They were not kidding when they said Sunny San Diego. We had a great time on our first family road trip. All in all, the girls did pretty well on the 13 hour drive. Brooklyn got a little fussy but that was do to the fact that she really did not sleep.
On our first day we went to Torrey Pines which is a Beach near Becky's house. The water was really cold so we did not jump in but the girls got to play in the sand and run through the water.
Later on that day Aunt Becky took the girls to Libby Lu's. They had so much fun. Each of the girls picked out a hairdo, got their finger nails polished, and had their make-up done. Then they each made a cute bracelet with their names on it and picked out goodie bags.
Georgia was a Sassy Princess, Justice was a Rockin Rock Star and Madison was a Punk Rocker.
On day two, we hit Sea World. The shows were awesome, especially the Shamu Show: Believe! Georgia's favorite part was Elmo's Flying Fish ( which we must have ridden on 5 times ). Madison and Justice's favorite part was the "Pets Rule" show.

Riding on the rides at SeaWorldThis is just a cute picture of Georgia and Madison "trying" to share some chips while we are waiting for our turn in line.
On Day 3, we went to The San Diego Zoo. I can honestly say that that they have every animal that you can think of there. We were able to visit the Panda Bear Exhibit, see a Hippo up close, see the Polar Bears and see the Grizzly Bears.
The girls favorite part of the zoo was watching the Otters swim and riding the lift across the zoo.
The zoo was huge and we did get lost a couple of times :)
Taking a ride on a Turtle :)
The next Day we headed off to the The Wild Animal Park. It kind of reminded you of a scene out of Jurassic Park. We got to see some baby elephants,lions,giraffes,zebras and many more animals.
On Wednesday Dave had the day off from work so he showed us around. First we headed out to Del Corondo Island and the girls rode their bikes. Then we drove down to Imperial Beach and walked the length of the peir.

After Del Colondo Island we went to La Jolla which was truely beautifully. We went down their to see all the seals that gather up on the rocks along the beach.
On Thanksgiving, we went over to Becky's house to have dinner. Aunt Becky and the girls decorated notebooks. The girls love to do crafts and each of them turned out really cute.
I think that we went swimming just about everyday that we were in San Deigo. It was like diving into a bathtub, so warm!!
We had a great time :)
Thanks Again Becky
