Our trip to San Diego was the first "Loveless Family Trip" in years where everyone actually made it (with the exception of one sister-in-law who is currently battling morning sickness).
It was so relaxing. I love the trips where you just stay in one place and there is plenty to do whether you go sightseeing or just hangout at the Condo.
The below pictures are taken at the beach in front of the condo we stayed in, which was located in Oceanside.
Initially Madelyn wasn't too impressed with the beach. The first thing she said was, "I wan go home, I dirty". She quickly forgot about how dirty she was and dug right in.
This is in La Jolla where we went to see tide pools and sea lions. We mostly just entertained Madelyn. Her Daddy was the star of the show. She thought he was tons of fun. You may notice that there is a picture in the bottom right of Spence with something that looks like bird poop on his head. It is bird poop. Seconds before the bird pooped on his head he mentioned that he was sure that someone (we were with my entire family) was going to get pooped on by one of the dozens of seagulls flying around. It was him.

This guy had a friend and they did some pretty cool tricks.
Disneyland. It was great. I want to go back. It was a pretty low key day for Spence and I. We didn't try to do too many rides with Madelyn. We just enjoyed the food and the things we did do...like Toon Town, which was Madelyn's favorite. Oh, and we ate a whole lot of suckers...the entire trip.
We did a few other things like tour the USS Midway, which is a giant battle ship the carries airplanes. 
We watched movies, played games, painted toe nails, sat in the hot tub...It was great. Total there were 17 grand kids, 2 grandparents, 11 parents, and one little brother and a girl friend (I didn't get pictures of everyone). I loved watching all the little kids run around together. You can tell they all love each other. I can't wait until the next family trip when we are all together. Who knows when it will be.
