San Diego – day 5 (last one, I promise)

Day 5 didn’t involve much except for:
1.  Me trying to talk Eric into moving out there

2.  Flying home to KC.  This flight did not go as well at first.  I have to start out by explaining that Luke’s feet were touching the back of the seat in front of him because of the way his car [...]

San Diego – day 4

Our friend Steve is in the Navy.  On Sunday he took us all out to the base to look at the helicopters, which made Kenny and Luke’s day.  Luke even cried when it was time to go.

After that, we headed out to La Jolla to go to the Birch Aquarium.  The kids had fun but I think we’ll [...]

San Diego – day 3

Day 3 was all about Ali’s baptism. 
Eric and I were lucky enough to be her godparents.  I offered to buy Ali a baptismal gown but they already had one from Suzie’s side of the family that had been used since 1914.  So instead, I bought her a charm bracelet.  I put two charms on it, one with [...]

San Diego – day 2

We were up by 7:00 the next morning.  Legoland didn’t open until 10 so we went to the beach.  This was the first time that either boys had seen the ocean.  It was G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.

I’m back

We just got back from San Diego.  We were gone for 5 days, which means I have a ton to do.  I’m off to try to catch up on things but I’ll leave you with an idea of what our trip was like…

Do-able and domestic

We’re not going anywhere until September so I love reading about everyone else’s vacations.  Here’s my list of places that I want to go to.  There are a ton of other places on my wish list but these are do-able and domestic:
1.  Minneapolis – they have a new Water Park of America near the Mall of America.  [...]

Carousel

We took the boys over to the mall today to get their picture taken with the Easter Bunny.  It’s always a challenge to get Luke to take a picture with anyone in a costume so I bribed him.  I told him that if he took his picture, he and Kenny could go on the carousel.  Luckily it worked, [...]
