We just got back from a vacation to San Diego! It was a blast. It was so nice to have a week off and spend time together. We did so many fun things. We went to the world famous zoo. It is so big it takes forever to walk around. We saw everything except the panda, but Alyssa was getting fussy so we couldn't go back to see it. They have everything there. We saw lions, tigers, giraffes, koala, zebra, bears, birds, wallaby's, etc...
Here is one of the sleeping Koalas. they were all asleep but one did you know they sleep 20 hrs a day!
Here is Russ and Alyssa on the bus around the zoo. First we walked and saw most everything then we took the bus around and caught most of the things we missed. Alyssa did very well getting carted all around. But it was annoying because it was hard to find warm water to make a bottle so we got hot water used for coffee and cooled it down. Ahh the joys of traveling with a baby!We also went to Sea World. Russ and I both loved this place as kids. It was still fun but not the same thrill as we were hoping for. We loved the dolphin and whale shows. Here we were trying to pet the dolphins we came close but didn't get to touch them.
We went to the beach everyday. My favorite place in the world!! I think Alyssa will have the same love =) She seemed to enjoy it. If she was crying she would fall asleep if she could look out to the ocean and I would walk down the beach. What a beach baby!
Her first time surfing. =) Most of the week we were at Mission beach but this day we went to La Jolla where I first learned to surf so Russ could try. He did great, stood but on quite a few waves.
We were also able to go do a session at the San Diego temple. I have always loved this temple. It is gorgeous and it is on the inside as well.
Alyssa was a trooper napping on the beach in her stroller.
Me and Russ catching a wave. We went boogie boarding every day, it was awesome. The last day a storm was coming in so the waves were huge, I almost drowned one time. Then it started raining on us while we were in the water. It was kind of creepy, good thing my mom had taken Alyssa back to the condo already! We survived though.
Alyssa playing in the sand. She really liked to grab it and didn't mind if she feel in it, she of course tried to eat it!

Great trip Ash! I miss you!
I love Alyssa's hat. She's so good at sitting up too--maybe she will be a surfer.
Fun fun! Glad do know you can still travel with a little one!
