La Jolla Cove

The countdown for going back to work has started. I'm already anxious. I have loved being home with Lilah. I feel that I have finally got a hold of things and we are finally understanding each other. I know what her little squirms mean and if she is chit chatting for fun or telling me that she's hungry. I keep telling myself that me going back to work means more family trips though, and that makes me feel better.

Since I only have a couple of Mondays left I wanted to go out and do something as a family. I told Michael that I wanted to make a big trip but then decided that there are too many things around SoCal that we still have yet to do. California is so beautiful and diverse, we need to take more advantage of it. At first we were gonna go to Big Bear and spend some time in the mountains but I didn't want to take Lilah to the snow. I was looking up places in San Diego since we haven't been in a while and found La Jolla Cove with all of the seals. I thought it'd be fun to stop by the temple also, but totally forgot they are closed on Mondays.

 

The weather was beautiful that day. I got nervous when we got close to the ocean because I could see that we were driving towards a bunch of fog. It turned out to be just fine. It was even nicer not to have so much sun.

 

Lilah was a great sport the whole way there and enjoyed looking around.

 

It was fun to see the seals just lounging around.

 

 

Lilah thinks her fingers are delicious.

 

I'm loving outings with my little family.

 

Since Lilah is still little, Mike and I try to stay away from crowds. Although that means we get to miss out on the super fun stuff, it's all worth it to take Lilah with us and keep her healthy during these colder months.

 

My cute chick snoozing. On the other side of us there was a large crowd. We could hear a woman screaming and when we looked over there was a tiny baby seal with a bunch of people around it. She was screaming from the balcony at everyone to move back and leave the baby alone. People were so insensitive and thought they could pet it and take selfies with the baby. I hope Lilah can grow up and learn to respect nature and animals. It was so sad that people where putting the baby in danger all for a picture.

 

We walked around a bit and then took off early to go and have dinner with Priscilla. It was a perfect little outing.
