We took a completely spontaneous trip to San Diego last Friday after finding out that Tommy would have four days off for the holiday weekend. Our original plan was to head up to the White Mountains but after discovering that everything was either closed or on fire, we decided to make the trip out to the coast to catch some waves and head to the zoo. We had a great time and it was nice to get away from the ridiculous heat of Tucson! We’ve also discovered that Henry is absolutely OBSESSED with water – he couldn’t get enough of the ocean and nearly drowned a couple times from just running in to the waves with no fear! He would stay in until he was shaking, freezing and blue but threw a fit when we tried to take him out. Tommy literally had to drag him back to the towel with him kicking and screaming and yelling “WATER!” all the way back. On the last night of our stay we had dinner out on the pier and he kept saying “water, water, water, water, water” through the whole thing because we had promised him to stop by the beach before we went back to the hotel. Tommy and I were ready to jump off the pier!! I have no idea where his love for water comes from but it’s clear that he’s not going to find any here in the desert so it’s something that we’ll hopefully remedy some time in the near future? We’ll see. 🙂
