Family Trip To San Diego

After a very busy month for Kurt in school we decided we needed a family vacation. San Diego is just a 5 hour drive from where we live and was the perfect place to get away. This trip turned out much better than the last trip we took to San Diego!  The last time we went was shortly after Cameron was born.  It started with a terrible drive with both kids screaming bloody murder.  Cam had acid reflux at the time and wasn't so pleasant.  In an effort to save money, we went on priceline and stayed in a roach infested hole in the wall.  We didn't get much sleep and lets be honest...didn't relax much.
This time was the complete opposite.  Being much older, the boys were really able to get into everything.  The kids did great in the car (thanks to Dora and Diego), and we stayed in a much larger and better hotel.  Colby had such a great time he often asks if we can go back to Diego Sands (didn't quite get the name right...close enough).

 

We rented bikes one of the days and rode along the beach. The boys loved it!  Luckily Kurt was the one pulling the boys in the wagon, because apparently it has been a while since I have been on a bike.  We rented beach cruisers.  Not the same as a 21 speed.  I just about ran into a parked car because I forgot that the breaks were on the pedals and not the handle bars.  Oh man did Kurt have a good laugh.

 

 

One of the days we went to Sea World.  I am so glad we went.  It was well worth it.  Colby loves animals and apparently is really into whales.  We had no idea.  The shows are so interactive and fun.

Colby getting pretty excited about the 3D Sesame Street show.  I think he was a little freaked out by the 3D part of it.  He kept taking his glasses on and off trying to figure the whole thing out.
