San Diego

This past week we took a family vacation to San Diego. We left tuesday morning at 3:30 and got into California about 4:30pm. The kids did really well and there was virtually no fighting, crying, etc. Thanks to Grandma Pat for sitting in back and keeping them entertained! I can't even count how many times I heard the words poo, pee, butt, fart, etc. On Wednesday we went to Seaworld and had fun all day seeing all of the animals and a few shows. They even have some rides now, which was a nice change. They had a whole Sesame Street area where young kids can play, bounce, and play in water.

The second day we went to Legoland which was in Carlisbad, about 20 minutes away. None of us had ever been and I was pleasantly surprised. It was awesome! I highly recommend it if you have a few young kids. It had only a couple of rides that Kenadie wasn't tall enough to ride on. Easton was able to go on a good amount and the kids loved it! We really needed two days to do everything but we managed to get in most of it. That night Grandma was nice enough to watch the kids in the hotel room so we could go out to eat by ourselves. We went to Red Lobster and it was wonderful!
The last day we went on a Harbor cruise, saw a model train museum (which Easton loved), went to science museum, and to Eric's Aunt's house for a bbq. We had a nice time visiting and the kids loved running around. The food was awesome and we are so grateful to have awesome relatives.
We came home Saturday but I could of stayed a couple of more days. Tyler asked if we could move there but I reminded him not everyday would be like that. It was a fun vacation and it is making me even more excited for DisneyWorld! We called it our dry run to see how the kids would handle the amusement parks, walking, food, etc. It went well but it is always nice to sleep in your own bed!
