ONE LAST HURRAH...

We took a final trip to San Diego for the year. The city has been good to us. We've done a lot of fun things, had some good food, and relaxing weekends. Brent had a couple of days off because of Veteran's Day so we scooped up the kids and headed to California...

We spent the first day at The New Children's Museum of San Diego. It was a great time. The kids played, learned, and made mulitple crafts. The entrance fee was super reasonable and we were able to find off street parking really close(hard to find downtown...). The biggest hickup-we didn't have change for the meter so while Brent ran to the bank for coins, the boys tried their hardest not to pee their pants. It turns out that during a 30 second head turn Brian pee'd in the bushes. I never would have known but he left traces down the front of his pants. And Marcus...you don't even want to know that he finally relieved himself under the tire with his mother blocking the view(it's funny now, but at the time NOT so funny).

We were able to Priceline a pretty sweet hotel this time - Hyatt Regency Mission Bay. It had a great pool area for the kids with slides. And Brent splurged for an ocean view balcony. Besides having an employee knock on the door to tell us the people below us complained the kids were too noisy on the balcony, the stay was pretty flawless.

The Sunset from the room...it was a MUST see before we could get dinner - thank goodness sunset was at 5:00!!

 Can you guess where...Cafe Coyote

 A little milk out of the nostrils never hurt anyone...

 Power Ranger Sword/saber

And of course the beach...of course, of course. But I have to say it is Brent and the kids favorite thing. I like it too, but they REALLY love it. So bare with me with more beach pics....

Madelyn's new rock star dress(she found it at  Ross Dress For Less and immediately felt like a rock star)

And as long as I'm taking pictures of everyone else...why not have some fun with the mirror...hehe

Honestly, I really can't complain having sunburn lines in NOVEMBER...Excited to get some snow though - just for a day or two. And really, JUST for a day or two :)
