The Millers Take San Diego Day One: Wednesday Road Trip

One Wednesday Matt, Ben, and I hit the road to spend some time with Matt's family. Bev and Carl came down from the Sacramento area and stayed for two days in San Diego and two days in Dana Point, and they were so kind and generous as to get a room for us in San Diego so we could stay with them. On Wednesday afternoon Ben and I picked Matt up from work and headed south. Ben was not super excited about the two hour drive. His lack of enthusiasm manifested itself in two hours of screaming, with little ten second breaks here and there. So fun. Because Ben's dinner time came and went in the car and we weren't sure what dinner plans were going to be upon arrival, I fed Ben in the car on the way down. That gave us a five minute break from the screaming, so that was good.

When we got to the hotel (which was very nice), we waited for the family in the lobby as Ben entertained just about everyone who walked by (except for a business guy on his bluetooth, who probably could not have been distracted by a T-rex). When the family arrived and we were able to get into our room, unload, and take a breath, we went to dinner at the Yard House. Great food, great company, and the Laker game for Ben.

Happy guy


Apparently he's a Lakers fan

We got Ben to bed when we got back to the hotel around 9:00 (two hours past his bedtime...but he was a champ) then went to Bev and Carl's room next door to watch a movie. Matt and I were so tired we went back to our room and crashed around 9:45. We party hard.
