We had such a fun time on our trip to San Diego the week of Thanksgiving! We were fortunate to meet up with my parents and my brother and his girlfriend. We stayed on Coronado Island and were super close to the beach and all the cute shops and fun things to do!
Right after we arrived, we headed straight for the beach. There are few things that are better than watching your kids play in the ocean. They all loved it!
On Thanksgiving morning we walked around downtown Coronado and then rented bikes and cruised around the perimeter of the island on the scenic bike route! Maya and Jacob rode in little trailers behind Joe and I. Gabi was big enough to ride her own bike. Maya is a great bike rider as well, but they didn't have any her size.

| Snoozin.... |
 |
| Beach cruisers are so fun to ride!! |
It was a good thing we got some exercise Thanksgiving morning because we ate dinner at the Hotel del Coronado Thanksgiving buffet. It was AMAZING! There was anything and everything one ever dreamed of eating and all so good! They even topped it off with a 15 foot chocolate fountain with all kids of things for dipping! The kids were in heaven.

| The whole clan headed in for dinner |
 |
| Such a great time! So thankful for my family! |
 |
| Jacob's feast...he actually ate most of it!! |
The kids burned off some energy at the pool after dinner. Jacob loved walking around the courtyard.
 |
| Checking out the "moooooon!" |
Family picture time on the beach Friday morning!
And finally we let them swim in their swim suits!! It was 85 degrees! The warm weather and sunshine felt so good!
On Friday afternoon, the guys went golfing and my mom stayed with Jacob while he took a nap, so the girls and I headed back to the beach for more swimming and boogie boarding! Gabi really got the hang of boogie boarding and had a blast!

| Such a fun time with my girls!! |
We also got lots of family time in and the usual shenanigans. :)

| Humongous pizza we ate one night! |
On Saturday, we went to Sea World! The kids loved the shows and seeing all of the marine life!
 |
| Dolphin show....Gabi's favorite |
 |
| In a tunnel under the shark tank! |
 |
| Shamu show...Maya's favorite |
The plane ride to San Diego was only slightly delayed. The plane ride back to Billings came with a 5 hour delay/layover in Denver. The kids managed okay, but we were pretty thankful when we got home. What a day that was!
 |
| Jacob sleeping on the plane...this might be the hardest age to travel with. |
 |
| Happy to be home and help empty out the suitcases. :) |
Silly airplane pics.
 |
| Why do selfies always make me look so tired? or do I always look this tired? :) |
We are very thankful for such a warm, relaxing, memory filled, and fun trip!
