San Clemente

After the Fourth... we decided to be brave and take the kids on a road trip.  My grandma had a really nice condo on the beach in San Clemente and we headed on down to visit.  Surprisingly, the kids did great in the car and it wasn't that brutal.  It was so nice out there and it was fun to just hang out at the beach, pool and shop.  We even took the kids to the San Diego Zoo.  I had never been and it was so much fun.  You could really get lost in that place.  I think Emerson loved the goats the very most... no shocker there.  We weren't paying attention for a minute and we looked over and she had actually tried to climb on top of one of them.  As far as the ocean goes... Emerson wasn't the biggest fan.  Not a huge change from when she was there the year before.  Something about getting the sand on her hands and feet... I can totally relate.  It will be fun to take her back when she is a little bigger to see if things change.  Wouldn't mind taking her back to Disneyland now that she might actually appreciate it.  Thatcher man was just a sweet baby the whole trip... he is the best.  Here are some pics that we took on the trip... lots of fun memories.

 What's a vacation without lots and lots of Coke??? Probably not a vacation.

 She is such a piece of work... I just love her little personality, even if she is pretty naughty.

 Lots of love for Grandma... Kind of hard to complain about this.
