Vacation!

We just returned from our family vacation to California. This is the first trip we had taken alone since Dillon was born. The boys were so good. If I could transplant my house there I wouldnt have come home!

Here's the rundown of fun:

Day one- Drove from Buckeye to Newport Beach. Jordan threw up all over himself 45 minutes from destination. We took the boys to Yardhouse for dinner and then to the Beach to walk around.

Day two- Drove up to LA to sightsee around Hollywood. Walked around the Walk of Fame and saw the sights. Took the scenic (aka LONG) route home down the coast. Had PF Chang's take-out in the hotel spread out on towels.

Day three- Back to LA for famous Pink's Hotdogs (the line was way to long the day before). Went to Universal City for the city walk. Back to the Pier in Newport with better weather.

Day four- To Downtown Disney for shopping and fun at Rainforest Cafe. We thought for a brief moment about Disneyland but the line for parking was unreal! We'll save that for next year. To the resort in Carlsbad and swimming before bed.

Day five- To the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park. Took Jordan swimming.

Day six- To Legoland. Jordan loved the rolly coasters! To the beach to watch the sunset and play in the sand.

Day seven- To Sea World. We sat in the splash zone for the dolphin show and get soaked. Jordan loved the 3D Sesame street movie. It was fun to see him reaching out for things. Dillon slept through both!

Day eight- San Diego Zoo. Took the boys swimming in the family hot tub (not heated too high) and Dillon actually went in that.

Day nine- Home at last! Yahoo!

Jordan has become a Penny collector and had so much fun looking at each park for the machines. We got some cute video of him cranking away! Dillon even got in on the fun!
