When Mark and I lived in San Diego, our favorite date night restaurant was Filippi's in either Little Italy or Mission Valley. In fact, we have never found a similar Italian place that we liked as much here in Orange County, well until now. Part of the family that owns Filippi's opened Mr. D's Pizza Grotto in San Juan Capistrano and it's exactly the same. It's super family friendly and delicious. In the last month or so we've already been there twice and ordered take out once. We are thrilled! Info below:

The San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park

If you are a family who lives in Orange County or San Diego, you should definitely get a zoo membership to the San Diego Zoo/Wild Animal Park. Mark and I have been renewing it every year since we got married and we love it. For only $89 a year you can get a dual membership for two adults in a household and it's good for both parks. Kids memberships range from $24-$28, starting at 3 years old. Right now the Family of Four Special Membership is only $127! And with memberships you get some free guest passes and the Zoonooz magazine every month. We love walking either park and since we go so often we love to get there right when it opens, stay for a few hours and then we head home when it gets crowded. I think the best part is knowing that your membership money goes straight to the zoo and its conservation efforts. To go to the zoo website click here!

Whitney Hartmann Photography

I am not playing favorites because she is my sister. Whitney is an amazing photographer and I really am obsessed with her photos. I check her Flickr account every day for new pics. I'm lucky because I make her take photos of my kids when she visits so I have beautiful pictures around my house. Check out her Flickr account at www.flickr.com/whitneyhartmann or her website at www.whitneyhartmann.com.
