This past weekend we were able to take a fun family trip to San Diego. It was a QUICK trip and at times a little difficult with an almost 2 year old but overall we had a great time together as a family. Our hotel was right on the beach in Mission Bay! Landon was such a trooper dealing with lack of sleep, lots of travel and hours of sitting still. It was amazing to me that a 4 day trip required a pack n' play, carseat, stroller, diaper bag, 2 suitcases, and a laptop bag...I felt like we packed the whole house!
We got into town late Thursday afternoon and on Friday morning headed to Sea World. This was a day of "live and learn". We had a good time but made some bad decisions that caused Landon to have some major meltdowns (hot afternoon, no snacks, no milk, 40 minute nap in his stroller and lots of sitting/walking). A sleep deprived, overheated, starving, dehydrated child is never a good combination! He loved seeing fish and animals up close but didn't have much interest in sitting so long for the dolphin and Shamu shows!
Also, Landon is virtually impossible to get a picture of right now! He will not look at the camera if you want him too, so we got few pictures of him looking at us and even fewer family pictures!!!
Watching Shamu through the glass...our first stop of the day
Landon won't look at the camera for us but we got a cute couple pic!
Shamu doing an impromptu performance for us!
Waving goodbye
Fish tanks were a big hit!
Seriously, some of the fish were HUGE
Watching the sharks up-close
Sea lions were fun to watch, especially when people were feeding them fish
Looking at starfish in the tide pool
Smile with mommy and daddy...or not!
The Shamu show
It is quite amazing what they can train the whales to do!
(Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the dolphin show, as that show was a bit of a disaster!)
The net and play area was a big hit!
It exhausted Jared going up and down and running around
Trying to get Landon to look at the camera, while Landon only wanted to go UP
Attempts at some family pictures....Take 1
Take 2
Fish tank fun, showing Landon's excitement!
Unfortunately it was a little dark, so you can only really hear him
I was accidentally recording when we first tried to get our family shots...
proof that Landon wanted none of it!
Another post to come showing our fun at the beach...stay tuned!!!

This post had me laughing out loud (sorry) only because I know the drama that happens when we forget milk, snacks, naps, etc just running into town. You poor guys! Landon is so cute and hilarious as he's just too busy!!! Such a fun post, and I love love your couple pose. :)
How fun to get to go on a little trip!! I'm jealous...although I do remember the hard schedule changes for toddlers! I like all the picture attempts - shows his personality! Love you!
