Sunny California...Here We Come

We have been thinking about taking a family trip for a little while now and were looking to go somewhere around Memorial Day weekend.

We started looking at possible destinations and were torn between two places...one being a Disney Cruise out of Florida or going to San Diego. Since we have always wanted to take Peyton on a big girl trip to Disney World followed by a Disney Cruise before we have our second child and and since we are not planning on having our second child anytime soon we decided not to do the Disney cruise and wait until she is older like we planned. Also, San Diego was having some amazing sales! 40% off of airfare, around 40% off our room...it was a good deal!

We finally booked everything last night and are really excited! We originally had one hotel picked out but when we went to book it was full...bummer! But we did some more research and found an even better place in Carlsbad a little north of San Diego. It is a beautiful resort called La Costa Resort and Spa and the best part is that it is very family friendly. We are so excited about relaxing at the resort, doing nothing, visiting the spa, going to the beach and having a great time as a family. We will make a trip to San Diego to go to the zoo and probably do some shopping at the Nordstrom Rack. The last time I was at a Nordstrom Rack was when we were in Portland and I was pregnant and had to walk past the racks of designer jeans since there was no way I knew what size I would be. I am super excited about restocking my jeans! But other than those two things we have no plans besides to have some quality family time and come back as a stronger husband/wife and a father/mother!

We are leaving that Thursday night before Memorial Day and coming back Tuesday so it will be a super long weekend! It actually ended up being just slightly more to stay through Tuesday with great deals on airfare (not flying on Memorial Day) and hotel deals! I can't wait! I only hope and pray that Peyton handles flying as well as she did over Christmas and that she has a good time out there.
