San Diego

We took a trip to San Diego in February to see Uncle Ryan, Aunt Jessica, and cousins Ally and Holden. We had a great time.

I caught this precious shot on the way to the airport.

We had to stay over in Kansas City before the trip due to a massive snowstorm. The luggage cart was a big hit for these two stir-crazy kids.

We toured an aquarium where Kyler got to touch a sea star. He has been into animals and particularly sea life so this was fun for him.

We also visited the zoo one day while we were there. We were up early (never did adjust to the different time zone) so went in search of a place to have breakfast on the water. Kyler saw these birds and was so excited. We let him feed them a couple crackers and then when we kept walking he said he wanted to see more animals. When I pointed to a pair of dogs, he seemed a little underwhelmed. It took me a while, but I finally figured out that he thought this area was the zoo.

He had a blast at the zoo. Like I said, animals are his thing right now.

We did a little exploring at a park and nature trail.

The favorite activity was beach time in pajamas. The kids would wake up and step right outside of our beach house to start playing in the sand.

One of the big highlights was the helicopters. We stayed on the Naval base so we saw and heard lots of helicopter, some flying very low right over us. It was really neat. Uncle Ryan even let Ky sit in one of the helicopters.
