They have been to San Diego many times already since Alison has been living here, so they were mostly just interested in getting some quality time with everyone rather than site-seeing. We took walks, ate way too much, and spent a lot of time playing with the kids and just sitting around talking.
Originally when we asked what they would like to do when they were here, the only request my father-in-law had was to eat pancakes. So Saturday morning we made sure to have pancakes!
We were thankful to have them staying with us for the week so we could get as much time with them as we could. Sadly Eric and I still had to work during the week so they would spend the day with Alison and we would get to spend time with them in the afternoons.
During the weekend we all took the girls to Chuck-E-Cheese one day. I hadn't been in many, many years so it was crazy to see how it's changed!
It was actually a lot of fun for all of us. At one point I got a high score in ski-ball and it shot out 100 tickets (all the other rounds I got like four).
We celebrated Alison's birthday at Benihana - her favorite.
They got to see how we are living, which is a pretty sweet place if you ask me!
We also had one night where just Eric and I went out to eat with them at a place in Little Italy downtown. It was so much fun trying a new place and having our own time with them. Hopefully next time they visit we can take off a few days so we aren't working so much!
We had such a great visit with them and are so grateful they were able to come out. It's a busy season for all of us as they have also just made a big move from Virginia to Texas. We are so excited to get to go visit them in December!
Looks like such a fun visit! Also, I haven't been to chuck E Cheese in years - didn't even know they were still around - how is the pizza?? And also that pic of the little lake in your complex looks like such a resort!
ReplyDeleteGood times! You are right, you guys ate well! I am glad they were able to spend the quality time with both families.
