San Diego

What a great week in San Diego.  So many things about it were great . . . hello, the weather!!  75 degrees and sunshine!  It was so great after this weather.

Here is a random review of our trip via pictures:

My parents blessed us with a great start to our trip.  They watched Charlotte so that Addy, Scott and I could have a special trip to Legoland be ourselves.  This was a super special treat for all of us.







Taking pictures of ourselves making funny faces is a great way to waste time in line.



I am such a dork - this was the bigger kid ride with real cars for the kids and we got Addy on it.  But at the last minute I started to panic it was too big for her and she was going to freak out.  I actually started to cry as we left her to fend for herself.  She was a little scared but did awesome.  It was a big moment for all of us.



The Easter Bunny found us down there and visited each night with some special gifts for the girls.






We rented a backpack to try it out while there.  I was dying to see how she looked so I kept taking pictures to see what was happening back there.


Charlotte loved the beach, she loved to watch the water and she really enjoyed mushing her toes in the sand.

Then she fell asleep and I spent at least an hour snuggling her in the warm sunshine while watching Addy and Scott play in the waves.  This for me was the most precious moment of the trip.  The breeze, the sunshine, Addy and Scott's laughs carrying to me, warm little chubby body snuggled in my lap.  Each time I looked down I would see the most adorable snuggly body, chubby cheeks, tummy and thigh right there.  So cute!  I hope that I never forget that moment, it was truly one of those moments I hope to go back to over the years to remember how blessed and lucky I really am!




Seaworld. Someone thought sitting the splash zone was a great idea.  We had a crying baby and a whining Addy when it was all done.




Addy took charge of the zoo and led us all around.  She was all about the maps and checking off where we went and what we saw.  The map is packed for tomorrow's show and tell at school.


Of course we had to find some mini-golf.  Luckily Charlotte snoozed through two rounds.



These are the flower feilds leading up to our resort on the hill - so beautiful.






This was my favorite animal - love seeing the California condors.







The resort pool - we spent a lot of time here!!



What a great week!  So nice to have the chance to hang out with the family and enjoy some vacation time.  San Diego was a great destination for us!  And thanks to my mom and dad for coming with us - it was a great time!  And thanks for sharing your photos.
