Coronado

We had one last stop on our trip and that was Coronado! I didn't think I would like being here as much as I did because I'm not big on beaches but the hotel was amazing and the town was fun to explore and the weather was beautiful, although that meant the water was freezing! Pat and the kids spent a bunch of time in the water anyway, not caring about the temperature. I watched from the beach and took pictures or read. We stayed at the Hotel del Coronado and it was a pretty fancy place but so so nice. I'm definitely glad we chose it! The kids didn't really even want to leave the property but we ventured out to check out the shops and bought a few things and ate some Chipotle. We also spent a lot of time at the pool which was hardly ever crowded and you could hear the music underwater! The only other time we left was to go see the San Diego Zoo. We had heard how amazing it was and felt like we shouldn't miss it while we were there but ultimately even though it was nice, we probably could have skipped it. I was so excited to see pandas and they didn't have them anymore! We made so many fun memories on this trip, I'm so glad we committed to as many days as we did even though I was worried it would feel too long. It was perfect!

Beautiful sunset!

Pat rented a bike and came with me on a run. We had a view of downtown!
