the Morrison family: San Diego!

We just got back from a wonderful 9 day vacation in San Diego with the Plas Family and had the best time! The trip seemed to fly by but we managed to pack it full of memories and fun adventures!

Thanks to Susan, who handled ALL of the planning, we stayed in a gorgeous condo along the Bay that was a perfect fit for our two families. It was an absolute blast and one of my favorite vacations ever. Yes; it's definitely a lot more work with two little ones but brings with it a new, exciting element. Avery was just old enough to enjoy all the "kiddy" rides at Belmont Park and she loved playing at the beach with Dad! If she could talk, she would probably say her favorite part of the entire trip was getting to play with Campbell every single day! They played so well together (as usual) and Campbell took excellent care of her. Even down to painting her toe nails for the 1st time!

And I would be lying if I said I didn't LOVE having one of my very best friends with me everyday! I'm already having Susan withdrawals! ;)

Each morning I would take Avery & Warner for a run along the beach (definitely wish I had that luxury everyday) until one of my tires blew up! Since I have the most incredible Dad, he hunted down a bike shop and replaced my tire! He knew how much my morning runs meant to me and what a bummer it would be without my stroller the remainder of the trip. Thank you Dad!!!! That meant the world to me!

We filled the rest of our days with trips to Belmont Park, playing at the Beach, boat rides on the bay, sailing, driving into La Jolla and evening dinners back at our place! Wednesday we were lucky enough to arrange a date night for all the adults and headed to PB Ale House (my favorite!). The good news Jess? I didn't fall down the stairs! ;)

I loved watching Avery experience all these exciting things now that she's a little older. I've gone to Belmont Park so many times and but only now became giddy about the Carousel and the Thunder Boats! Meanwhile, Warner was PERFECT the entire trip. I cannot say enough what a wonderful baby he is! I am blessed with two incredible kids. Technically, it was our first family vacation with the 4 of us! ;)

Friday night was also a blast because Dad & Ann cooked an incredible mexican feast for everyone including Jamie, Jereme & his friend Wells! It was SO delicious and a night to remember! ;)

We stayed one last night at Jamie & Jereme's house since we weren't quite ready to leave this city we so love! Not to mention, we wanted a little extra time with the fam!

I can hardly wait to go back!

He was such a good boy the entire car ride!

And so was Avery! Not a single meltdown on the ride there! We stopped at Starbucks once and she ran all around chattering away & filled with excitement! She even ran back into their kitchen. We were laughing pretty hard!
