Time for a Get Away: California

In January 2008 (just after we found out we were pregnant with Angelia), Travis and I went on a vacation to San Diego, California. Our main reason for choosing California as our destination was to visit his brother, Jared. And there's nothing like getting a break from the cold Kansas winters to visit some place warm!

How we saved $$$:

• Booked our flights, hotel and rental car with Price Line.
• Spent a few nights at Jared's apartment. (Try to visit places where you have friends or family.)
• Bought groceries and prepared some of our meals instead of eating out the entire trip.

How to make the most of your trip:

• Plan ahead. (Ask those accompanying you for their input.)
• Research the local attractions. 
• Make necessary reservations prior your departure.

Key Note: the more you plan, research and prepare before your trip... the more FUN and RELAXING your trip will be!

       

      

  

What we did to enjoy our time in Southern CA:

• Hiking
• Surfing
• Rode beach cruisers and roller blades on the board walk
• Spent time on the beach
• San Diego Zoo
• Sea World
• Toured a public garden
• Tried new restaurants with fresh sea food!
• etc.
