(we know some dogs that would have loved this, back in their puppy days)

Children's Park and Promenade

After walking to breakfast, we walked down by the waterfront and checked out the Children's Park and the walkway.  CJ was excited to finally have a chance to play and she loved looking at the trains as they passed.  We even found a farmer's market on our way back to the hotel.

Mouseka Breakfast

We found a yummy place for breakfast in San Diego, guess it is award-winning.  Even made a free Mickey Mouse pancake for CJ.  Totally worth the 20 minute wait.

CIty Views

CJ was only allowed on the roof of the hotel when the bar up there was not open.  So we went up Sunday morning, but the clouds hadn't parted for sun yet.  Still a great view of Petco Park before the game started (we'll have to do that some day - the San Diego weather is perfect for a baseball game).

San Diego Searching

We spent the day looking around San Diego.  Had breakfast at a nice cafe, across the street from a park.  Drove around the city and checked out the different neighborhoods.  Went around Balboa Park several times.  Someday we'll come back and stop to visit the zoo.  CJ was worn out and even fell asleep in the car a couple of times.  Hopefully we'll get to do something fun tomorrow before we head home.

Seasoned Traveler

We left the rain in Portland behind and headed down to meet Daddy in sunny San Diego.

CJ is an old pro at traveling now:

So is Truffle, who joined us for the trip:

Zoo Studies

Mama joined CJ's class for a field trip to the zoo.  

The little scientists were going to study the animals.  

They were wondering about their brains.  

Do they have feelings?

What about dreams?

CJ studied hard and made lots of notes about her observations.
