A couple of weeks ago we went out to San Diego for a work trip! For those that don’t know, I work for a startup tech company full-time based in San Diego called Tiled. We create, what we like to call, microapps which is essentially an app you can create with no code required. So, if you have some level of graphic design skill, you can essentially build these robust experiences that feel just like an app! To get an idea, you can visit this microapp here.
Anyways, if you remember, Will & our daughter actually joined me for my work trip back in July as well. That was because she REFUSED a bottle so we decided to make a family trip out of it and come out all together which was actually so much fun! This time was a similar situation and Will had some vacation days he could use by March 1st so we made another family trip out of it! I’m super glad they came with me.
For the work retreat, we rented a pretty incredible 5-acre property I found on VRBO that was actually on an orange grove! It was the prettiest view to wake up to outside of our window.
The property had a little casita Will and our daughter could hang in all day while I worked. So yes, Will was on dad duty all week and loved every second of it. He is the BEST dad to our girl.
Here is a picture he sent me while they were on a walk together and I just about died.
The trip was a great mixture of work and play. We worked hard during the day but the mornings were filled with team runs and at night we went to the movies, go carts and played games as a team.
If you can’t tell, I get quite heated playing Avalon…
We had two hours to spend on a real “vacation” before our flight on Saturday and loved meeting up with my sister and brother-in-law who just so happened to be in San Diego as well! Seriously, what are the chances?
Ate at my favorite.. Puesto!
This girl has all of the personality these days. She’s crawling around like crazy, has a hard time eating solids (makes the LOUDEST gagging sound but never actually throws up… we get wonderful stares in public) and is so spunky. I can’t wait to watch her grow up!
If I look tired that’s because I am tired.
Will snuck this photo of me as we were entering the airport and I can’t help but laugh when I look at it… If this is all of our crap with one kid what in the world is it going to look like with more?!
Overall it was a great trip and I feel super happy to have my little family and a husband that supports me in all my crazy work endeavors. I am going back out to San Diego without them in a couple weeks and am already feeling a little nervous about it!
Hope you’re having the best week.
