going crazy during the game :)
A couple weeks ago I was in San Diego to welcome my little brother home from his mission. I love going home. I love the memories attached to it, the weather, being with my friends, and my family. No place feels as good to me as being back in San Diego for me. I long to feel that way about another place someday... I am sure I will. But right now, San Diego is the only place that does it for me.
While I was able to do all my favorite things. I hit the best Mexican food stops, tried a great place called Hodads downtown (best onion rings I have ever had in my life!), and of course, I can't forget spending time with my girlfriends mixed with the beach!
Then being with my whole family, all of us six siblings together is becoming a rare event. It was a blast. We spent time staying up late talking, playing games and watching movies. We were even able to see a Padres game together! My boss was even in town and came with us. I grew up going to Padres games, so it was so much fun to be there and feel nostalgic. I am not a huge fan of the actual sport, but I absolutely love the ambiance of baseball games. Going to a tailgate party and then being at the park, it is much more then a game, it is an experience :) While I may not love baseball as much as I do football, soccer, or lacrosse, I DO love and support any team from San Diego, my hometown.

San Diego has my heart. It was a great week with family and friends.
As the famous line in the song goes, TAKE ME HOME to the Padres :)

So glad you were able to take a well deserved trip home. Looks like you had a blast :) I'm also more into the ambiance of a baseball stadium than the actual game itself!

How are you from here and hadn't been to Hodads? Next you'll tell me you've never had Phil's BBQ!

ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to your love for the Padres, tailgating, and feeling right at home. I'll always remember tailgating before every game at Qualcomm, and going to just the game at Petco isn't the same any more-it is still a blast! So glad you had some beautiful weather while you were in town.
ReplyDeleteoh boy this looks like fun! i've been to san diego twice, but it was when i was younger. i really need to go back and experience it again! xo
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love San Diego! I can't believe you've never been to Hodad's before...it is AMAZING!!! I only lived there for a few years, but I loved everything about that city, and I miss it so much! Someday I hope to live there again!
ReplyDeleteLove all your pictures, you look like you had an awesome time!
Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day, Alycia! :-)

I love how happy you look hanging out with your fam! There is really no place like home no matter how old we get :)
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your beach trip! I wish I could go everyday!
ReplyDeleteSuch great photos of one of the greatest places in the world. :)
ReplyDeleteIt has my heart too, love this post :)
ReplyDeletewhat a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteI'm way late with this comment, but I totally agree. No where feels the same as the place that you grow up. It's like it you know it, and it knows you back.
ReplyDelete*We go to the Rockies games every time we are all together too, but not because we like the sport. We've never watched a game on TV in our lives but man the ballpark is delightful.
How fun! I grew up going to Padre games too! Such fond memories! So glad you got to head back to "the 619" for some special family time! It looks like it was a blast! xo
ReplyDeleteoh it's so fun to visit home! I love going back too. it's sad living away from family. but looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI am super late on commenting, but I love the pictures - looks like the epitome of summer!
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect. I feel the same way about SD too. It's the greatest city. I have really been missing it lately. :(
