Family Vacation in San Diego

March began with a much anticipated family vacation to San Diego, CA.  We chose to fly (after I found pretty good deals out of Medford, way back in October!)  Ady liked watching the activity on the ground while we waited for our plane.

 Our First day there, we took the kids to the beach for a couple of hours and watched them run in and out of the waves.  Then they got all the way in and rolled around in sand, and played with the forces of motion.

 I finally went down to pose for a picture as proof that I was there, of course THAT was when a large wave came and we got very wet...I guess the ocean doesn't care about posterity.

Randy and Missy came down and stayed with us for a couple of days.  Randy was kind enough to play legos with the kids...Thanks!  They also joined us at the Zoo for a very full day of walking in the beautiful San Diego weather and seeing TONS of great animals.  There was also a fair amount of basketball hoops shot and a bit of "schooling" in the game of horse.  I think the kids will remember their time with Randy and Missy in San Diego.

 Ady got picked to volunteer in the Sea Lion Show, she was definitely Excited!  She got to pet and feed him.

 And then....She got kisses, whisker tickles.....Great Event!  She loved it!

 Another day at the beach, unfortunately, the sunshine didn't cooperate with us.  It was much cooler this day, but Caiden was a trooper.  We borrowed boogie boards at the front desk for the kids.  Caiden loved this activity, the biggest disappointment was that it was too cold for the rest of us to join in!  We did manage to get sunburned this day though...go figure!

Legoland.  Caiden had been looking forward to this ever since we planned the trip.  The kids enjoyed the day, it is definitely NOT disneyland, but also is nice and NOT crowded.  The lego creations are fun to look at and there were a couple of rides that were entertaining.  It was a relaxing day, and walking distance from where we were staying.

Our last meal out for the vacation, before heading to the airport and home.  We ate on the patio and were served huge servings....it was SO delicious though!  A great way to end our stay!!
