Trip To San Diego

We had a 3 day weekend last weekend, so we planned a trip to San Diego's Gaslamp district with Brad's cousin Tammy, her husband Josue, and daughter Sofia. We had an absolute blast with them!
Here is Cade as Brad was packing the car:)Once we arrived at the hotel...

We took a short stroll to Horton Plaza since our rooms were not quite ready. Here are the older kiddos coloring in Nordies...

Yay! We got our rooms! Time to unpack and relax for a bit before heading out!

Gosh these 2 look alike!

Me and my favorite little boy:)

On our stroll down to Seaport Village. We thought it would be a perfect place for the kids to run around.

There's Miss Smiles:)

We headed out at about 4pm each night.

This was so darn cute. This older man was singing Frank Sinatra songs and Cade was having the time of his life dancing...

And he loved this little girl he met out on the dance floor. Wonder why?? Look who's on her shirt! (Video coming soon of Cade in action on the dance floor.)

We came back to Tami's room so the kids could run around and we ordered a pizza from next door. It was perfect! No trying to wrangle the kids to sit still in a restaurant. We could eat and have a few drinks - it was so easy that we did the same thing on our 2nd night. Happy kids = happy parents.

The next morning, the 4 Jacobsens got up and went on an 8.5 mile run... yep, back down to Seaport Village and onto the boardwalk. It was so nice to have a change of scenery. Here we are, ready to go! (We even found a gym right down the street! This location is now perfect! We must go back!)

So pretty!

All bundled up!

Came back, showered, and got ready for the San Diego Zoo! The gang's all here!

The kiddos had a great time!

In fact, we all did!

My favorite! Too bad they aren't very nice animals... they sure are cute though!

Our darn stroller is so wide that it often causes issues... the boys had to lift it up so that we could get it up the escalator! Don't worry mom, the kids weren't in it:)

Came home from the zoo, napped the kids, grabbed lunch and brought it back to the room for some R & R. We then had a repeat of the night before. Back to Seaport Village. The big kids had a blast on the carousel.

Pizza time in the room - take 2! The kids were much happier rough housing in their jammies than sitting still in a stuffy restaurant:)

After all of this fun we were pooped! Brad & I had the same idea.... take pictures while we slept. We were nervous about us 4 sharing 1 room. We thought the kids would wake each other up. We were pleasantly surprised though....

That trip was perfect. Kids even slept from door to door for the almost 2 hr car ride. When do we get to go back!?
