So we woke up on Friday morning with Meg with us now!
She got to their house super late like we did Thursday night {on top of them loosing her luggage!} so she went straight to bed too!
So Friday we hit the Cabrillo National Monument. It was super cool to see the 'founding father of San Diego' and where they first stepped on the ground! It was also neat to see all of the Navy base things and helicopters and submarines going around. You could see Mexico from here and it was neat to see the 'shadows of Mexico!'
This was amazing! I have been to Arlington National Cementary in Washington before but this was just even more amazing. I would have loved to know how many there were. It went as far as you could see on all sides!
These had the perfect view directly looking over the ocean. We all said that all of these people must have really done something special to get to have these spots!!
Just beautiful!
We also headed to downtown San Diego because Margie had a meeting with her boss. So us three hit the shops and had a great time hanging out with each other and exploring and eating lunch. I laughed so hard with these two!! Super fun!
After Margie was done, we left and headed to Imperial Beach for a farmers market. The market was a bust but this place was soooo pretty!
Us girls!
We walked out onto the HUGE boardwalk they just kept going and going!
And...in the shadows.....is Mexico!
After that, we hit Belmont park. From the top of the roller coaster you could see the ocean and waves. It was like you were on the coaster over the water! It was SO fun but BOY it was a rough wooden fast coaster! Whew!
Ready to go! I made the announcement that 'Whoever is the first to put their hands down is a big weenie!' WELL....needless to say, that was me! Next was Margie, then Meg! Mallory kept her hands up the WHOLE time! I dont know how she did it! She said she doesnt know how she did it either!
After this we came back to their house and cleaned up and met Blake for us to go eat dinner! Pacific Beach has a huge boardwalk that people walk, bike, roller skate on and it was super fun to people watch while we were waiting on our food!
Our crew for dinner!
After dinner we hit this GREAT gem! To say my cookie and ice cream sandwich was bigger than my hand is an understatement! It was huge and SO good!
Saturday morning I woke up to this picture from Tyler!! Alexis lost a tooth while I was gone! To top it all off, Tyler pulled it!!! I think he was super proud of himself because he hasnt pulled on of hers. He has only wanted me to do it! :)
We decided to conquer THIS on our last day! It doesnt look that painful...............just looking at it was not bad....until we did it! OH ME!
Ready to go! We had NO idea what we were in for!!
This was soooooooo painful! :) The hike was STRAIGHT up this mountain! No flat area...just straight up hills!
It was tough......the higher we got, it was harder to breathe because of the elevation {not the heat because remember no humidity so it wasnt terribly hot} During this picture...I was just glad my legs hadnt fallen off and that I wasnt passed out on the ground! :) :) :)
The view was unbelievable!!
AND I DID IT! WHOOO HOO!! So worth it once we made it to the top! Me and Potato Chip Rock! :)
LOVE! :) :)
We all were dying for food after our 4 hour hike {it was just as bad going down as it was going up because we were going straight down!!} so we went to IN & OUT Burger! {Remember last time I went to Cali, I had it, well I had to HAVE it again! YUM!} before hitting the beach for the rest of the afternoon! It was great! Toes in the sand and breeze in my face!
That night we did this!
On the bay they have these fire pits set up {we made our own} and you can sit around and do smores. Then at 10 pm, they had the best fireworks! It was the best thing to cap off our fun trip!
{I have always seen on movies, etc that people do bonfires on the beach and always thought they were crazy....because they were on the beach and it had to be HOTTTT there and so WHY would they want to be on a beach with a fire!?!!?!?! Well, it gets actually chilly at night and it was just the perfect weather for a bonfire!} :)
Sunday morning we headed back home! We had to connect in Las Vegas so we thought we were cool to be in Vegas...............even though it was only for an hour! haha!
