San Diego and Friends

We made our usual trip to San Diego over Memorial Day weekend. This year our friends, Joel and Jess, met us there. We ran a few errands before we picked them up at the airport. I headed to Target. Like most cities, San Diego is a little cramped for space. Even the Target was two stories. Some of my other friends had told me about a two story Target with escalators just for the carts. It was fun to see one for myself.

We hung out at the hotel, a cute little place on Coronado, for the first night. Those are always my favorite nights, catching up and sharing stories. :) The next morning we walked around Coronado. It was a little cloudy in the morning, but it was still gorgeous.

We ended our walk at the Hotel Del.

I love seeing what the Sandcastle man creates!

We set up camp and enjoyed the beach.

We played a little sand volleyball and Matt found a couple guys he could play football with.

Our friend Jordan is hanging out in California for part of the summer. He drove down to hang out with us at the beach. 

The next morning we went to Balboa Park. I love seeing the architecture!

Matt made a wish into the wishing well.

Since we saw a steeple, Matt thought it was appropriate to sing "Here's the church, here's the steeple, open it up and see all the people."

But we did get one good picture!

We took a walk and found this cool tree.

Matt and Joel decided to play chicken atop some tree stumps.

They were having an international food festival along with some performances on the square.

They were also getting ready for a concert at the largest outdoor pipe organ.

We headed up the coast to La Jolla, our all time favorite place. We enjoyed watching the sea lions.

It was slightly chilly, mostly beautiful day.

We had such a great weekend with food, fun, friends, and the beach!
