San Diego

We're having a great time here in San Diego. The weather is cooler than I've felt since we've moved to Hawaii and I really like it. The plane ride here with the kids was quite an adventure. We were blessed with an on time and uneventful flight here. The pilot was actually one of our church members so that was fun. Yesterday was our first day. We went to the zoo, the outlet mall and then came back to try and nap. It didn't happen. We headed back out to a beautiful park called Mission Trails and hiked for a little bit. Today was a very full day. After getting dressed we went to Target! I was amazed at the things for sale there. It's all so nice! I looked at clothes for Thea, but Dan and I didn't agree on anything:) We went to Balboa Park to eat In and Out burgers and then we visited the model railway museum. It was so much fun. The boys loved watching the trains and waiting for them to come past the window on the tracks. I really enjoyed it also. It's a small museum, but we stayed for quite awhile. Right from the railway museum we went to see Ratatoille (spelling??) for free at the base theater. What a cute movie! Thea and Landon fell asleep during the middle part. Landon was scared when the sound got really loud. He cried, but still wanted to watch it. The movie inspired us to eat so we went to the Olive Garden for dinner...another place we don't have at home. We were stuffed. We headed back to Balboa park to walk off the effects of dinner. It was beautiful as always. The boys loved the waterfall and playing on the dragon sculpture. I will post pictures after we get home.
Tomorrow we are planning on getting to the zoo as soon as it opens to avoid the crowds and heat. It's sure to be another big day. Hopefully tonight will be a better sleep...Thea has not been sleeping so well here in the hotel.
