Grace and I are back from our girls weekend in San Diego to celebrate her 9th birthday! We had a wonderfully, quiet, blissful time! That means there were no fighting kids and older brother drama! Here are the highlights:
* Went to Old Town San Diego and had lunch, made a candle and took a horse and carriage ride. Turns out that the buggy driver worked in Yosemite for years as a teenager. So we talked about the Iron Door Saloon!
* Went to Legoland. Enjoyed the mini lego cities. Had some drama when a 10 year old girl with obvious behavioral issues got onto a tour boat for lego cities and she tried to jump off! We waiting for 10 minutes for her to calm down, reseated her in the back of the boat and tried again....nope! She tried to jump off again. So the poor thing had to be hauled off kicking a screaming. Very sad.
* Went to Wild Animal Park and took a photo safari. This meant we went in the back of a safari truck to to see the animals close up! What a thrill it was to feed giraffes! And we got quite a kick out of the ostriches - which are like giant grumpy chickens!
* The last day was a quiet day. We went for a long walk on the beach and did some swimming.
All in all a great way to spend a birthday!

i love the giraffe picture for two reasons. 1st because i love giraffes. and 2nd because there is a giraffe in the background that looks like it is standing on the other giraffe's ear. so funny (to me).
