Trip to San Diego

The end of June we planned a trip to San Diego. Since we didn't have any big vacations planned for the summer we wanted to do something that would be fun for the kids and to get out of the heat. So we decided to go to San Diego since it's not too far away. We left wednesday night around 6:30 and ended up getting into San Diego around 2:30 a.m. You'll have to ask Rich why it took us so long. Lol! Thursday we got up and headed off to Sea World. We had so much fun there. It was nice because all the kids were tall enough to go on all the rides. Fortunately it was a warm day because we definetley got wet. The girls wanted to sit in the soak zone in every show and that they did.

There were some new shows since the last time we went so it was fun to watch some new things. They really added a lot more acrobatics to the shows. It was amazing to watch what they were doing.





The rides were a lot of fun. I had never been on any of them before so it was nice that we could all go on them together. Paige and Maren were not too fond of the Journey to Atlantis ride. They both kept begging to get off throughout the ride. It is a roller coaster that is pretty high up and has some long drops. At the end of the ride they didn't lift up our bars right away and Paige kept thinking they were going to make us go again, and she was not very happy about it. She kept saying, "I don't want to go again, I don't want to go again." I have to admit it was kind of funny. I think their favorite ride was the Shipwreck Rapids where you ride on a big round raft. That is probably the ride we got the most wet on.





The next day we headed to the beach. Rich's step sister Jen met us there with her 3 kids. We had so much fun spending time with them the kids built a sand castle jumped the waves and just played together. After a while we decided to take a walk around the beach and got some yummy waffle cones and then went back to our things and roasted marshmallows and made S'Mores.

The second day at the beach was fun but much cooler then the day before. I was surprised the kids would still get in the water. But they didn't miss a beat they just kept playing and playing until their heart was content.










This trip was so much fun for our family. We enjoyed spending alot of time together and just having fun. It was fun watching the kids play on the beach. They were in heaven. I'm glad we were able to go on this trip and can't wait to go back.
