We got to our hotel around four and drove to Coronado Island. The beach was beautiful and it was fun to experience Elliot's first time at the beach. We walked around the island and ate at a taco shop. Walking back to our car the sun was setting on the beach. So beautiful.
Driving home we were rear ended by a large lifted dodge truck. The other driver turned out to be a nice guy and admitted fault. We will be taking the car in for repairs soon. It wasn't a terrible accident but i was still pretty shaken up. We were also on the side of the freeway after the accident, and i hated the feel of the cars whizzing past us. I had never been in an accident before, I'm so glad Elliot was ok, he slept through it!
On our second day in San Diego, we went to old Town San Diego. First we visited the new Mormon Battalion Museum. They have a fun multi-media presentation that the sister missionaries (dressed in pioneer clothes) give you. They take you different rooms and play interacitve videos to tell the story of the trek the mormon batallion made from Nauvoo to San Diego. They take your picture and give you a free copy. Then they take you to a courtyard and they have lots of fun activities for families like panning for Gold, brick making (not really), and stick horses. They also have a tower you can take up and you can see all of old town with binoculars. Way cool.
There are a lot of cool free things you can do in Old Town. We went to some historical houses and shops and then ate some more mexican food, our favorite!
We went to mission beach after we got back from Old Town, and then ate at olive garden with a gift card we got for Christmas.
Sharing an anniversary with a baby is not too bad, we had a lot of fun with him! He also slept really good on this trip. Hopefully he will continue to get better as time goes on. Usually he crys for hours and hours.
Happy five years to us!
