Beach and Italian Ice Cream

Our first stop today was actually Oceanside Beach. In our book it said it was a surfer's dream. So we thought it must of had big waves. So we went to check it out ourselves.This beach sure was quieter than the La Jolla Beach. The waves were huge....a little too big for our little kids. But this beach had big sea shells. So we stood here for about an hour and then went to the Magical Garden.

After our gardening experience we went to Horton Plaza. This is an out door shopping center along 2 street with tons of restaurants and markets. Most restaurants were a little too fancy for our flip flop wearing. But we found this Italian ice cream geliato place.

I think it looks way too modern to be an ice cream parlor. But here we took a snack break. And ordered the most delicious non ice cream we ever tasted.
The kids couldn't tell the difference and I wasn't going to tell them.

(Mason's eyes kept watering the whole time. We thought he had a cold but I think it was allergies. To what? I have no clue. )

We taught Lily the sign language word for "more" Pretty much to tell us when she's still hungry. It works great....maybe too great. She kept signing 'more' to Mike. He couldn't shovel it in her mouth quick enough.

But as we were walking we noticed this common sight every where we went.....homeless people just laying in the middle of the sidewalk. It was crazy to see this on one of the most hottest and most hit tourist spots in San Diego. Poor guys.

But we went back to our camp site early and hung out there and experienced all our camping fun.
