Sunny San Diego

Sometimes I feel like I really can do it all! Only sometimes though, the other times I can barely finish my work in time to pick Owen up from daycare only to realize I have absolutely nothing at the house for dinner.
But this time I made it work. I had two 4-day work trips planned over the last two weeks of August and I decided to find a way to bring Owen with me on my trip to San Diego. It worked out great! My aunt came down to watch him while I had to work the conference. She was happy to spend time with him and I got to see him during our afternoon breaks and say goodnight each day. The Hotel Solamar was amazing and I would absolutely recommend Kimpton hotels for anyone traveling with kids, dogs or if you just want to have great customer service and a fun atmosphere. As soon as we arrived they invited Owen to choose a toy from the bin in the lobby and then when he was admiring the fish they just brought one up to our room. Owen was so excited to have a fish to say good night to just like at home. And I was so excited to have my little guys so close while I was working. In fact, since we had the majority of the rooms booked for the conference, some of my coworkers would give me updates on Owen, like when he was going to the pool or on his way up the elevator for his nap. He knew more people in that hotel than I did.
