Vacation Part 3 - San Diego

After Disneyland we headed to catch the train to our final destination, San Diego. We decided to walk to the train station to get some excerise... it turned out to be about a 2 mile walk which would've been nice had we not had all of our luggage and the route was a six-lane, busy freeway. We made it and Benjamin LOVED everything about the train and the tracks and the station.

On the way we spotted Benjamin's namesake :) Marty's grandfather or a Gentlemen's club in Anaheim??

Josie did great and took turns pulling a bag.

However, once it was discovered that she could ride on Julie's bag, that soon became her ride of choice.



Waving bye-bye to the train... he hated to get off.

We had a great time in San Diego. We even decided to hop the trolley and head to Mexico for a short visit.


"Short" is really an understatement. We stayed for maybe 15 minutes. The border has dissolved into a handful of barely standing shacks, we were the only non-Mexicans and it was all very dismal. After spending so much of my life in and around Tijuana, it was heartbreaking to see what has become of it these days.
The way back took much longer than our stay unfortunately, This is the car traffic but the pedestrian crossing was not much lighter. It took us nearly an hour to cross the border on foot.

On the trip Benjamin disovered "honking" noses. He does it to everyone now.

Julie even took a day trip to Sea World. We were done with the big amusement park scene so we hung out by the pool.

And no trip to San Diego would be complete without a visit to our favorite breakfast spot - Hash House a Go-Go. They have insanely huge portions and a ton of fresh fruit -yum.

I promise I didn't mean to match Benjamin to Marty but they do look pretty cute, don't they?
