San Diego 2011

This was Ashton's first Airplane ride. He was so excited to get on, and he was a perfect little traveler. He took care of his Elmo bag the entire time. All kids in a car seat had to have the window seat, so he was happy to be able to look outside. While in the air, he had the iPad and his headphones to make him happy.


During our trip we Visited the San Diego Zoo. It was our first time seeing so many of those animals - like the koala bear and the camels. What a beautiful clean zoo!



Mark's cousins live in the area so we were able to spend a few hours with them. Ashton got to play with his second cousins. We wish we lived closer!
The beaches were beautiful with some great play areas. He is learning to swing on the big kid swing!




LegoLand was fun! There was a great little kid area to play in, and some rides he could do with us. He was able to ride a train, jeep, helicopter and a boat. He loved it! I look forward to the day we can return and he would be excited to see all the items made of Legos! I loved the little tennis court legos!






He loved SeaWorld. Unfortunately it wasn't because of the dolphins or whales, but because of Elmo and the huge playground they had there. It was great to see him enjoying himself going up and down a big slide. We compromised and came back to the fun play area after walking around and enjoying what SeaWorld had to offer. We spent two full days there. Mark even sat through the Pets world show. Ashton really enjoyed seeing all the animals doing tricks.






I think one of his favorite things on vacation after our long day was to come back to the hotel room and listen to the Wiggles. We didn't pack his guitars, so he kept using anything he could find as a guitar. He choose his Train track most of the time to use as his Wiggly Guitar. He sure loves to sing and dance!
