Hyatt Hide-a-way

Over Valentine's Day weekend, we decided to do one of our very favorite things... go on a family staycation. We drove down to San Diego, got a killer rate in one of our favorite SD hotels (Manchester Hyatt), and spent the next couple of days hanging out. Here are some of the happenings of our weekend in San Diego:

We went swimming in the pool (I hope Spencer will someday forgive us for letting him swim in public with bright pink Barbie floaties on... stinks to be the third).

Spencer screamed throughout the lobby (good acoustics!) like he owned the place

We went on family adventures

We rode the carousel

We waited in line (forever) to get the kids a "character balloon". The guy was pretty good. Dallin chose a basketball player (he has a one-track mind), Claire chose Ariel (so does she), and I chose Blue from Blue's Clues for Spencer. I thought he would really like it until he took it and let it go swimming in the fountain. Afterwords, he bit the balloon until all of Blue's limbs had been destroyed. Three bucks down the drain (or in the fountain).

Spencer loved running (really fast)

The kids rode their scooters all over Seaport Village

We played on the escalators (a Waldron family favorite)

We also loved watching the Olympics in our room, ordering room service, shopping in the little shops, going to the candy store, staying up late, playing basketball in our room (Dallin brought his "door hoop") and hanging out as a fam.

We are so glad to have San Diego as such a close neighbor.
