San Diego Trip

Friday we left early in the morning on a trip to San Diego. 6am we were on the road and excited to spend the weekend at Sea World. I had never been there and have been wanting to go for YEARS! So to say I was excited was an understatement.

The girls and I (except Atalie who I left with Jr's older brother) rode with my sister-in-law (Jr's sister) and her kids. And my in-laws as well. But we were not the only ones who went. My Dad who borrowed Diego for the weekend also went... and my brother and his family. All in all there was about 25 people. But we weren't all together. The only ones who didn't get to go were my sister and her husband because they worked. But they did send my nephew Ducky.

And since I borrowed my sister's camera for the trip... I found this...

So after loading up the cars we were on our way.


Not even 30mins into our drive and the side mirror on the passenger side decides to fly off and straight into my window and scared the crap out of us.


We stopped for breakfast at McDonalds


We wanted to leave way earlier than what we did because we wanted the kids to sleep most of the trip. But that didn't happen... and they didn't quite sleep. And having three 2 year olds in the car wasn't fun at all.

But luckily for a while the twins Mia and Luis found a way to entertain themselves.



But it didn't last long and then we heard this... .


Sometime after that we also go a replacement mirror. Ghettofabulous!


And then we finally arrived in San Diego and checked into our hotel! And that made the kids happy to get out of the car.


But then we were off again. We headed to Mission Bay Park for some beach fun.




I can't tell you most of what happened because after being there a little while I stuck my toes in the sand and fell right to sleep.


But here's what I did see...

Arielle wouldn't listen to me about throwing sand


Alayna enjoying the water


Everybody decided to bury my nephew Noe in the sand


Arielle played with her Nanis in the sand


But mostly the kids just played in the freezing cold water. And I am not exaggerating when I say it was freezing cold. I wanted to be no where near it.


After that the kids were cold and tired so we drove over to Belmont Park and rode the rides. And ate pretzels! Yum! And the girls got to ride the carousel.




Everyone was exhausted and we took the kids home for baths and put them to bed. That's when we met up with everyone else. And we hung out outside the hotel rooms laughing, talking, and having a little drink.

My mother-in-law made us an ice chest since our room didn't have a fridge.
