For Christmas, we gave the kids this countdown. Ky and Kade knew immediately that it meant a trip to a Disney park and were ecstatic. Everly had no idea what it meant. And Krew caught on pretty quick, but wasn't super thrilled. He spent most of our last Disney vacation scared of pretty much everything. But when we told him that grandma and grandpa were going to meet us there, and that we were going to stay right by the beach, he and Everly got excited too.
We had fun counting down with the chart every night and watching as it got shorter and shorter. Then, the beginning of February, we got on a plane and headed to San Diego!
We got into San Diego super late, but the next morning we started our trip with hotel breakfast al fresco by the palm trees, which was the perfect way to start our trip.
Actually the perfect way to start our trip was immediately after our breakfast al fresco, we headed to the San Diego temple so that Ky and Kade could go inside for the first time! It was an amazing, spiritual experience, and one that I'm sure we will all remember for a very long time. The temple is beautiful inside and out!
Don't they look so grown up and so handsome?
When we were done at the temple, we met up with some of our favorite friends who used to live by us, and now live in southern California. They showed us around San Diego a bit, we got some delicious tacos (that came with a side of political and racial drama outside in the street--think dozens of police cars. Yikes!), La Jolla cove and exploring some tide pools.
We ended the day at their house, talking and laughing and eating more yummy food. It was the absolute perfect day!
