Spring Break #7 - San Diego

Thursday morning we all slept in as long as we could (so like 7:30ish).  Then we took our time to get dressed and went down for breakfast.  It was a good thing we didn't wait much longer because they were starting to clean up breakfast while we were finishing up.
After that we got all our things and packed up the car.  Grandpa was flying into San Diego around noon so we wanted to get down there by then.  Nate and Amy stopped at the San Diego temple for some things while we went on to the airport.  Lloyd landed about 11:30 and ended up having to wait for us for about 20 minutes or so.  After getting Lloyd we decided to meet Nate and Amy at a pizza place.
They didn't have enough room for us inside the restaurant so we had to sit outside on the patio.  It was nice and sunny at first so it wasn't too big of deal but then the clouds came in and the wind picked up and became chilly.  I got the jackets out of the car and that made it a lot better.
After lunch our room was ready so we checked in and started getting in dirty clothes washed.  We let the kids watch shows, play tablets, and play in the room while we did the laundry.  It was very nice to hanging out and having a break from busy busy.
After we were all done we were all ready for some dinner.  Nate and Amy met at our hotel and we decided to go to Denny's.  The GPS said it was only like 9 miles away but that it would take like 20 plus minutes to get there.  We decided to still go there and just deal with the traffic.  It was pretty busy.  Nate and Amy didn't want to wait in the traffic any more so they just pulled into a shopping center and hoped for a food place.  They decided on Subway and they found a place to park.  We drove around for like 10 minutes looking for a place to park and didn't find one.  We decided to stop wasting time looking for a spot and just drive to Denny's like we wanted.  It didn't take too much longer (15 minutes) to get to Denny's and we all had a yummy meal.
After Denny's Lloyd and Margie ran into Walmart while the kids and I stayed in the car.  Then we all went back to the hotel to get ready for bed.  We were all pretty tired and ready to get a good nights sleep before a big day at Sea World.
