We are currently in Park City, Utah, but a few weeks ago, my family went to San Diego for four days. I know, there has been a lot of traveling lately. I actually think I’m putting on weight because of it. Apparently, trekking back and forth through the airport does not burn enough calories to make up for a steady diet of fried chicken, tacos and poutine.
Oh well. All good things come with a downside.
Anyway, in San Diego, which was totally worth all the taco calories, we made friends with sea lions in La Jolla, toured the USS Midway, ran ourselves ragged at Legoland and watched Mazzy kickass on a surfboard.
You can read a detailed rundown of our itinerary here.
While we were there, I also attempted to make my second travel vlog, which is a lot harder than it looks! It was particularly hard to edit together because I accidentally filmed ten times as much footage as I did for my Mont Tremblant video. I think that might have to do with the fact that it was zero degrees in Mont Tremblant and my fingers froze every time I took out my camera. No such obstacles in sunny San Diego!
Anyway— I hope you like my new video! I urge you to watch the video until Day 4. That’s when Mazzy kicks ass on a surfboard and Mike can’t get up to save his life. And definitely don’t miss Harlow walking through a U.S. Navy plane like it’s her own personal runway. Priceless memories!

Mazzy’s a natural surfer!
Wow! Way to go, Mazzy! I was grinning watching her surf. That must have been such a proud momma moment. Harlow was adorable, as always. San Diego is such a fun city.
Love the video! Made me fall in love with my city all over again.
Yahoo! I loved this video. I love that Mike appeared more, so thank him for letting you share his surfing experience. (THANKS MIKE!) It’s fun to see how all four of you interact.
Also, love the runway.
I love these videos! They make me want to travel and eat delicious food!
I loved it when Harlow invited us into her treehouse! I think her voice has grown out of it’s chipmunk phase, which I will miss…but I suppose growing up had to happen eventually, sigh.
I think gaining weight while traveling means you’re doing it right! Experiencing the foods of a new city (for me) is one of the best things about traveling.
Mazzy seriously kicked some ass at the surfing. This was a lovely video and I love how you share pics at the end.
I love these videos! And the music you chose to go with the video is great. So happy and fun! It looks like you all had a great time, sans Mike’s humbling surfing experience…but it looked like he was a good sport about it. 🙂
Wow! This video was pretty awesome! I loved the interactions between the four of you (like Daddyshorts pretending to get sick and you dancing with Harlow). My favorite parts were the girls holding hands throughout the adventures. Such a strong bond they have. Harlow reminding you the animals are made of Lego was super cute. Lastly, making sure to point out the ‘average parent problems’ like Harlow falling asleep and you telling us how you didn’t enjoy the ride, reminding us ‘average folk’ that all trips have their ups and downs. (Maybe a couple outtakes of ridiculous videos at the end instead of the photos? I liked the photos, but would love to see some stuff that got ‘scrapped’. 😉
