San Diego Vacation

Last weekend Shane had some time off from his rotations so we went down to San Diego for a little vacation. We were totally pumped because everything we did was FREE (we love good deals-if you know of any send them our way) and fun!

Day 1: Disneyland
(FREE only because we already have passes)

Jayden is now 35" tall so he was able to ride his first BIG/fast rollercoaster. He was SOOO excited, but as you can tell by the picture below...he WASN'T very excited when he came out at the end--Poor kid :(!

We captured Tia's new face while waiting in the Monsters Inc. line.

Day 2: Sea World
(FREE with our Military I.D.)

Jayden thought it was cool that the dolphin was staring right at him.

Yes...that's MITT ROMNEY! I'm embarrassed to say that we followed and cornered him in hopes that he'd let us take a quick picture. I don't think he was too excited, but he was kind enough to smile for us.

Tia really liked Shamu!

Our good friend Kimberly (from our BYU ward) spent the day with us. She & her husband just moved to San Diego a month ago. We had a great time getting to know her cute son Carter for the first time. Thanks Kimberly...we definitely need to do it again!

We then had a pizza party at Kimberly & Dan's house. This is Dan chillin' with the kids.

Day 3: Miramar Air Show

(FREE to the public)

We were able to go inside lots of planes & helicopters. Jayden couldn't believe all the cool things he got to see!

Jayden AFTER the airshow. He made us wrap him up like this so that he couldn't hear the LOUD airplanes anymore.
