Celebrating #3

Last Wednesday, as you might have gathered from the previous blog, was our third wedding anniversary! Adam took a "personal day" from work and we had a fabulous day!

We started out by dropping Bennett off at my parents and going to breakfast at South Coast Winery! We had heard great things about their breakfasts - and let me tell you, it was just as good as we heard!

Pictured you will find Adam's biscuits and gravy with sausage and scrambled eggs in the background, to the right is the banana fosters pancake (unbelievable!!!) and in the front is my eggs benedict over prime rib hash. Don't get me wrong, we still love Ramos House for special breakfasts, but this place is closer and cheaper!

After a stroll around the grounds (neither one of us had ever been there before) we headed back to my mom and dad's to pick up Bennett and head down into San Diego! First stop, Babies in Bloom, my favorite baby store ever! We needed to get a swim diaper for B and since we were down there I figured better get it now then pay shipping and handling later! Next, Harbor Freight, Adam needed a rotary tool that was on crazy sale for $7! (Bennett slept through all of this!)

Next stop:

We got there about 1:30'ish and got to park right up front... wonderful! We decided to do and see things we missed the last time we were there.

There were amazing flowers in the "Native to this Area" plant house

We thought this one had an appropriate name for the day

Walking up to Condor Ridge - gorgeous view!


The baby elephant with it's Mommy was just about the cutest thing I have seen in a long time!

Here's my "Baby Elephant" walking with his Daddy

We took the "Journey into Africa" (I kind of missed the monorail, the WAP has changed a lot since I was a kid)






Bennett was asleep when we went to the petting zoo last time but he loved it this time! He giggled and laughed as he was touching the animals


He was also really into watching the other kids

And of course, he walked around with his hands behind his back like he always does...
... I can't imagine where he gets it from:

We snapped this family picture just as we were leaving
For dinner we headed over to San Marcos to the Old Spaghetti Factory for some Mizithra Cheese and Spumoni!
It was such a great day! 

It's crazy to think that in just three years we went from this:
to this:

But we love it and wouldn't change anything for the world!
Here's to 60+ more years of fun!
