Daddy went down to San Diego last week for some work related stuff with the boys and I planning to head down Friday to meet him.
Friday morning looked like this:
Two kids in my bed while I got us packed and cleaned up to get out of town.
By some miracle the bags were packed, the kids were fed, the dishes were done and we were all dressed and loaded in the car in time to even hit the gym on our way out of town (while we waited for traffic to die down). Owen napped. Scott and I chatted and we made great time to La Jolla (where daddy was working).
We made it to daddy's hotel mid afternoon and enjoyed the views from his room for a few hours.
Grandma and Gpa were so nice to offer to fly down and meet us so that Brian and I could go out that night.
And you'll never guess where we went:
A little band called Rascal Flatts (again!) Brian has seen them more than he probably cares to, but this was only my second time (we went a year ago, another great date night)
This time Brian got to take me backstage
And a little meet and greet with the band (last year was more fun because we even got to take pictures with them, but this year was still awesome, they are seriously talented)
The opened with the "Race Car Song" as Scott calls it and it was a great show.

I got to meet a lot more of Brian's coworkers and agencies that he works closely with. It was nice to put faces with names and get a little glimpse of Brian's work life.
The next morning we headed to Sea World with Grandma and Gpa in tow.
We started the day with the Shamu show which the boys really liked.
Owen did lots of clapping and waving.
Every time one would jump out of the water Scott clapped. He gets very stoic when he is having fun, he had the most intense expression the whole day but definitely had a great time!
After Shamu we visited the sharks. This was probably the highlight of the day for Scott. He is still very much into animals (although you'd never know based on the amount of rescue bot and super hero play we do at home) and sharks are one of his favorites.
Going through the shark tunnel.
We may have run back up the moving sidewalk a couple times to repeat that part, we are crazy rebel rule breakers that way.
We saw a dolphin show after that, which I took zero pictures of, it was neat but by that point it was getting pretty hot out and we were all getting hungry, and it was the show that just wouldn't end. After some water, lunch and some shade we were ready to face the afternoon.
Scott in Brian in the polar bear cave. I told them to do a "bear face", Brian participated, Scott thought I was lame.

The boys at one of the shows.
We spent a solid half hour in the turtle exhibit. Indoors and air conditioned. Sign me up. Plus the boys really enjoyed it ; )
This nugget sayin' "cheeeeee". He knows how to ham it up these days.
Doin' a fish face. (Don't mind the white face. Hippie sun screen doesn't rub in, or so I've been told.)
Owen fell asleep for the last hour or so and then we wrapped it up and headed home. Special thanks to Grandma and Gpa for meeting us in San Diego for the weekend and joining in on all the fun! And of course Farmers, love us some free concerts, thanks for working hard babe, I love reaping the benefits ; )
