A little vacation

So we recently got back from a vacation to Arizona and California. It is so fun to have a week off with P since we haven't seen him nearly as much this summer. Because I don't feel like switching pictures around this will be in a wacky order. Sorry about that!

So our first stop was Northern Arizona where we hung out, H helped with the horses, and we went to an "animal sanctuary" or as I like to call a little zoo.
I love how excited G is in this picture.
Like I said, a little out of order. This is the end of the trip and look how sweet they are. We drove probably 30+ hours of the trip and they were so good. Portable DVD players are amazing!! Funny thing is G wouldn't sit still and watch a show at home until after this trip and being subjected to show after show and now he sits great! Yes, we are up for parents of the year! But it's really nice to have him be able to watch a show so I can do things around the house!
After Northern AZ we went to Phoenix area and went to the science museum. It was super fun.
H was a little nervous about this but she was a trooper. And so strong!

Ok, skip forward a few days...we also went to San Diego to see our place and make sure it would work for us this summer. This is them standing in front of it. It's little but the area it's in is super fun. The downtown area looks like a lot of fun too so that's exciting.
While we were in Phoenix we went to a spring training game, angels v. someone I can never remember. It was G's first game, he liked the eating part of it, but honestly that's the only reason I like going to!
We taught H a little about the game and it's fun that she is getting to the age where she can understand and remember.
We stayed with super fun B and S and the kids loved being with them and their dog. Thanks again guys for letting us stay and entertaining us so well!
Ok, so back at the "zoo". There is a peacock behind her, can you see it. She was a little nervous of it after it made it's super loud sound.
We also got to visit friends which was great! Eventually we will have a whole photo album of visits with the S family and pics of H & J.

I have a super cute video to post of G in the science museum but it's not working so stay tuned.

Any suggestions of things to do or places to go in San Diego? Anyone want to come and visit? Any fun ideas for our car ride back to SD?

I love the picture of them sleeping in the car. Their faces look the exact same!

Sounds like a fun trip! When Jason and I went to San Diego for our honeymoon we went to a little aquarium associated with the Scripps institute. So fun. And of course there's the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park. You guys are going to have so much fun!
