Trip to Sea Diego

We took a quick trip to San Diego for Fall Break. As we started getting close to Sea World, Bill and I started telling the kids we were almost to San Diego and Sea World. Cole got so excited that he could hardly stand it, and kept saying Sea Diego , Sea Diego. Suddenly we realized that he thought we were going to see Diego (His favorite cartoon), not San Diego and Sea World. He did end up loving Shamu and went crazy over the endless supply of sand at the beach. We met my mom and dad there and had a great time at Sea World. Hanna was picked to do the dolphin show, but she told them no thanks, she might do it some other time. We spent the next day at mission bay on the beach and riding all the rides and roller coaster. After lunch we took the kids to LaJolla cove and searched for crabs and sea anemones. It was very fun. The only complaint was that it was just to short.

New York, New York

I just got back from a girl's trip to New York. It was a blast. We ran as fast as we could for 4 days to see all the things we could think of. It was amazing. I think that my jaw was permantly dropped the first two days. The first day we saw the empire state buliding, took a bus tour, saw ground zero, walked through battery park, took a ferry to the statue of liberty, took ferry to ellis island, finished the bus tour, saw chicago on broadway and then checked out times square. whew. . . that was just day 1. Jackie was the perfect tour guide not only has she gone the past few years for her birthday, but her spanish speaking skills gave us a great advantage. We took almost every form of transportation, taxi, bus, ferry, subway and even a bicycle cab (we were going to be late for wicked, he promised to get us there on time).
