San Diego, day 2

We stayed over night in San Diego, which was a smart decision because we all crashed after a day at Sea World.
The next morning, Ben and I ran together.  We may live close to the ocean, but I don't get to run by it often and when I do, it's my favorite!


Before we checked out of the hotel, we spent some time in the pool. Colin thought it was hilarious that he could carry my legs.


 

 Then we went to the beach to look for sea glass.  Alison has really been into collecting it and we read online that the Del Mar beach was a prime place...we didn't find any, but it was a fun adventure.


 

On the way home, we stopped in Santa Monica.  We've never been, so it was fun to check it off our list.  

 

First stop was dinner in downtown.


Then we went to the pier.  Colin didn't want what everyone else had...I can't remember what it was called, but it was basically giant sushi, so he got a hot dog on the pier.





It was pretty busy, and that was on a regular Tuesday night, so I can only imagine what this place is like during peak summer days.  I'm glad we went, but wasn't overly wowed by it.


I think Ben was the most wowed by all the super fancy cars EVERYWHERE.  It's definitely a different experience living in an area where celebrities live.

I've said it before, the ocean is definitely my happy place--even if it's crowded and touristy. I've only been to Santa Monica once, it was for dinner, and thought it was lovely. But that's because of the ocean :)
