San Diego with Jesse and Eileen

We were able to take our long planned trip to San Diego with Jesse and Eileen over the holiday weekend... and also celebrated our first weekend away from Spencer since he was born, thanks to the generous babysitting of Susan and Jim!

 Our favorite memories include: Hiking Torrey Pines, eating at a restaurant that only serves food from 33 degrees latitude, eating at the Guild with the "artists, artisans, and architects of San Diego," cooling down in the fountain at Balboa Park, joining the holiday weekend partiers on Pacific Beach with "forties" of Tecate, enjoying warm ocean water and perfect PB sunsets, screaming on the wooden roller coaster in Mission Beach, drinks at the Del, night-time activity at the Zoo, the valiant search for tikki on Shelter Island, watching Jesse get work done in all sorts of unlikely locations, meting Melinda for the first time, and having Spencer spend some time with great-grandma Pinky.
