Starting to Recap Summer 2010 - San Diego

Well, obviously I have not been incredibly fantastic about keeping my blog up to date, but I hope to do better in the future! I thought I would start with a recap of this summer and all the fun we had.
One of the best highlights of the summer was going to San Diego as a family. We drove and stayed in St George on the way there. I love using Doug's points to stay in nice comfortable hotels for free. I am very grateful for his job.
While we were in San Diego we went to Seaworld (of course) and Legoland. Landon absolutely loved Seaworld. We bought him his own stuffed Shamu whale and he wouldn't go anywhere without it. Every day he would talk about the different shows we saw and want to go back. He still loves looking at the pictures. All the kids loved getting splashed by Shamu, although Landon and I sat up higher and Landon laughed every time Shamu splashed saying, "He just got my Daddy wet!" One of the cool things was feeding the Dolphins. They changed it so that your family goes with one trainer and gets to feed and touch a specific dolphin. Our dolphins name was Cocoa. Then we went to the beach and actually saw a few dolphins in the ocean. It was so cool! The kids had a great time at the beach (we went a few different times). They loved playing in the waves and building sand castles. Gavin had a blast collecting seashells (he would love Florida for that). He gets that from me I think. I love the beach. It is the most relaxing and wonderful thing to just sit or walk along the beach! Of course the kids loved swimming in the pool for hours and hours too.
