Christmas in San Diego

After deciding to enjoy a quiet family Christmas in Boise, it was announced that our Boise State Broncos would play their bowl game in San Diego, 2 days before Christmas. What to do...roadtrip??? Why not!
The trip began with a visit and a night with Gma Florence's in Palm Desert before we continued on to San Diego. Our first day in San Diego was rainy but we enjoyed exploring several museums in Balboa Park. That evening, we warmed up our vocal cords at a USD basketball game where they just happened to be playing Boise State.
Tuesday was Game Day! The pregame activities included a tailgate party with over a hundred of mostly our ole SoCal friends who were there to cheer on Ryan Winterswyk, who plays for BSU. We all sat together and enjoyed a great game.

On Christmas eve day, we enjoyed a fabulous beachfront breakfast in La Jolla and then took a stroll along the ocean, soaking up the coastal sounds, smells and sights.

Our little girl starting to look all grown up.
On Christmas day, we all drove to my sister's house near LAX and spent the day all together enjoying an amazing brunch Rebecca prepared and then seeing what Santa put in our stockings.



Before heading back to Boise, we had to soak up a little more sun and surf.
