Last year, at Christmas, we decided that the boys have enough stuff. So, instead of buying them toys that they will outgrow soon, we decided that their big gift will be an experience. This past Christmas we gifted them a trip to San Diego to see my brother and his family (and their beautiful new house). The boys and I played hooky for school for a day and flew to San Diego.
It was such a fun and memorable trip!! The boys bonded with their little cousins and we made the most of every minute there. We walked our legs off at the zoo. We explored and oohed and aahhed at Legoland. We observed sea animals in their natural environment after climbing down to the tide pools. And P got to experience something that most 12 years do not- he got to record a song in a state of the art recording studio.
We laughed. We talked. We went on walks. We watched movies. We ate great food. We freaked out over a tsunami warning. We played. We sang and danced. We cried when we said goodbye. We created memories.
