Those suitcases back there were packed to the brim - just under 50lbs for each of them!
We made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare, we don't like to cut it too close so we always give ourselves plenty of time.
The boys love to watch the planes coming and going, so they spent lots of time at the windows.
They're turning into traveling pros - we get to our seat and get the ipads and headphones out. They wanted to watch Netflix, so we had to remind them how Netflix and several other things require the Internet which they didn't have on the plan (I know...first world problems).
We had one stop on our flight, but didn't have to change planes. It was my first time of having a layover but not having to get off the plane. We were probably on the ground for about 30 minutes and were able to move closer to the front of the plane and stand to stretch our legs. Then, the flight from Phoenix to San Diego was short, only 45 minutes.
After getting our rental car, we headed to our rental condo. We were all excited to finally be in San Diego and thrilled to check into our home for the next week. Our balcony overlooked the bay - we'll spend a lot of time here!
I bought a selfie stick to take with us to Colorado and San Diego...I forgot it for our Colorado trip but remembered it this time! Now we just have to master it!
It was so nice to have the kitchen in our condo, we also had two bedrooms and bathrooms down the hallway.
Before we headed out to get dinner and groceries, we had to go out to the bay.
I did some searching on Yelp for a nearby dinner spot and we settled on a place the received rave reviews for their fish tacos. We cruised by three times looking for the restaurant, then finally realized it was the food stand where all the people were. We decided to give it a try, and the food was great, but it's a challenge to eat at a food stand with two little boys. Liam wanted to take dinner back to our condo so we could sit at a table, Karsten was too busy watching people to eat. We eventually took our food across the street to a patio attached to the grocery store we were going to shop at. It ended up being a good dinner - we were all just tired and a bit hangry.
After putting our groceries away, we headed two blocks away to the beach.
The beach was gorgeous with a nice cool breeze. And look, we're getting better at the selfie stick!
We didn't plan for the boys to get 'in' the water, so we didn't have them change into their trunks when we went to the beach.
After playing for a bit, Liam's jean shorts were pretty wet, and he was NOT happy. He managed to get over it, but there were some tears because he wanted his swim trunks and wasn't happy that we wouldn't be coming back to the beach tonight if we went home to change.
Scott and Karsten had fun playing catch on the beach.
The boys had so much fun in the crashing waves, they would stand in the water or try to run away when the water came in. Endless fun!
He wasn't too upset about being wet.
It was a great first day of vacation - we're going to have a great week!
