This past weekend brought Coachella Fest- the annual music festival in April that brings over 200,000 people to our desert. In the last 3 years that we've lived here, we've managed to tolerate the noise (we live practically across the street from the venue) and excess amounts of people to our otherwise, quiet resort community. Not this year! Morgan and I decided to get out of town and leave the noise and traffic behind. We used our Marriott points for one free night's stay and booked another night at the same hotel on Priceline for only $51! Can't beat that for a weekend away in San Diego! I love the fact that we got away with spending very little money this weekend. We took advantage of our annual passes and made 2 trips to Sea World. Our hotel offered a complimentary buffet breakfast every morning and since I brought drinks, snacks and sandwich stuff from home, our lunches were taken care of as well. We only spent about $60 on dinner for both nights (Macaroni Grill & Jalapenos) and maybe another $20 on incidentals. Not bad considering I probably would've spent more money staying home. Ha!

It was nice to be able to have Morgan all to ourselves and we got a chance to connect and talk at length on our drive as well as in the evenings. We commented on how easy the girls are traveling these days. They are pretty self sufficient and it's a lot of fun to just be together and hang out. We stopped by Idyllwild and Lake Hemet on the way home for a snack, a hike and lunch by the lake. Beautiful weather and good times!

Good for you! I was wondering how you guys coped with being right there, yuck! I agree with you about 4 year-olds, they are so much fun! Still little kids yet beyond the neediness of Toddlers. I'm loving this age!
