Colton and I drove out to San Diego on Thursday, May 23rd to go to my best friend's college graduation on Sunday. We decided this trip we would do something that we have never done before... which was to bring our dog Bella along with us. We stayed in a pet friendly hotel for dirt cheap and now I wish we could bring her on every trip!
Thursday:
We just checked into our hotel and went for a little walk to scope out the area!
The backside of out hotel was just green hills
Our room was pretty sweet, it had a full kitchen
Friday:
Friday morning I woke up super early and Colton did not. Haha! So I decided to take Bella on a "short walk" that turned into 5 miles. Then later, we went to the beach with Conger and her brother Tyler to watch them surf and just hang out. I think it was more entertaining for us to sit on the beach and watch them take surfing lessons.
She literally wanted to sniff every bush
Mmm :)
Conger and Tyler
Saturday:
Conger spent time with her family that got there Saturday morning so Colton and I had some time to spend together. Unfortunately, we had decided the previous day not to put sunscreen on and we were RED and not just like pink. We were "it hurts to even move" red. That meant we were staying somewhere indoors. We went and saw a double feature at a movie theater (Iron Man 3 and Fast 6), went shopping, ate some yummy food, then just went back to the hotel and played with Bella and watched t.v. There are no pictures from this day because we were both pretty miserable. Haha!
Sunday:
In the morning we went to the San Diego Zoo. I had never been before and I loved it! I can't wait to go back again :) After the zoo, we headed over to the University of San Diego to watch Brittany Conger graduate from college! After dinner, we all went to eat at Cheesecake Factory with Conger's family, her boyfriend and his dad. Conger's family feels like my second family just from spending so much time together over the years at her house or basketball functions. I love them all!
This monkey followed us around the entire area
I spy with my little eye... a baby panda!
Then we went to the University of San Diego to the graduation:
Monday we drove home, which is the worst part of any vacation. We had a blast being able to be there for Conger on her graduation day! Now she's on to bigger and better things and I'm so excited for her :) I'm glad I have a friend like her in my life. Everyone needs at least one best friend like her. I was also super excited to get to spend so much quality time with my amazing husband! We love new adventures and we were excited to explore a new place together. I couldn't imagine being married to anyone else! He's the best :)
