We LOVE San Diego!

We spent this past week in sunny San Diego, with my family, at Paradise Point Resort. I had been there twice before for fun girls weekends (woo hoo!) but this time we took the whole family and had an absolute blast! Here is our week in pictures:
The view from my parents' room-- not too shabby!

The boys favorite pastime? Chasing ducks! And Seagulls. And each other.

Our one and only Lockridge land family picture attempt. Squirt gun and crackers in hand.

My big boy had so much fun on vacation. He "loves San Diego!"
My sweet little guy is looking more and more like a big boy these days.

We spent a lot of time playing in the sand and swimming in the pools.

The men folk soaking up some sun.


We got to ride some jet skis in Mission Bay too!
We brought Levi's bike and he was able to scoot all around the property.

Sweet moment with Auntie Sarah at breakfast one morning.

We went to Seaworld one day and it was awesome! The kids loved it and so did the "big kids"! :)
Caleb, Mommy and Uncle Bryan checking out the tide pools.

Getting ready for the Shamu show.
This was Levi's face the entire whale show. He just couldn't get enough of the "Shampoo" jumping out of the water. 
The underwater whale watching was amazing. This Mama and baby swam around and around in circles as we just sat and watched. It was incredible to see how big they are!

Getting ready to touch and feed the sting rays.

The day was long and hot so our boys got lots of good rides from their Aunties and Uncle and Grandparents. Lucky boys!

We also got to stop by the San Diego Children's Museum. It was a highlight and I would highly recommend going if you're in the area.

Playing drums, making noise, what they do best.

 We made a stop to one of our favorite San Diego attractions: the USS Midway. We love seeing all the Americana, the planes, the veterans, and the chance to see below decks.
Caleb and Papa taking in the airplanes and helicopters.

In the Captain's chair telling the planes to "Go! Go! Go!"

Having a snack on the fantail.

Daddy and his boys!

On our way out of town, we stopped at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Lots of walking, lots of tired boys, but we got to see some great animals.
Caleb and his Grammy.

Tram twinsies!

One more night stay in the OC, then on the road home. We made one last stop in Bakersfield to see some great friends and meet their sweet little girl, Libby. We played and had some ice cream and then hopped back in the car for the long drive home.
Libby, Levi and Caleb. (Libby and Caleb are about a month apart in age.)

This guy got in some great naps in the car. We tuckered him out!
Long story short: We had an amazing time! We loved our hotel and we will totally be going back there. We saw a ton of stuff, ate some great food, didn't get much sleep, had a lot of great family time, and we are so thankful for the time we get to spend together. We LOVE San Diego!

Grammy and Pop pop agree. We had a phenomenal family vacation. The weather was perfect and Megan is right, we ate great food, got more sun, sea and pool than ever, and had a blast. Our grand buddies are growing up too fast. Can't wait to do it again.
