4th of July

We spent our 4th in San Diego this year. Flew in on the 3rd after a long day of traveling and a 3 hour difference. Checked into our Days Inn in Encinitas (Reyn officially felt like a "dad" checking his family into a hotel late night while his family waited in the car). Put Poppy to sleep in the bathroom of the hotel. And enjoyed a free breakfast.

The 4th we drove around San Diego. Tried to find the seals in La Jolla and when we finally did, Poppy was conked out in the back. We found an amazing playground in Encinitas right on the beach and played there for a little. We then made our way to a country club with our friend...who's a member...and partied there for the rest of the night. I have to say, it was perfect with a kid. Plenty of room for her to run free and wild, they had a bouncy house that we all got in and acted like kids, a water balloon launch, and all the food you can think of. It was perfect.

I found out on this trip if you want Poppy to be your best friend, give her sugar. This is her with a huge peanut butter cookie. Would not give it up when I tried to break it into a smaller piece. I just kept telling myself, "she's on vacation, give her a break."

This is where she spent most of her time. Collecting the golf balls out of each hole and taking the poles out. Made a group of 8 year old golfers pretty upset. They even tried to through a ball to see if she would fetch it so she would leave.

End of the night after we kept her up a few hours past her bedtime. She had a blast.
