San Diego Day 7 & 8

So Day 7 we had a low key/chill day. It was no nice. We got to sleep in…as much as you can with two kiddos (did I mention that Vivian slept in a pack-n-play in Nick’ and I’s bathroom)? We played and laid at the pool and had a cookout that night. I didn’t even lug the camera around so I have nothing exciting to share.

Day 8 was travel back to Tulsa day. We got up at 4:15 to get to the airport in time. I was a little nervous about getting the kids up so early but all was good. God definitely watched over us during this trip. He kept us safe and blessed us with so many great memories.

They do look a little tired

San Diego Day 6

 

LEGOLAND!!!! I showed Austin the website of Legoland about a month ago. He didn’t quite get that we had to wait another 4 weeks to get there. Once we got to CA he had to wait another 4 days until we went to Legoland. I think it was everything he had hoped it would be and more. As for Vivian, she got to ride about one ride and just watched Austin from the sidelines. There are definitely some talented people who work at Legoland and make all the fascinating models. Who knows it could be anyone’s kiddos making those models someday.   For any of you who want to visit Legoland, there is a new Hilton directly behind the park that has all kinds of all things Legos.

San Diego Day 5

We made it to the beach finally. The water was so cold we didn’t even take our swimsuits. As you can see, that didn’t stop the kids from getting a little wet. Austin made his first sand castle and he let me bury him in the sand. Vivian absolutely loved the water. I just knew the kiddos would get sick after their mother of the year let them in freezing cold water! We got lucky and they were just fine. We loved our relaxing day at the beach. Nick grilled out for us that night and it was yum-o!

 

San Diego Day 4

   So Tuesday we headed out to Sea World to see Shamu and Coco (baby dolphin). Our friend hooked us up to do a meet and greet with the dolphins. We had our very own dolphin trainer and got to give Coco all kinds of commands. Sea World is mainly for kiddos but I can say it was definitely one of the coolest things I have ever done.

Turning 30

To my surprise Nick planned a little getaway for my 30th birthday this weekend. We flew to S. Padre for a relaxing weekend. It was the first time for me to leave Vivi and tears were definitely shed when I walked away from them both at the airport. After throwing up on the plane (motion sickness) and carrying what looked like to be a doggy bag of puke out, I was ready to enjoy a weekend with nothing to do. It wasn't quite hot enough to pull out the swim suits but we made the most out of our trip. We walked along the beach, went to a movie, got couples massages ate, slept, ate, slept, you get the picture.
When we arrived home I was just dying to see the kids. Austin was taking a poop when I got to my mil's and the first thing he yelled from the bathroom was, "mom, you get me a toy"? I can leave to go get milk at the store and be gone 10 minutes and he will run up to me and squeeze my neck acting like he hasn't seen me all day. I leave for 2 days and all he can think about is a cool toy. So silly!

I didn't take my big hoopty camera with us but I managed to get a few with my camera phone.

I thank Nick for making my 30th birthday not such a dreaded event after all.
