The Resort

We visited San Diego, just Jamie and I almost 2 years ago.  Here is the link to our first visit (one of 3 posts, and I never did write about the zoo that trip). I have so many pictures to share, so the only way I think I can do it is to break it down. First, the resort, Paradise Point.

It is an island in itself. The grounds are amazing, the staff is so kind, and there are 5 pools, and a hot tub next to each pool!
We planned this vacation for this time of year because my school has fall break (which is Alice's school too, now, so we both had the days off), and because we decided that the kids are at the perfect age for a vacation. A real family vacation. No bottles, diapers, or naps needed. And it WAS perfect.
The resort is an incredible place that is just full of beauty and lots of things to do,

such as climb the watch tower,

climb the trees,

feed the ducks,

look at all of the animals in the lagoon (birds, fish, and turtles)

let the ducks run after you (because they think you have more food for them),

feed the fish at the marina (there were even sharks and stingrays!),

swim,

enjoy a cup of coffee outside each morning (they're pretending, I think)

HOWEVER, I learned to NEVER set your drink down by the seagulls! 

Oh yeah, he sure did steal my latte.  Can't you just here him saying "Mine. Mine," as he flew off with it! 

And at night, you can eat by the beach, watch the sunset, and dance

Sometimes,  we just found ourselves taking it all in. Just in awe of it all:

It was a great feeling, to be away from televisions, cell phones, and computers. To just spend time as a family in this beautiful place.

A place, I am SURE we will go back to.
