I love when Paul and I get to spend time together with just the two of us. Unfortunately it doesn't happen too often, but I love that Valentine's Day is an excuse to do just that. We decided to go out in the morning and we left the kiddos with an awesome babysitter. Parker loves her and she always tidies up our house while we're away. We went to breakfast at a place downtown called Babycakes. Their primary business is desserts, which in my estimation had to mean that their breakfasts were right up my alley. Paul ordered standard breakfast fare: an omelet served with potatoes and peppers, toast and fruit. I ordered the Chunky Monkey. It's french toast (made out of banana bread) topped with caramelized bananas and whip cream. Ohhhhhh my goodness. Thank goodness we had the foresight to wear our elastic waistband pants.
After breakfast we rented a Go Car. It's a two seated scooter that's street legal, but only goes 30mph. Going up hills we were wishing that we could turn on some hazard lights- I think we topped out at about 14mph. You can drive anywhere you like, but you also have the option of following the GPS instructions through a guided tour of downtown San Diego, which is what we opted to do. We learned lots of interesting things about different areas downtown and along the bay.
