First Day of Vacation

Well, we are finally in San Diego! Yesterday was a big adventure. The limo picked us up at 5:30 am. We got to the airport and checked in...we had a lot of luggage including three car seats. Before boarding the plane, the kids had fun riding the monorail and the moving sidewalk. The flight was very smooth. Sophia, Andrew, and Madeline were very excited. They loved flying through the clouds.

When we arrived in LA, we got our rental car after a few minutes of searching for the reservation. Apparently, it was under a different name than ours. The drive to San Diego was beautiful. We drove through the mountains and were able to see the ocean from the highway. Unfortunately, the kids were so tired from the early morning traveling that they were all asleep. Maybe they can enjoy it on the way back.

After checking into the hotel we went for dinner (or lunch according to San Diego time). We had some pizza and stopped at a grocery store to pick up some snacks. When we arrived back at the hotel we explored all the areas of the hotel. Andrew was excited because there is a pool table (which is something he played constantly with while in the hospital). Sophia is excited because there is a pool and hot tub. It was too cold to go swimming last night, but hopefully we will be able to do that today. Madeline is just excited to be in a hotel. She keeps jumping on the bed and then laughing.

Today we head to the San Diego Zoo. We will post some pictures later today.
