We took Monday and Tuesday off from work and hit the beach in San Diego! It was amazing weather and the water is SOOOO warm! Gabby and Gordon were out in the ocean boogie boarding or body surfing most of the time. Gabby got a once in a lifetime opportunity and had a seal pop up right next to her! She got to see and swim with a wild seal!!! Gabby is really learning to dive into the waves and to ride the boogie board - it is fun to watch.
Lilly, Maddy and I hang out in the smaller waves. Lilly loves to add rocks and seashells to her collection and Maddy just loves to play in the sand and small waves...and take everything she can out of the beach bag and put it on the sand!
The weather was so warm and amazing that we were actually at the beach by 9am the first morning and before 8am in the second morning! We stayed until noon both days!!! It was nice to have the beach to ourselves for a little bit and then the kids found friends and that was fun as well.
We hit the zoo both days as well because Lilly really wanted to see the Rhino and Hippos. It was warm inland and the escalators/skyfari was not working so it made for a long walk but we had great elephants and lion sightings. Lilly's favorite part of the trip was playing at Ocean Aire Park. That was the park that we would always take Gabby to when we lived there and Lilly just loved it. There were a lot of kids, fun things for her to climb on and she keeps asking if and when we are going back :)
All in all - it was a great trip and we had a lot of fun. We are looking forward to going back next week!
