Our First Family Vacation!

We took our first family vacation to San Diego, CA for the week, and we all had a great time.  The kids were excited from the very beginning that they could watch movies all the way there in the van.  It was a six our drive. 

As we headed to the beach the first day, at Coronado Beach, the kids weren't very sure of the ocean.  They walked into the water a bit but spent most of the time in the sand. It was like playing in a huge sand box, and they had never seen anything like it.
 
 
 They especially loved feeding the seagulls.  We saved our bread everyday for them.
After a fun day at the beach, the highlight each night was to go to the hotel pool after the beach.  Although the pool was heated, Mom thought it was freezing out.  It was in the 60s as a high each day!  We were staying in a condo, so our days' activities were usually eat breakfast, go to the beach, have a picnic lunch at the beach, play in the sand and the water, go back to the condo to swim and to make dinner, watch a movie, and go to bed.  We visited Carlsbad Beach, Coronado Beach, and La Jolla Beach.  By the end of the week, the kids were all jumping and playing in the ocean! 
 
 
The trip would not be complete without a visit to Sea World.  The kids loved it.  The dolphins and whales were everyone's favorite, and we had to sit cloe enough to get all wet! 
 
 
We will all look forward to going back to the beach on another vacation, and we were thankful we could share these special family times together.
