Getaway

Back in March over Dwayne's break we were lucky enough to have his mom come down to stay with the kiddos while we went on vacation to San Diego. It was only the second time that I've ever been there; the first being very brief when I was 12. It seems to be the weekend getaway spot for most people who live here in Phoenix. One of Dwayne's classmates had a timeshare in Carlsbad so we were able to take the last half of the week after they left. It was so nice!! Anyway while were were in San Diego we were able to go to the Midway (very cool if you have the chance to go there when in that neck of the woods), Coronado Island, and Sea World.

Pictured below we are on the beach on Coronado Islands Navy base; it was a perfect, quiet, beach. The Midway was huge, obviously you can tell by all the planes and helicopters on it. The Helicopter pictured is the kind that Dwayne rode while in Afghanistan to get from base to base. Notice Dwayne in the bunk...can you imagine sleeping in that? Can we say claustrophobia! The statue of the couple kissing of course is iconic of wars from the past. It was very funny to people watch in that spot, most people that would go up to get pictures would look up the girls skirt...would you have? I wonder what they thought they would find up there? I guess it is natural for a boy to want to look up a girls skirt though! lol ;)

The Sea World pics are pretty self explanatory. It was fun to see they shows, the only sad thing is that the dolphin show wasn't going. They are building a new stadium for the dolphins. I guess that means we'll just have to go back later with the kids, that way we can go to Lego Land too.
