Oh San Diego how we love you! You see, San Diego is where JD and I met (even though we went to the same High School and for a short time he lived across the street from my parents). San Diego is where we spent 2 of the best years of our lives. Not a care in the world, partying with friends and falling in love! It had been close to 4 years since we had been back to SD and we still have a lot of friends there, so off we went with two kiddos in tow! We decided to fly, since a 8 hour drive with a 3 year old and a 11 month old did not sound appealing to us! Boy was Cole excited! He was full of questions and wonder as we approached the airport! As we made our way up to our gate the first glimpse of a Southwest Airplane landing, could of been the best thing he has ever seen! He could of stood at that window for hours watching the planes land and take off. We made sure we got there 3 hours early (he he) so he could do just that! Charly of course, had no idea what was going on but went along with brothers excitement and starred out the window with him clapping and laughing! The plane ride was a breeze for Cole, he got to go up into the cock pit and meet the pilots and sat perfectly in his seat and watched the glimmer of lights from below. Charly on the other hand was a nightmare the first 30 minutes of the plane ride (I chalk that up to not feeling well as the plan ride home was much better). We finally laid her down on the seat with blankie and her bunny and she was out! It is only a hour and forty minute flight, so we survived! Our beach house was super cute and comfy and perfect for us. Every morning we just relaxed and enjoyed being with eachother. We made it to the zoo, dinner at our good friends restaurant, dinner out with all of our old friends and their kiddos at Woodstocks Pizza in PB, playing on the Bay and at the ocean, a SDSU football game, snuggling by the fire as our power was at the last night and just enjoying being a family. I will say it is much different from when we were 22 and 24, partying till all hours of the night with our friends. Now we had a few pitchers of beer at dinner and then home and asleep by 10:00. We reminisced about those good old days but looked forward to our future with our kiddos and keeping lasting friendship with our friends in SD. Our trip home was smooth and now we are back to the swing of things on the homestead! Still waiting to hear on the offer we have on a house in El Dorado Hills and getting ready for more family fun in Pismo Beach in two weeks! Life in the Pratt House is pretty darn good.
