Our Stay-cation at Loews

    Last week Ethan and I got to stay with Dad at Loews Coronado Bay Resort. We went from Monday, August 10th to Friday, August 14th and enjoyed lots of time at the beach and the pool. It was really fun to get away even though we were really close to home. Just like a normal vacation I was really sad when we had to leave.

    Our first full day was Tuesday and my friend Adelin came to spend the day with me. Mom came too but she had to work :(. We spent some time hanging out in the pool and swimming around. We got some food from one of the hotel restaurants and ate it outside where we had a beautiful view of the Coronado bridge and San Diego. One of the best things about Loews is that there are golf carts that take you to and from the beach. We rode the golf cart to the beach and spent a few hours there. Adelin and I somehow got all the way in the water even though it was FREEZING! Our feet went numb but it was worth it for the fun. 

    On Wednesday, Mom came and we went in the pool again. It felt really good as it started to get hotter outside. For lunch we had the fries from the poolside Cantina, which were AMAZING!!!! They had guacamole, sour cream, feta, nacho cheese, shredded cheese, and pico de gallo on them and it was heavenly. We all went to the beach and the water was still really cold. I was all alone in the water because Ethan didn't want to get all the way in so it wasn't as fun. 

    For our last full day, we went to the pool and got the Cantina fries again. We met up with our friends, Cesar, Juliana, Martina, and Bruna at the beach. Martina and Bruna are about 7 and 4 and we had a lot of fun playing with them. We started digging a hole and decided to hang out in the water. We ended up digging a new hole next to the water so it could be filled up easily. Our hole got flooded as the tide came in so we had to dig another one, which ended up getting flooded as well. We also went body surfing in the waves and it was super fun even though it was still cold. I hadn't seen them in a long time so it was really fun to hang out again. 

    Another big part of our trip was watching Shark Week on Discovery channel. We watched it everyday because it's so interesting. I love learning about the different kinds of sharks but it's also crazy to see the people diving with the hungry sharks and even hand feeding them. I had a super awesome stay-cation and am so lucky to be able to do this before the summer ends. I'm even luckier to be doing another one next week with mom!
