San Diego Vacation. . .

Our first family vacation. . .or as we like to now call them--trip. "Vacation" is a lot different than it used to be--no sun bathing by the pool ALL day while sipping on fruity drinks, that's for sure. It was a blast none the less but I didn't get a tan and I was actually ready to come home to our regular schedule.
Here's the girls getting ready for take off! We were really glad Dad was there to help for this plane ride.We were hoping to get lucky enough to have a whole row to ourselves but that was short lived. She did good on the plane but was a bit squirmy so I'm just glad the ride wasn't any longer. :)An evening on Coronado Island. We had a yummy Italian dinner! Zach was so excited to be back and show his girls around.Abby loved that we all got to share a room on this 5 night vacation. She was quite the goofball. Now that we are at home though she has been having little tantrums (some video posts to follow soon) so I think she got used to having us both around with her 24/7. Hmmn. . .Dad and Abs snugging on the bed after a HOT day at Sea World.We thought it was really funny to get shots of Abby sleeping on all of our excursions. Here we are at the zoo. . .which we really enjoyed. Abby loved the turtles and the monkeys. She did wake up for most of it. :)We found a cougar! GO COUGS!Nice little kitty eating a HUGE bone and piece of meat. First time in the sand! Coronado Beach--it was absolutely beautiful.First time dipping her toes in the ocean--it was a little cold but she seemed to like it. . .I on the other hand, needed to get out as my toes were freezing!The whole fam enjoying the gorgeous weather and surroundings. I can't wait to build sand castles with my babes!We got tickets to the Padres game. It was so much fun and they won! Abby did fall asleep for most of this since it was a night game but we had a great spot to watch so we could keep her in her stroller no problem.Our short trip to Sea World. They are looking at the penguins--we loved this exhibit because it was inside and air conditioned.Our last night on vacation we walked the waterfront and got to sit outside for dinner. There were some cute shops and lots of people watching. Beautiful sunset.A week long vacation can poop a person out!

I don't drop a comment, however after browsing through a few of the comments on "San Diego Vacation. . .". I do have a few questions for you if it's okay.
Is it just me or do some of these remarks come across as if they are written by brain dead visitors?
:-P And, if you are writing at other sites,
I'd like to keep up with you. Would you list of every one of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
