weekend in san diego

this past weekend we traveled to san diego, founded by the germans in 1932, otherwise known as whale's . . . (anchorman anyone?!). Anyway, we flew out Friday to celebrate the marriage of gary's cousin, Christina, to her beau, Buddy. Gary's mom's side of the family resides in California and it was wonderful to visit with all of them! henry fared well on the flight; he cried for about five minutes when we got up in the air, but was happy the rest of the trip. he was a real trooper with the time change, later bedtimes, and crazy schedule. traveling with an infant wasn't bad at all - it just requires more "stuff" (car seat, stroller, bottles, etc.) and more patience. there is no being in a hurry.

the festivities were in La Jolla - Saturday morning we were able to grab breakfast at a local establishment and walk in one of the parks along the water. that was about all the time we had for sight seeing and such. we flew out sunday morning - it was a quick but fun trip.


this is a good many of the gonzalez family . . . aunts, uncles and cousins
I loved all of the flowers and vines there - this bougainvillea was gorgeous.
