California Vacation!

California knows how to party!  We just got back from an awesome 10 day adventure to Southern California...the weather was beautiful and this might be the best trip we've ever taken!  Four nights in San Diego where we went exploring Seaport Village, U.S.S. Midway, Coronado Island, a Padres game, Torrey Pines State Park, La Jolla, a sunset cruise in the harbor, the San Diego Zoo, and the Gaslamp District.  We went from there to Big Bear, for three nights of hiking/biking, followed up by our last two nights on Laguna Beach.  It was EPIC!  Started off the trip in Jacob's infamous pink hat, we weren't going to lose him!

 Annie had the only carryon a girl needs, her Hello Kitty bag!

 First stop, Corvette Diner for some awesome milkshakes:

 A balloon animal master made Annie a ladybug and Jacob and Gwyn aliens:

 Off to Seaport Village!

 Just ask Jacob to explain what this guy does if you give him $1.

 USS Midway tour:

 What could be better than a family bike ride around Coronado island?

 Padres game at Petco Park...Kimbrel is AWESOME!

 Torrey Pines State Park...might have been my favorite day of the trip!

 La Jolla seals!

 I'll take a taxi!

 Undoubtedly, we had the best kite on the beach!

 One happy boy!

 A wedding below Jason's room, it was amazing!

 These pictures are the only way to describe how much Annie enjoyed the beach.  She said, I love this day.

 My love!

 Jacob boogie boarding, he's a natural and LOVED it...over and over and over again, for HOURS!

 Gwyn was a little more cautious in her boogie boarding, she never got too out of control, but loved it!!
