Our Vacation So Far

It's our last day of vacation and we've had such a wonderful time it will be sad to get on the plane tomorrow. While we know Jack won't remember this trip it was special for Paul and I to do this with him before the babies are born this summer. I think part of my enjoyment of this trip has been seeing Jack have so much fun. We have been able to do quite a few things while we've been here. We toured the aircraft carrier Midway, we took a harbor cruise and saw sea lions and learned a little about San Diego. We went over to Coronodo Island and played on the beach and chased birds. We went to Sea World and saw a lot of really cool animals. I thought the Balooga whales were very cool and the sea lion show was very entertaining. The Shamu show brought tears to my eyes...probably a side effect of pregnancy, but I thought it was so cool. Paul, Megan and I hadn't been to Sea World since we were much younger so we all had a great time. Jack enjoyed it a lot too.  But of all we've done so far Jack has a select few favorites. A few of Jack's favorite things. Watching birds fly around and land close to him, then chasing them. Opening and closing the door in our hotel room. Riding the bus from Los Angeles to San Diego. And playing in the sand on the beach. I guess at his age it really is about the simple things in life. Often when we would point out an F-18 taking off or a cool boat or something, he would see a bird first and think that was the coolest and not even pay attention to what we thought was cool. This isn't to say he hasn't enjoy the other things we've done because he definitely has, just that these were are his favorite. Off to Balboa Park for today, we'll see what adventures we can find.
