Our Trip to San Diego

So last week we decided spur of the moment to go to San Diego, Jared had a couple vacation days that he had to use up this month, so we just decided to go. It's only a 6 1/2 hour drive from here, so we packed up and headed out last monday, we stayed until friday. We had such a fun time. The girls were so good on the drive out, and we had so much fun everywhere we went. Tuesday, we spent all day at Sea World, Kyla loves every kind of animal there is, and we had so much fun watching the shows, but she was most excited about seeing sharks and dolphins, are as she calls them "golphins". She loved feeding the dolphins, and especially petting the stingrays. Haley was a very good girl, although she spent most of her time sitting in the stroller. She loved the big aquariums of fish, we would just park her in front of them, and she would laugh and scream and point at all the fish, she loved it!! Wednesday, we decided to go to the San Diego Zoo. We spent all day there. Kyla walked the whole time both days, and loved every minute of it. They have a little children's zoo, where they let the kids come in with the animals and pet them. Kyla thought that was great, she loved the goats!! Thursday, we went to the beach, it started out sunny, but then it got really windy, but we had enough time to build a sandcastle, find some seashells, and eat at least 5 or 6 handfuls of sand (Haley)....We went for a walk out on the pier and there were lot's of seagulls and pigeons for Kyla to chase, except she thinks that every bird is a duck!! Friday we packed up and headed home, the girls were very good on the way home as well, I think we wore them out. Our trip was a lot of fun!!!

Hi Mel,
I just saw your comment and saw that you have a blog on Julie's photo blog! I thought I'd say hi! Your little girls are so adorable! I am WAY jealous of your warm weather. We are still in Nova Scotia (for 1.5 more months is all) and it is freezing here. I am so ready for some nice weather. It doesn't warm up here till like August. It's bad! We've loved it though! Looks like you guys are doing great! Maybe we can all get together this summer, are you guys going home at all?
