San Diego

After being in Kansas for about 2 days we turned around and left for a family reunion in San Diego. It was great to be able to relax after making the big move. It was so good to see all the family on my mom's side. Many of them had never met Cade and I had never met some of the newer additions. Grandma and Grandpa were the main planners of everything and they did a fabulous job. Here are some of our adventures.

This was Cade's first experience with the beach. He was ok with standing in the sand and watching the water but he was a little nervous about the water rushing up around this feet.

We went to the San Diego Zoo. What an amazing place! My favorite was the monkeys. We saw a mommy monkey cuddling with her baby. So precious!

We also went to LegoLand! What a fun idea for an amusement park. Of course it would have been so fun to have a Cade a few years older but we still had a blast. Miniland was awesome-they had several major cities (DC, Vegas, New York...) all made out of legos. It was amazing.
Cole loves baseball and we were able to go to a Padres game. Cole loved taking his son to a baseball. We just had to dress him up like a baseball player.
Other activities included a bike ride along the beach, playing games in the hotel lobby, Cole went deep sea fishing, and touring the USS Midway-a naval carrier. They had old veterans there giving presentations on what it was like to be on the carrier. It was pretty fascinating.

This was a great time for us to spend time with lots of family before moving. Now the nearest family is 8 hours away. So if you are ever passing through Kansas feel free to give us a visit!
