So - we arrived safely, albeit REALLY early in the morning on Wednesday, and then after a few hours of sleep and a walk to the neighborhood Starbucks, the girls had a blast playing with Caden. They were really impressed that he has his own pool, not to mention the fact that he knows how to play hide-n-seek and has LOTS of hiding places in his new house!
The concert itself was fantastic - although once the sun went down, brrrrr. And now that we are parents, we weren't able to spend the entire afternoon drinking ahead of the concert - so we didn't have a good alcohol base to keep us warm! Again...brrr.... but it was so worth it!
Sleep time now - the girls will be up in a few short hours and we have plans to go to the beach to enjoy another beautiful vacation day!
Today, Concert Day, was a fantastic sunny San Diego day! Just beautiful - we spent part of the day just getting stuff organized for our tailgating party. Then Heidi and I had a chance to sneak away and get pedicures. Then, once the babysitters arrived (yes, we had 2 of them come, figured that way they wouldn't be SO overwhelmed for such a long period of time) we packed the party van and headed off to Chula Vista. I'll have to upload the photos when we get back home. We had the van all decked out with Buffett/Margaritaville-esq paraphernalia, we had grass skirts for the guys and lots of beads to hand out, we brought with us a table, a humongous pan and shrimp scampi (along with bread for dipping), and even a Coleman stove. We even brought the propane tank and a lighter - we had it all. Or so we thought...when we realized that the arm that connected the tank to the stove was missing!
So after a few Finger Jell-o shots, and plenty of "you do it, no you do it" we convinced Phil to ask the folks down the way if we could borrow the flame on their campfire. Turns out - they were from Snohomish County! They very graciously allowed us to share their fire - and so we shared our shrimp and Jell-o shots.
