Road Trip: California March 9th

Vacations are fun. I like to do my research before hand and google the place we’ll be going to make sure we don’t miss anything while we are there. This was our first road trip so for this trip, I had it all planned out our whole trip! On this day we’d do this at this time, on that day we’d go see that after we see them after we go eat there… but then I realized I forgot my list at home on the other computer. I am a bit OCD. I like things to be planned. I am spontaneous and always late to everything but yes, I like order, control, and things to be planned out most of the time.
March 9th We woke up in Classy San Diego! I was so excited to finally meet this yogi I had been talking to for months! We were up and ready to go. We drove into town Juan was going to drop me off at class and go take the kids to the park. Then the car started beeping at us! The engine was over heating. We would drive it maybe 2 blocks and it would start beeping and ringing again. we stopped at the nearest gas station. Fortunately the gas station turned out to be a auto shop too. The mechanic, Enrique, said that the car was way too hot for him to properly check it. We’d have to leave it there overnight. The problem with that was that it was Saturday. They were closed on Sunday and we were staying a little ways away. We had no idea where we were. So we just trusted this guy and left our car and walked on our merry way. I missed my opportunity to meet the yogi. We just decided to walk around town. We caught the bus to the historic part of San Diego, The gaslamp. We took the ferry. We walked the bay area where some guy was giving out hand made things he made out of leaves for free. He was sweet. We went to little Italy. This is my facebook post from that day :
We were walking, trolley & bus hopping for 12 hours yesterday! I am loving San Diego so far! Some things from yesterday:
-Juan got told off by some guy with an apparent mental issue, he was just asking for directions! and I got yelled at by some troubled woman who told me to "Haaaaa! Betta wise up!" 
-Everyone wears yoga pants and spandex here.
-Juan walked right into a street sign. like BAM! right in the forehead!
-Then someone asked him to take a picture of them and he dropped the camera and it broke.
-We took the ferry
-Trying to catch buses and trolleys is fun but man do those doors close quick. We missed one and it was right in front of us. Noah cries every time a trolley leaves without us. 
-Our children are troopers! Noah is struggling without his blanket  
-Our car is in the shop. My phone keeps dying. Looks like I wont get to meet some people and do some things I had planned for myself.
--------When will I learn to stop making plans??? 
-I can't wait to go to the markets today!
-I want some seafood!
Life is good & we are happy and enjoying ourselves
