Our flight out Sunday night was delayed an hour which sucked, but we ended up only landing about 25 minutes later than scheduled so that wasn't too bad. We had a two hour drive from Long Beach to San Diego (because plane tickets were $200 cheaper) and Jaxson unfortunately threw up. We were blessed to see a rest stop right after though, and he only got it on himself and not the rental car, so we were definitely grateful for that. We got to our hotel room at 11pm which was midnight in Utah, but Jaxson was a freaking trooper. He slept about the last half hour of the drive and then was so good while we got into our room and stuff and we all went right to sleep.
Jaxson is so obsessed with this monkey suitcase that we got him. He pulled it through every airport the whole time and absolutely loved it. We got so many comments on how adorable it was :)
Getting ready for take off
He was a rockstar the entire flight, just watched shows on his Ipad
Conked out boys :) James was kind enough to sleep with Jax every night and let me have the other bed to myself. He loves me
We had already planned on taking Monday pretty easy because we knew we'd be tired from the night before and had a pretty busy week planned. So we woke up and went to a little diner right next to the hotel and had a nice big breakfast. Then we went to walmart to get some snacks and breakfast things for the week to save some money, got some lunch and came back and took a nice 3 hour family nap which was awesome.
We got up and got ready and then went to go see the temple and walk around the grounds. I've been to this temple before but James hadn't and was pretty impressed with it, but who wouldn't be. Jaxson kept going back and forth between calling it a temple and a castle :) It was a Monday so there was no one there and we just got to walk around the grounds and take pictures and just take it all in.
Our next stop was Sprinkles which I had looked forward to since... forever. They did not disappoint. I certainly wouldn't get one very often if I had the chance, but they were quite scrumptious. And it just so happened that we had a gorgeous view of the temple while we enjoyed our treat.
Sprinkles!
Extremely unflattering picture, but one of the only ones of Jax and I
Next, we went down to La Jolla Cove. I had been before, but the area that I knew of had no parking and was just insanely crowded. So we ended up further up the coast than I wanted, but I'm so glad we did because we happened on a huge colony of seals and sea lions that we could've touched we were so close. It was awesome and amazingly gorgeous as we were there right at sunset.
We grabbed some dinner and went back to the hotel and all crashed yet again. We all got really good sleep this whole week :)
