San Diego 2008

Well we just got back from our trip to San Diego... we were sad to leave but I think no matter where you go- it is always nice to get back home. Maddex did great- he is the most relaxed baby- and just goes with the flow no matter where we are. We took him to the beach a few days and he seemed to enjoy it... he mostly just slept in his little tent. The weather was really nice- kinda warm but no too bad. Other than just being at the beach- which was wonderful- We did a lot of other fun stuff while we were there... We went to Mission Bay one day and shopped around, went out to eat a bunch at some really great resturants-including- The Chart House (Thanks again Brad!), took LOTS of walks in the stroller (aka: dream on wheels) to ColdStone and CPK, went to church with the whole entire family, played Scattergories with the fam. and my personal fav- shopped at consignment stores (which I found some really great things at :) One of the things Tanner had been wanting to do the most was go to a movie.. so- the boys all got up one morning and went to see Dark Night... I thought it was kinda weird to see it in the morning but it didnt matter because they absolutely loved it. I was kinda disappointed I wasnt able to get as tan as I wanted because I mostly sat under the umbrella with the baby- so the tannest part on me right now is my feet :) We took over 400 pictures on our trip- like 390 of just Maddex- haha.- no really. We also took some family pictures there and I am so excited to see how they turned out. Well- if you are anything like me- after vacation you tend to get a little bummed-because now what you have looked forward to the whole entire summer- is over. but Im not entirely depressed :) because my mom, grandma, sister, nephew, and dad are all flying out for Maddex's Blessing in September- I cant wait! Well guys- That is all for now- keep checking the blog for more updates and pics. Love you all- Hope you are having a great Summer.
P.S. Bare with me- this is A LOT of photos:
