Babymoon and Baby BOY!


      Over Memorial Day weekend we had  a lot going on!  Friday was our anatomy scan and gender reveal for our little one, we had an early appointment so we didn't have to wait all day, by 9:30am we knew we were expecting a baby BOY!  There was a big smile across Brian's face when he saw the parts that confirm the gender and tears came to my eyes, knowing the gender makes it all the more real that there is a little one growing in side of me.  How excited we are to be parents to this little guy!  Now there are so many things to do, pick a name, register, set up the nursery....but first was our babymoon!




                                                  We headed off to San Diego for the weekend to spend some time together and it was some much needed time!  The drive out there was fun, but when we got to town we had even more fun!  Day one included a wonderful breakfast in La Jolla called The Cottage, I would highly recommend this place especially for the homemade scones!  Next a visit to Sea World, we made sure to see all the shows, I would highly recommend to Cirque Du Sole show and of course you have to see Shamu!  Walking around in the beautiful weather all day was so enjoyable, we saw all the exhibits from dolphins, to sea lions and even a kangaroo!  Oh the memories being at Sea World brought back being a little girl going with my daddy and having such a good time with all the marine life and shows!  When we were ready for the night time Shamu show I had to go grab a hot cocoa just like dad always got for us!


 Day two we spent the morning hanging out at the hotel, Brian wasn't feeling too well so we let him rest a bit before heading out!  Our first stop was at the San Diego Zoo, which was quite a treat!  We saw everything here from Polar Bears and Penguins to Monkeys and Lions!  The zoo really does have a lot to offer with the sky tour and the guided bus tour that both come free with your ticket so we had to check them out!  Also, we found a pretty good place to eat within the Elephant Odyssey, not just hot dogs here!  There is a set time where you can feed the Giraffes which had two new babies in the exhibit and there are behind the scene tours to take as well.  Once we were worn out at the zoo we headed to Il Fornaio for some yummy Italian food and a beautiful sunset, sit on the terrace :)

Day three we decided to head home and grab some breakfast on the way out, we found a yummy place near the zoo called Park House Eatery, another delicious breakfast spot with homemade white bread and preserves, Brian's pancakes were huge and delicious and my eggs, toast, bacon and get this mashed potatoes was amazing!  Who would have thought of mashed potatoes for breakfast but there were just perfect!  After the long drive home we ran off to register for our baby BOY!  Brian was so excited to check out all the baby must haves and cool items......and that was our babymoon!!!
