Days 1 and 2

Here are a few of the MANY pictures we took today:

Sorry if you all think I am posting this to rub it in that I am basking in the sunshine, but it is really just so I can document it to look back on later.

Monday morning we set off for San Diego. We left cold, but sunny Boise and landed in a blizzard in Salt Lake City. It was SO cold. We had a short layover then left the snow for the warm San Diego sun. Everything went smooth...kids were awesome, flights smooth, no lost luggage. We took a shuttle to get our rental car and everything changed. Apparently earlier in the day the computer system had gone down and it was still down. The line was out the door. Scott stood in line and the kids and I sat on a bench outside...FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF!!! By the time we got our car they gave us a free upgrade for the inconvenience. We are now driving a Chrysler Aspen. It's nice, but way bigger than we need. After finally leaving the car place we went in search of our hotel. After only 1 wrong turn we found it pretty easily. Our room is great. We have 2 rooms separated by french doors. One has a queen bed and the other bunk beds. The kids are loving it. They have all of their clothes and toys put in the drawers. It's pretty cute. After getting settled we went in search of dinner. There is a mall about a mile down the road, so we decided to just run there for a quick dinner at the food court. It was so nice to be able to sit outside and eat. After eating we took the kids to Build a Bear and let them make a new furry friend. Then we walked across the street and had dessert at the Cheesecake Factory. After a quick dip in the hot tub, we all headed for bed.

Tuesday started with breakfast at the hotel, then off to Lego Land. We got there right as they opened (10am). It was so much fun. We saw so many cool things. I can't believe some of the things that can be made with legos. All day I had the urge to buy some legos and build stuff. We walked and played all day long and finally left at 4:30. From there we wanted to go to downtown San Diego to find dinner, but somehow ended up lost. After driving around for an hour we finally found where we were supposed to be. We enjoyed dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, then headed back to the parking garage...where we couldn't find the car. Yeah...not kidding! The way they have that place set up is crazy! We found it sooner than later (whew) and back to the hotel we went. The boys went for a quick dip in the hot tub and Kenz and I jumped into our jammies. Now the kids are asleep and Scott and I are laying in bed watching the Biggest Loser. This has been an amazing day. My feet hurt, we are all sunburned and exhausted, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I am so very blessed!

Tomorrow we are going to Sea World. Stay tuned....
