San Diego

We did it!!  We took all 4 kids to San Diego.  My poor parents were so exhausted by the end of every day.  My kids are sort of exhausting.  Not that their naughty, I just have a lot of little kids.   We had so much fun.   Everyone thought we were crazy in going.  My sisters begged my up until the day we left to leave the babies.  Even my pediatrician tried to talk me out of it.  I figure our life is never going to be easy so why sit around waiting.  I want memories with my kids. 
It was freezing.  Who ever said California is warm is crazy.  The last two times we have been we have frozen.  But, still way fun.  We almost had to cancel, both babies got RSV 3 days before we left.  Luckily it was a very mild case and they bounced back pretty quick.  
 This ended up in a melt down from Josh.  The trainer gave Taylor a fish to feed the dolphin and every one else around us and not Josh.  They use to let you buy fish to feed them but they dont anymore.  We had been telling Josh he could feed them all along.  He fed the Sea Lions instead. 
 They LOVED finding "sea creatures"



 I tried really hard to not let them get swept away by the waves but I failed.  They both ended up soaked to the bone.  They didnt mind though.  They just kept playing




We went to the beach (yes, my boys loved it even in the chilliness), Sea World, and the Zoo.  The drive was a bit long but the babies were AMAZING in the car.  Pretty sure they did better than me. 
We had a way fun trip and I was soooo not ready to come home to the daily grind of life.  It was so fun to be doing something different and spending time as a family.  We are already planning our next trip!!  Disneyland here we come!!
Side note: I predicted that the orientals would take pictures of our family.  Yes they did.  Its quite unnerving to have people take a picture of your kids while your walking around Sea World.  Makes you wonder when they get home what they will do with the random pic of a random family.
