Vacation!!!

The next three posts are from our vacation this past week.  We started it out by staying in LA, where Mike and I ran a half marathon on Memorial Day.  We went to Disneyland the next day and then drove down to San Diego for a week.  We hit all the great spots like SeaWorld, Wild Animal Park, the San Diego zoo, the beach, and historic sites.

Checking out the map at SeaWorld.  Notice the hat…Nicholas spent every day in it (and everyone we met thought it was so cute).  It must’ve done it’s job because while Mike and I got burned a few times, NIcholas never did.

Mike and Nicholas riding Oscar’s Rockin’ Eel at SeaWorld.  I was worried that it would be too scary for him, but he held on and had a great time!

Nicholas loved the Elmo’s Flyin’ Fish ride and piloted his fish up and down the whole time.

Ever since Nicholas learned to jump, he’s been thrilled to be in bouncy houses like this one.

These turtles were actually very fast, and Nicholas kept putting his arm up to the glass because he thought they were going to climb on him : )

Eating dessert at an authentic Mexican restaurant in Old Town, San Diego.  The food was delicious and we even got serenaded by some mariachis.  Mmm, the tortillas were to die for.

 

Thanks for a fun time…I love my family and the memories we make together!!
