It is Spring Break. We have been looking forward to this since October of last year. Jason's parents have a time share in Hawaii that they traded for San Diego and invited us to go with them. So finally the trip is here.
We left Friday April 6th in the afternoon after watching it snow most of the day. We had dry roads and a clear sky as we drove that first evening to Cedar City, UT where we stayed at our favorite hotel chain, Holiday Inn Express. (Nice rooms, one room sleeps all six of us, and free hot breakfast in the mornings).
After our breakfast, we loaded up again for the long drive across Utah, small stint in Arizona, across the bottom of Nevada and then across California to the coast. We left at 8:30 am MDT and arrived in Carlsbad at the resort at 4:00 pm PDT. (I love driving west and gaining a hour!) We are staying at the MarBrisa Resort in Carlsbad, CA. (We can look into LEGOLAND from the parking lot. We are above it. We are not going there this trip.) Here we met up with Jason's parents and his sister and her daughter (Uncle Josh couldn't make it). Then we hit Costco and Walmart for groceries. When we got back, Papa had cooked the hamburger patties and dinner was served. After some fun visiting and a little TV, we were ready for bed.
Austin was sure he was going to watch TV most of the night since he is sleeping in the living room and had it all to himself. I showed him how to activate the timer so that just in case he fell asleep, the TV would turn off by itself. We set it for 90 minutes. If he feel asleep, it would turn off. If he was still watching, he would know that his time was up. I went out there for something about 10 minutes later and he was out like a light. Too much adventure for one day.
This is going to be a great week!
