Cabrillo National Monument

Chiki & I wanted to take the ladies, somewhere to check out some tide pools.  Since there are only two areas within the San Diego area that has them,  we headed to the one place we hadn't been ... Cabrillo National Park.   

The park is located on Point Loma, and costs only $5 to enter and has some of the most stunning views of the city, but if you are looking for a great place with the kiddos  ... this is not the place for you.  Unfortunately the tide pools were closed and so all that was left, was to hike around and read about the history of the area.  And for those of you who have kids, know just how enjoyable and relaxing that can be.  Sarcasm ... much, much sarcasm.

We easily entertain ourselves

The scenery

Since we were already in the car and 2 of the 3 chill in's had a stuffy nose, we decided to continue our drive around the south end of the county.  And that is how we ended up here:

All I can say is OOPS.  Enough said.

And then here: we met up with an old friend of Chiki's from the Navy 

"Fernando"

Man, us Carbajal's are productive.  Stuffy noses and all ha ha.  

Grandpa & Grandma Come For A Visit

Finally, some visitors!  In September, my parents decided to venture our way.  Not only were we super excited to see them, but also ... it gave us another excuse to play tourist.  They were out here for an entire week, and so we were able to pack quite a bit in.  

First on the agenda: the San Diego Zoo

 We saw some crazy looking animals

And then, we saw some animals that looked a little more familiar

Second on the agenda ... Sea World

 We also did a little walking around, on Coronado Island

We took a stroll around the LDS Temple

And down the boardwalk 

We dined ...
At the beach

In Old Town.  Viva la Mexico!

And at the Poseidon in Del Mar
(look how curly gma's hair got while out here!)

Party on Gma & Gpa!  We had a GREAT time!!
