our stay-cation...

we didnt plan a va-cation for presidents day weekend... so we had ourselves a great stay-cation...

dont make fun... after you read about all our fun you are gonna wish you came with us...

 

we saw gnomeo and juliet... which was super cute... i love shakespeare and i loved that they made it fun for kids... 

but... 

spoiler alert...

at the end when one is led to believe that gnomeo and juliet are dead, like in real shakespeare, jones was practically in tears... asking every second where they were and if they were ok... his face was SO sad... luckily they survive and then he was ok... i have never seen him that worried...  he is so tender hearted...

 

we stayed the night in a hotel in la jolla...

and jones thought he was the king...

he had his own bed... and owned it...

we went swimming... twice...

he took three baths...

he ran around naked, drew pictures on the hotel paper, watched tv, ate oreos and strawberries for breakfast...

 then we all went to la jolla cove...

i love it there... so beautiful...

in the distance... childrens beach...

however the beach is no longer used by children... but seals... those arent rocks...

loved this quote in the wall...

and loved that we got to try smashburger... i love boneless buffalo wings... they had a chicken sandwich that was exactly that... chicken, sauce, blue cheese and some other yumm stuff on a bun... not a fan of brents lime malt... but did like the rosemary smashburger fries...

then played frisbee...

then base (little) ball...

then base (BIG) ball...

 one of my favorite moments... when some little spanish speaking girls came up to him and said... podemos jugar???  he was so sweet and shared so well... but the best part... as they played frisbee together... he would call them by the color of their shirts... thus...

"hey, blue one... get it... over there"

or

"the purple one is fast!!"

or

"careful not to hit the birds..."

random... he was so worried about hitting the birds...

then some trick frisbee...

and a perfect end to a perfect day... some sprinkles cupcakes...

i finally got to go to the la jolla store and see the end of the line... we still waited for the twenty people in front of us... but at least the line wasnt out the door, around the corner and longer than the eye could see...

new favorite... coconut... YUM!!!
