Here's Justin trying to hide his sadness...
We then made the trek to the Scripps Aquarium to check out the action.....
It was right by the ocean so it had a pretty amazing view
Sitting by the fish pond
Playing with the toy eels
Statues outside the museum (on our way to the car just before a massive meltdown that resulted in Ellie slapping Justin and many parents pointing at Ellie while telling their children "See that's what you look like when you throw a fit" --- not a proud moment in parenting).
We then headed out to the San Diego Temple which happened to be just by the Aquarium...
Ellie and dada
It was absolutely gorgeous here
Love this crazy girl :)
Cheese!
These next few pics Ellie took on her own with my camera.....
.....I think she did a really great job!! Maybe we will start hirin her out!?!
We took a short break at the hotel and then headed out this cute little shopping area called SeaPort Village, which became a nightly stop!
It had cute little shops, entertainment, food and a carousel!
We grabbed some cupcakes (because I cannot resist a cupcake) ---
And then looked in the "telescope"
We headed back to the room to get some sleep and rev up for the next day!
