My First Trip to S.D.

I went to San Diego on Chinese New Year and also Valentine's day with Mommy, Daddy, grandpa and grandma . I love S.D., a lovely So-Cal sunny beach city.

First, we visited Balboa Park. It is the biggest park I've ever seen during my life, even that's only 5 months. There are a bunch of old-style fancy buildings with lots of flower or curve-shaped decorations on exterior walls. Those buildings currently serve as museums. We also saw a cactus sale in a courtyard of one building, where I found a lot lot of BABY cactus on sale. They are just as cute as me :D I also saw many dogs in the park. There was one garden where there was so many flowers. I try to grab them, but daddy kept holding me back.


After the Balboa Park, we drove all the way to Mexico!! Actually, just to the Mexico/USA border, which was only 30 minute drive. Grandma and grandpa really liked the border, but I didn't get to go see it. I stayed in the car and played with Mommy. We then drove up to Coronado, which is a large piece of land in the San Diego bay, but it is not an island. Its connected with a narrow land-bridge. While there, we got to see some SUPER fancy houses, a SUPER fancy hotel, and a SUPER fancy sunset.

For dinner that night, we met my Uncle Steve for a nice dinner at the restaurant in his hotel. Daddy got a big discount, so he decided to splurge and have us enjoy a nice meal. Unfortunately I didn't get to eat any :P When we got to the room of the hotel, I didn't want this fun day to end, so I cried for almost an hour. I guess that didn't make my Mommy and Daddy want to take me out again, so I gave up and went to sleep.

The next day was also very fun. We started out trying to walk to the cliffs near our hotel, but the golf course was in the way, and there was no way to walk around it. So, we just headed out to see my Uncle Steve at his house, and this is where I met Steve's family. I guess this is the third time I met them, but I can't remember the first. My Daddy told me that it was at my friend Elana's birthday party, but I can't remember who she is either... hopefully I'll meet her again soon. Steve's family was very cool. Quincy is his oldest son with lots of crazy curly hairs, and he is very tall compare to me. He's only 4 years old, but he was jumping and rolling and doing so many fun things. Aiden is his youngest son with beautiful blue eyes, and he was very curious about me. He watched me a lot, but he didn't ask me any questions. But I can forgive him since he is only 1.5 years old. We got to play with a fun toy that would throw balls in the air. I could not figure out how it worked though. Hopefully I can go back there and play with it some more.

After that, we all went to a big ship with a bunch of cool airplanes on it. I guess this is called an aircraft carrier. I have never seen such a big thing. We walked around for almost 4 hours and I never got upset. At the end of that trip, I was so tired that I just fell asleep. The drive home was very relaxing, and I slept all the way home. This was one of my favorite trips that I've been on, and I hope I can come back soon to visit Uncle Steve and see more beautiful things in San Diego.
