Our Trip to San Diego

Saturday: We drove 3 1/2 hours to Pendleton, Oregon and met Josh, Kelly and the kids for breakfast at 8:00 a.m. , picked up Conner and drove him back to Boise with us.

Sunday: Terry and I had the fun adventure of taking Conner on his first trip to San Diego. We boarded the plane at 11:00 a.m. and upon landing in San Diego, Conner got to sit in the cockpit with the pilot and tested out the controls. We stayed in downtown San Diego at the Wynham Resort in the "Gaslamp" district (thanks to my parents giving us some of their timeshare points) which has 90 restaurants and 150 stores within a 10 block area. We spent the day walking around getting our bearings and checking out the local area.

Monday: We went to Sea World - got drenched at the dolphin show because Terry and Conner wanted to sit in the "soak zone"! We spent the full day and saw everything there was to see and rode all the rides that we could handle. Saw Shamu, penguins, polar bears, dogs, cats, seals, etc. Conner enjoyed petting the stingrays and walking through the shark exhibit.

Tuesday: We went to the San Diego Zoo, it was a beautiful 78 degrees and we walked everywhere. Conner's favorites were the Reptile House, the petting zoo and shopping in the stores!

Wednesday: We went to the beach on Coronado Island, looked at the USS Midway in the harbor, toured the San Diego Padres Stadium (Petco Park) which turned out to be quite interesting in that the pitcher, Jake Peevy, was being interviewed by ESPN while we were in the dugout area and finished the day relaxing in the pool.

Thursday: We headed to Legoland first thing in the morning, arrived at 10:15 am, rode rides, played in the play areas and shopped in the Lego Store. We headed out about 2:00 pm, drove to the airport and caught our 4:00 pm flight back to Boise. Needless to say, we were pooped when we got home!

Friday: We took Conner back to Pendleton, met Josh & Kelly's family for dinner at Denny's and then drove back home arriving around 10:30 pm. It was a great time with Conner and we enjoyed him fully (he has alot of energy for a 6 year old), he never complained about walking and was a real trooper. Pop and Gram will never forget our vacations to San Diego with Conner and Skyler! Next year - it's Chloe's turn!!
