant and with a kid, you can preboard the flight, you just have to check in at the gate and tell them. The girl at the gate was a little reluctant but at 33 weeks prego with a feisty toddler, I didn’t want to fight the other mass of people trying to get seats on this plane like last time! So I was like uhh yes please! Just in case anyone didn’t know that!</span></p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/867d7-img_0121.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/867d7-img_0121.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;font-size:small;">Sporting some ninja turtle pjs today!

Then later he gave him a flame bar, which I have never seen before.

Apparently a ton of people arrived here over the weekend and were all standing in the waffle line this morning when we got there! So no waffles for little man this morning, but considering he has had like 3 this week, I think he is ok! He has been very concerned with our coffee this week, he always likes getting a taste from me, so this morning we got him his own (empty) coffee cup and he loved it.

It was about 20 minutes from our hotel. The aquarium had a lot of mixed reviews online again, just because it is a smaller aquarium. We enjoyed our time there though, spent about an hour and a half, which was perfect for the attention span of an almost two year old.

Traffic coming into La Jolla and leaving was pretty congested. We got back to the hotel and got little man to sleep. And he slept… and slept… for two and a half hours! I think I have thoroughly worn my kid out because very rarely does he take two hour plus naps two days in a row! Wat?! So by the time he woke up, it was too late to go to the Railroad museum in Balboa Park, which I had wanted to do earlier this week, so we headed over to Gaslamp Quarter to get some dinner. This is just another part of town that has tons of places to eat and cute little shops to walk in and out of.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/7905f-img_0093.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/7905f-img_0093.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;">When we got to the car, we realized we had a little visitor hehe!</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;">We went to a restaurant called Wereworlf for dinner and it was so good!

Tomorrow morning we fly back to Houston and hope and pray our child can get back to his normal schedule as soon as possible! We have loved our time here, there is so much to see and do and EAT. It is a super friendly town and so easy to navigate, with absolutely perfect weather. I really can’t say enough good things about this city. It will be fun to come back again when the boys are older and can do more. I feel like we had a good sampling of everything, but there was so much more that we could have done. I’m so glad that we took this trip before becoming a family of four, we made so many fun memories with each other and action Jackson that I will always remember!</span></div> <p></p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">723</post-id> </item> <item> <title>San Diego, CA Vaca – Day 6: Seminole church of Christ and North/South Park</title> <link>https://catchthecampbells.com/san-diego-ca-vaca-day-6-seminole-church-of-christ-and-northsouth-park/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2015 21:53:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Flying]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Homewood Suites]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Houston]]></category> <category><![CDATA[North Park]]></category> <category><![CDATA[San Diego]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Seminole Church of christ]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Southern California]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Daily Scoop on Juniper]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Toddler]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[URBN Coal Fired Pizza]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://catchthecampbells.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/san-diego-ca-vaca-day-6-seminole-church-of-christ-and-northsouth-park</guid> <description><![CDATA[After breakfast, we drove over to Seminole church of Christ for worship services.

Our hotel has been in a great location, everything we have done has been really close and hasn’t take more than 15-20 minutes max to get there. I had read mixed reviews about Old Town San Diego, some people think it is quaint or interesting, other people say it’s not worth your time. Well, I tend to lean to the more touristy side of traveling, Jacob and I like to go see things like this so we went! And it was free so who doesn’t love that?! Basically, they just have a bunch of little old buildings set up to model what San Diego was like in its beginnings. Some of the buildings are museums and some are shops. Parking was free, and there were a number of places to park, but some of the roads were blocked off because of construction around the park so that made it more difficult to navigate. I would definitely say this was not Jackson’s favorite day, I don’t know if I would even say he tolerated it haha. Unless he was out of the stroller walking around or trying to get past barriers in the museums, he wasn’t happy. We finally just let him run around the green area in the middle and he had a blast. Like I’ve said before, it’s the simple things, right?? :0)</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/7a745-img_1193.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="426" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/7a745-img_1193.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/77275-img_1151.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="266" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/77275-img_1151.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div> <p><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/fe1e2-img_1153.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="426" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/fe1e2-img_1153.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;">Center portion of the park</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/c1d58-img_1156.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="266" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/c1d58-img_1156.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;">This place had great root beer floats according to Yelp but lunch took longer than planned and we didn’t have a chance to go back for dessert. :0)</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/7b4eb-img_1161.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="266" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/7b4eb-img_1161.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#134f5c;font-family:inherit;">Visitor’s center – we got Jackson a little wooden truck here.

Like so sick that mommy got sick when she tried to get him and clean it up! Yay parenthood!! He has been fine since then but we just went back to the hotel and grabbed something quick and went to the laundry room haha… reality check, right?! So thankful he has been ok since then and SO SO thankful for a washer in the hotel!

At the lighthouse, there was a small museum off to the side, and there were rooms set up inside to model the living quarters of the families that maintained the lighthouse. It was really interesting.

I’m obsessed with traveling, I think if you’ve known me for ten minutes you can pick up on that, and even though it kind of makes me a wreck the day we fly I still have to go. This trip was honestly the most calm I have felt leaving, I wasn’t nervous at all, so I was kind of proud of that haha!</span><br /><span style="font-family:inherit;"><span style="color:#0b5394;"><br /></span><span style="color:#0b5394;">Jacob’s mom picked us up this morning and drove us to the airport for our 9 a.m. flight… of course there was a wreck on the high way but we were able to get around that and of course when we were parking we got behind the slowest person on the face of the planet going up to the 4th level (because seriously the other three were already full?? WAT?!) but we finally parked… and of course my suitcase was one pound over, so I had to move to something to Jacob’s (that makes it better to just displace the weight…) and of course I forgot to dump the water out of my bottle so they had to check it out and make sure the prego woman with a crazy toddler yelling, “out! out!” (he was in the stroller) didn’t have some master plan to take over/blow up the plane ect… We did get some yummy Dunkin Donuts breakfast sandwiches though without much of an issue, and then we go to board the plane… and Jackson acts as if he has never ever flown in his life (this is his 4th flight) much less gone anywhere with me in public by himself and starts screaming and flailing (I do not lie!) as if his little world is ending… (I am laughing now but at the time I was not!) So Jacob had stepped to the side to fold up our stroller and because people are NUTS when it comes to getting onto planes, about ten people got in-between us and that was just too much for little Jackson, who recently decided that Dada is the coolest person on the face of the planet and completely flipped out. So I’m wrangling this kid trying to get down the aisle and of course everyone is staring at us like, “please don’t sit by me….” but thankfully a nice Dad stood up and took my drink and bag so I could sit down with him and then people realized I was prego too and were like whoooaa… Jacob finally caught up to us and once Jackson got some Daddy snuggles he calmed down and the rest of the flight was perfect. We only spilt two drinks, one on me and one on the third seat companion winner (he has twins so he was like no worries) so I would call it a success, right? We got into San Diego early, got our bags, caught the shuttle to get the rental car (yes, you shuttle to rentals here! Be warned!), got the rental car and found a place to eat lunch thanks to the most awesome app in the world… yelp.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:inherit;"><span style="color:#0b5394;"><br /></span></span></p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/73bfa-img_9766.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="300" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/73bfa-img_9766.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;">Looking at planes before we boarded!</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/b1792-img_9770.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/b1792-img_9770.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div> <div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/00b8e-img_9771.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/00b8e-img_9771.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;">This kid is obsessed with breakfast sausage… for real.</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/0a669-img_9792.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="480" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/0a669-img_9792.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;">Post flight freak out… all smiles!</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/8fcdb-img_9793.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="480" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/8fcdb-img_9793.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;">Buuuut maybe I’ll do it again???

Luche Libra. 4.5 stars and over 4,000 reviews so it must be good, right? Y’all, this place made me want to put on a mask and jump in the ring for some smack down. The decor in the place was great, I wish I would have taken more pics, but the tacos and guac were even better! Loved the surf and turf tacos! And, a toddler’s dream… they had HOTDOGS! So of course we documented Jackson’s first Californian hotdog. (I know, I didn’t want to become a hotdog mom, I don’t really care for them but once your kid has one taste, there is no going back. Especially once they learn to request them.

We had yummy paninis, salads and pizza for the munchkin! They had the BEST gelato here too. The sweet girl working gave Jackson a taste and he kept asking for “mo!” haha she gave him about 3 samples I think! (Don’t worry Mom, half of mine was sugar free and I had a salad so I could save my pancreas prego problem carbs for dessert!)</span><br /><span style="font-family:inherit;"><span style="color:#0b5394;"><br /></span></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/93753-img_0674.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="266" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/93753-img_0674.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div> <p><span style="font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/2ced4-img_0677.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/2ced4-img_0677.jpg" width="266" /></span></a></div> <p><span style="font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/57223-img_9814.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="480" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/57223-img_9814.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div> <p><span style="font-family:inherit;"><span style="color:#0b5394;"><br /></span></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/de97d-img_9812.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/de97d-img_9812.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/a79c8-img_9823.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/a79c8-img_9823.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div> <p><span style="font-family:inherit;"><span style="color:#0b5394;"><br /></span></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/3c771-img_9825.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/3c771-img_9825.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div> <p><span style="font-family:inherit;"><span style="color:#0b5394;"><br /></span></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/43070-img_9827.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="400" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/43070-img_9827.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div> <p><span style="font-family:inherit;"><span style="color:#0b5394;"><br /></span></span></p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/3b8c7-img_9830.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><span style="color:black;font-family:inherit;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" height="640" src="https://catchthecampbells.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/3b8c7-img_9830.jpg" width="360" /></span></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;">You think he enjoyed himself?? haha…</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><span style="color:#0b5394;font-family:inherit;">After dinner, we stopped by the Trader Joe’s down the road from our hotel to get some milk for the Little Man!
