We flew into San Diego Sunday at 2pm. The flights weren't too bad. Chadders slept for about 2.5-3 hrs of the long 4 hour flight. Thank goodness! It was hard to keep him occupied. After we landed we went to get the rental car, and it took FOREVER. We forgot Chadders car seat, so we had to go to Target and buy one. When we went back to the car to put the carseat in, Chad locked the keys in the trunk! (Yes, I am glad it was him and not me!) Thank goodness we were meeting Kellie and Nate for lunch(a very late one) because they called AAA for a locksmith and saved us $40-60. After eating and getting the car unlocked, we headed to Salton City. 1.5 hrs of mountain roads suck! I was car sick, and Chadders looked green in the back. When wwe did make it, it was worth it! We got to see Erica, Ralphy, Marley, George, Aria(30 weeks prego!), Mondo, Mely, and Ralphy's family(including his Brother's new daughter!). What a great first day after all of the hitches.
On Monday we drove into the desert for Aria's surprise baby shower at Desert European. It was great! Got to see lots of old friends and Aria got lots of cute stuff(including her stroller and pack n play). BTW, they are having a little boy, Jacob Espinoza! Due July 22!
Tuesday we took the kids to the Children's Discovery Muesem of the Desert. They had fun! Lots to play with. And then they played in the pool at Erica's house. Every evening included brushing Hercules(their St. Bernard). Poor guy had tons of matts from shedding so much, he looks great now!
Wednesday we just stayed at the house and let the babies play in the pool. It was hot out, so it was great! And Hercules got a bath! Yay!
Thursday we left Erica's and drove to San Diego. We took a different road, not through the mountains, and it took 3 hours! But, we made it in time to pick up Mom and Dad from the airport. After checking into the hotel we took Chadders to the beach for the first time! He loved it! When we stood him up in the sand, he froze, he didn't know what to do. So cute! No pictures on my phone, sorry. :( and then we went to Kellie and Nates and out to dinner. Great day!
Friday was Nate's graduation. SDSU is beautiful! And we had such wonderful weather! Chadders didn't really sit through the ceremonys, but he enjoyed running around! We ended the day with dinner at a family style italian place. It was really good!
Today was Nate's graduation party/cookout at Balboa park. Lots of friends and family came to celebrate! Chadders liked playing on the grass running around. And now we end with his nap. I will post more with more pictures soon! :)
