The day finally came for us to go meet Matt and head to San Diego. From there we would meet up with the rest of the family and get ready to go on our cruise. The weather was very unsettled and the flight seemed to mimic that...so that was fun but I have become a much better traveler over the years.
The flight snacks almost didn't happen but Im glad they did because they are always a highlight.
The beautiful weather in California had left shortly before we arrived and when we landed in Long Beach it was rainy and cool. This is the first time we have flown into Long Beach and the airport was nice and little which made getting around super easy.
Our plan was to go to the beach for the day but it didn't take long to realize that was not the best plan so we grabbed lunch at Red Robin. After lunch we decided to hit up an ice cream shop we have wanted to try for awhile. It's called South Swell Ice Cream and they do ice cream different than any other that I have tried.
Emy and Matt chose cookies and cream in a cone
Liam had an ice cream bar called the OG covered in sprinkles
Hallie had the same thing as Liam but in a cup. It was a little chilly to sit outside with ice cream but it was a fun stop. I had the Englishman with Heath bar and caramel drizzle. We ordered to much ice cream for sure.
Gracie had the smore bar AKA Da Bomb Fire
Then we decided to start the trek to San Diego. What should have taken us 45 minutes- 1hour ended up taking almost 3 hours. The weather was awful, there were so many people, and no one knows how to drive. It was so hard
We got to see the temple for a good period of time because we sat in traffic
We had plans to get dinner with Nic and Kyle but by the time we got to the hotel we were exhausted and they were still stuck in traffic so I just ran to the grocery store and got us dinner and snacks for the next day and evening.
