A Sunny San Diego weekend

Our wonderful sunny weekend started with a trip back to the Welk Resort in Escondido. Garrett's family had to cut out a day early on their timeshare so they offered it to us for Friday night! Leanne came down to visit and Shauna joined us too, so much fun!

Here's Ty attempting to blow bubbles in the pool with Shauna.
Enjoying the wonderful weather and warm pool.


The best part in my eyes was the water slide! I hadn't been on a water slide for years and sadly, Tatum was too small to join us. But that didn't stop the adults! Here's Shauna showing her perfect form from many days of attending water parks. :)


Garrett with his too cool for school up right...


Lee gracefully rounding the bend...


and crazy lady Joy out of control. So much fun!


Ty loved it and didn't nap once all day!


Later that night the ladies hit the town to enjoy some wine and appetizers at a wine bar in Escondido. We were excited to also check out Stone Brewery but after driving around for 45 minutes and getting lost, we gave up. Still had lots of fun though!


After saying good bye to our beautiful getaway resort, Leanne and I stopped at a nursery and picked up some plants to spruce up the front of the house. Here's my favorite planting move. Really getting in there. :)


Leanne and Garrett weren't foolin' around. Those weeds better watch out!


Tatum loved planting and did a great job showing us where she thought the plants should go and then helping to break up the bottom of the plant to ready it for planting. She's already an excellent gardener.


And here's the finished product. I think it'll look great as it grows in.


Sunday we headed back to Bernardo Winery for live jazz music, appetizers that we brought from home, and delicious wine. There's a large field out in back where we spread out a few blankets, set up a table we found for our appetizers and let the kids run and play.


Shauna brought her fancy camera and took some great pictures. Here's our little busy body with his beautiful blue eyes.


Tatum with her fairy Godmother. :)


And the group. What a fun time and a beautiful place!


Look at this little model. She loved the camera and posing for Shauna.


So many interesting corners at this place. It's a photographer's dream.


Jack, Ty and Tatum showing off the old wagons.


We'll definitely be making this a frequent activity all summer long since the concerts continue through November!
