San Diego 2010-Day 1

Travel: We left our house at 6:15am, drove too far on Stoney Trail, missed the turn into the park and fly, stood in the wrong WestJet line at the airport, but no line at customs and security. They searched our carry-on bags, swabbed our hands (???) and gave the kids dirty looks for touching the sides of the metal detector. We waited for half an hour at the gate and then...


Sorry, Mom. This DS game is too good to look up for a photo.
The Little One gets cozy with the complete stranger sitting beside us.

We arrived about 2 hours too early to check into our vacation rental, so we went for breakfast (at 1 in the afternoon) at IHOP and then headed to the beach.

New sunglasses for everyone...



...except for this boy, who refuses to wear them.




Honestly, none of us can remember what we did that evening. I think we just settled in, watched TV, ate popcorn and went to bed. Sounds lame, but the days that followed were action packed! Just wait...

WooHoo! Vacation post!! LOVE IT. This was only the first day and it already sounds like fun (minus the hiccups at the very beginning...). Can't wait to read more!

Not lame at ALL. That's what first days are for...relaxing and settling in to your new *temporary* home. Our first full day on our trip (not even a travel day) was spent buying groceries! Hahaha.

Those hiccups at the beginning are what sometimes make me think 'is travelling worth it'?. I'm guessing your posts to come are going to prove that YES, it is!
