San Diego February 2013

Grammie and Papa were out to visit again at the end of January and early February.  Pictures to follow from that visit!!  Towards the end of their stay in AZ, we took Jaaten to San Diego for some Jaaten (and her dinosaurs) time. ;))  Sometimes I feel like I'm always on Jaaten's time....love that Girl!!  We did all the regulars in San Diego.  The beach, visit Jarrod, Ashlee and Braxton, the zoo, the beach again, the boat, the beach again and again and face painting!!!
Jaaten LOVED the place we stayed because there were ducks, fish and talking birds on the property, right outside our door in fact.  Knowing Jaaten is knowing her life is content with these animals.  ;))  Every morning she would hear those birds talking to eachother from our room and say, "we need to go see the birds."  Jaaten must have asked us 10 times if the hotel room we were staying in was our new house.  Cute but never a mention of why the boys were not in "our new house."
This first picture was Jaaten when we pulled up to our hotel at 7p!!

It didn't take her long to realize where we were and why we were here!  So 7:15p we played in the sand!

The beach didn't last long that night though....dinosaurs needed to bathe!!

First thing the next morning we were on the sand again....

And this is how Jaafe does the beach...ON THE PHONE!!  

These next few pictures are outside of our hotel room and in the lobby area.  ;))

And then the beach...AGAIN!!

We took this boat through bay in downtown San Diego which was great.  It was a little chilly that day but it was still fun. ;))  We got right up close to the Midway, a couple really nice yachts and a ton a cool boats and navy base stuff!!  For those of you who know Jarrod, he knows a little bit about everything it seems so he makes for a great tour guide. ;)))

 This yacht is owned by some billionaire Russian guy that hardly ever uses it.  The boat has a fulltime crew of 40 people to clean and maintian it even while it sits here, parked.  Source of info:  Jarrod Wyss...lol

 This picture did not turn out as good as I had hoped but those 2 boats are navy seal boats (if I remember Jarrod's narration correctly).  They are jet black and super intimidating when they are whipping by!

The San Diego Zoo is a Jaaten Greer favorite!!  On Super Bowl Sunday morning we headed to the zoo.  Jaafe was such a sport to go because he was not feeling well but he came with us anyway.  We found out he had viral bronchitis when we got back to AZ. ;((  We had to get our face painted (she asked Jaafe and I to do it too but we are no fun!) and then sit and watch this little show about bugs!  Another of her favorites!!....bugs!!!  Ugh!

Bug presentation!!  Ugh!

This was Jaaten 5 minutes after we left the zoo...

 We spent the morning at the beach before we left to drive back to AZ.  ;))  Jaaten left one Happy Girl!!
