Moto Mom Life

This weekend was so much fun!!! WE had a blast I tell you. Flying wasn’t the best but other then that it was great. Little man was such a champ on the planes I was really impressed with him. Thursday morning, we took off out of Oakland. We then had to take a same place from LAX into San Diego. O.K NEVER AGAIN will we do that. It was so not fun. I was very proud of myself for getting onto the small plane but man I was not thrilled by that one. It had propellers. The ride wasn’t as bad as I had thought but still not a happy camper. Anyway, when we got there, we went to pick up the rental car, this was so darn funny. They tried to put us into a really small economy car. Talk about a Clown car type situation. The guy that brought us the car seat finally felt so bad for us that he upgraded us for free. They gave us a bright red Toyota Matrix. This was nice because it had a hatch back and allowed us to put all of the luggage into the car not just part of it. We were thinking that we may have to make two trips to get everything that’s how small the first car was. 
  
When we got to the hotel it was still a few hrs. from check in so we went and had lunch at this great local cafe I love San Diego cus you can sit outside and eat and watch all of the people it was great! Little man loved it. He asked us about every single bird, plant, car and person was!, Whatz dat? 
  
We finally got checked into our hotel and Mikey headed out to the beach to surf and Mena and I took bug to the pool. Oh he loved that. He splashed and laughed I knew he liked the water but wow he was a little duck J After a while it started to cool off so we headed back upstairs took a nap and then got ready to go out and get some food. We wanted to grab dinner early so that we could come back and get to bed.  O.K so the best restaurant ever in San Diego! Fat Boys Pizza with the motto! Surfers make the best pizza! O.K how could you go wrong at a place like that. It was wonderful we each ordered a, SLICE for $2.50 and a slice of pizza from Fat Boys was the size, (I am not exaggerating here) of a medium pizza! I was so shocked at how big they were. And it was soooo good!!! We all had more then our fill of pizza that night. With full bellies, including Nik, we waddled back to the hotel and all fell fast asleep. 
  
The next morning we got up early and went to the San Diego Wild animal park. That place is so cool!! I had never been to it and Mike has been telling me for year how wonderful it was. WOW I was so impressed. There are so many animals to see there and the layout for all of them is wonderful. They have plenty of room to roam around and interact. It was amazing. Again Bug was just so overwhelmed. Everything was, Whatz dat? and every time you told him what something was he would ask again, Whatz dat? to make sure you repeated it.  Oh yeah and this is where we found Kitty. Kitty is the newest member of the Thompson clan. Kitty is a little stuffed leopard. Nik walked right up to it grabbed it off the shelf and said, Kitty, and then gave it a kiss and a hug.  O.K, I have to admit if it would have been an $800.00 item I still would have got it for him. He was so darn cute with it and he had not put it down since we got it. But thank the lord it was only a $12.00 item. I still can get over how cut it is. I will have to get pictures of it. 
  
The next day we headed over to Sea World. This was another wonderful place that Mike had been dying to take me but I never wanted to go. We also had a wonderful time. Nik just loved it. He really loved the fish and the dolphins. He asked what everything was yet again and even mimicked a few of the words that we said. It was just to much fun I tell you. 
  
The only bummer with the whole trip was the fact that we lost the digital camera. I was so bummed about that. All of the pictures are gone L But there is nothing I can do so! We will have to just go back down there and get more pictures.
