Sunny CA

Last week we went to Anaheim California for our fall vacation. It was pretty easy with the 2 kids getting through the airport and traveling with them. Cade did pretty well, although he threw a few fits when he didn't get his way. That's a toddler for you! Coop did excellent! He slept the first flight there, then just looked around the second flight. He fussed a little at the landing but besides that he was happy as a clam. We got to the John Wayne airport and found our rental car, a Trailblazer we named Cindy. She got rode hard... that traffic there is awful! Those interstate freeways are crazy... but thanks to Sally the Tomtom we found our way around. We went to San Diego both Thursday and Friday and went to Sea World and the Zoo. Cade LOVED it! The zoo was awesome, although huge. Sea world was cool too, and we finally got to see Shamu. (Since Cade threw too many fits when we went to Orlando last time!) The sea lion show and otter show was so cute too. We had some long days from about 8 am to 9 or 10 pm and Cade was beat. Cooper did so good and just napped in his carseat. It was easy this time since nursing him doesn't require making a bottle! We had a few funny times, being stopped by the Border Patrol and them looking at us and quickly passing us by. Could we be more American?! We also got to see a few illegals getting cuffed... poor guys. We went to Hollywood which was gross. What a dirty place. Also went to the Santa Monica Pier and that was a neat place full of life and excitement. The ocean was very pretty but the day we went it was really cold. It was great to visit but so good to be back where there is no smog or graffiti!!!
