Road Trip!

We just returned from our road trip down to San Diego for Andy's mom's 60th birthday party.  What an amazing trip!  Emma was so well behaved.  The weather could not have been better.  We spent time with some wonderful family and friends.  And who wouldn't mind spending a week at a beach house on Mission Bay?!  Because of our plethora of photos, I broke the trip up into segments on the blog.  Enjoy!  We sure did.

First Night...Vegas!

What a great place to stop for the first night...Las Vegas! It's about 7 hours to Vegas from Park City, and then another 5 to San Diego.

I think we were one of the few sober people in the pool.  And Emma was, by far, the youngest.

cuddle time!

You can't go to Vegas and not go to the Strip.  Our hotel was about a block away.

Beach Bums

We celebrated Kim's 60th birthday with a week-long stay at a beach house in Mission Bay. Glorious!

We rented paddle boards for the week...so much fun!

We primarily hung out on the bay side where the waters were calmer for the girls (and for paddle boarding).  We walked to the ocean side one night and witnessed a fantastic sunset.

Sea World!

On one of the days we were at the beach house, we took a break from the beach and ventured to Sea World. We know Emma probably won't remember much from this outing, but her excitement at seeing the animals was priceless.

Luckily, we were not in the "splash zone."

The sea lions were hilarious!  You could buy food to feed them and this one on the rock was doing whatever it took to get some food...barking, posing, hopping.  Too funny!
