We welcomed a house guest, my mother in law, for two weeks. The first week we went to San Diego. While there we stayed at my Aunt's house, where we spent time with her and my grandparents. We had great time! Being the planners that we are, we practically had every moment scheduled. On Wednesday we left after dinner. We made our first of many pit stops in Gilla Bend where we discovered dinosaurs. Before we left the oldest daughter declared, "This is the best vacation ever, because we took pictures with dinosaurs." We apparently have the bar set really low on what is impressive. We arrived much later than we had originally anticipated, although the journey only took a total of 6 hours with the many stops. So one more, Thank You! Shout out to my aunt for allowing us to stay in her wonderful home. And another thank you for my grandparents and the beautiful meals they had for us. I am glad we were able to spend time together even though it was so short.
As I said we had everything planned out, so here is what we did. Knott's berry farm, the Mormon battalion visitor's center, Belmont park including the beach, the San Diego Zoo and walking the temple grounds.
The kids all loved the parks. The beach was a chance to cool off and play with the waves. It was nice to see that some of my children had overcome the fear of the waves enough to get wet even laying down at times to let the waves crash over them. The zoo proved to be a tiring experience, I didn't remember it being so big! We made it through about half of it before kids were too crabby to walk.
We even managed a nice breakfast visit with my grandma's sister, Aunt Joyce. It was very nice to be able to catch up with her and meet her sweet heart.
Glad you had fun!
