San Diego









We took our first major road trip this past weekend and spent four days in San Diego with the Rivero family. We enjoyed the cooler temperatures (60's for our friends in Phoenix) and spent most of our time running barefoot on the beach. It was great because our condo was right on the boardwalk so we got to watch all of the people running and biking by, and we woke up every morning to the waves crashing on the beach. We did make it to the San Diego Zoo on Saturday which was a blast. I of course visited my relatives the rhinoceroses, but we also saw gorillas, giraffes, flamingos, and bears. You name it, we probably saw it; except for Lily that is...she fell asleep for her favorite animal - the elephants. The best thing about the trip was just being outside. Mom brought a cool bubble machine along and we chased bubbles on the patio, dad tried to teach us how to build a sand castle, and we even got our feet wet in the freezing cold ocean. I didn't enjoy that so much, but chasing the seagulls on the beach was cool! Every night we got to say night-night to the sun while we enjoyed a cold glass of milk. Lily and I got to have breakfast twice each morning too. Mom would feed us first, and then after Braden woke up we'd get to eat off of his tray, or we just made our way onto Aunt Pam's lap and enjoyed her eggs. Things couldn't be any better in our world!

Your pictures would make a great flyer for the SanDiego Chamber of Commerce. It's hard to decide which one I like best....Ryan "rushing" to the beach or the bubble picture. Either way it looks like a great way to say good bye to all that warm weather. It's 30 degrees in Wisconsin this morning.
