That's why I was THRILLED when my parents graciously offered to pay for us to go to San Diego with them when we were in Cali for our annual Summer trip. Both boys had been there before but couldn't remember it. They LOVED it!! In fact, P said that when he's 18 he's going to move to SD and buy a room in the hotel where we stayed. We crammed a lot into the short time we were there- SeaWorld, the beach, a boat ride, a tour at my alma mater, lots of good food and time at my brother's new place. At SeaWorld both boys touched sharks and dolphins and fed sea lions. P also sat in the "Soak Zones" and got drenched at the sea lion show. We watched military ships come in and out of the bay from our hotel balcony. We also watched a pod of dolphins and a playful sea lion right across from our hotel room, in the bay. The whole time spent in Cali was filled with fun times and priceless memories but our time in SD will always be a very special memory of our trip!
One thing I love about CA is that there is so much to do...and it's not 1000 degrees! Every time we spend time with my parents we do different things. This time we took my dad's new boat out on the lake, panned for gold (and walked around an old mining town in the foothills), went bowling and the boys camped in the backyard with my dad. One of our favorite things we enjoyed doing was painting rocks for the Rock Garden at the local park. We would walk over with our decorated rocks and choose ones other people had painted. Who knew something so simple could be so much fun?
Having my parents come for a visit and then our trip to Cali was a great way to start our Summer break! Next stop? TX in a few weeks!! Yay for Summertime travels!
