This year for spring break we decided to head south to enjoy some warmer weather and allow Jim to sleep peacefully as he was working night shifts all week. We left after school on Thursday and drove as far as Las Vegas to spend the night with our friends the Fillmore's. The kids enjoyed some time playing the next morning before we hopped back in the car on our way to San Diego. We stopped at the Douangaphaivong's house to rest for a few minutes and then get ready to head to the beach. We met up in La Jolla with the Napoleon's to spend some time playing at the beach. The kids had a blast playing together and I enjoyed catching up with both families.
Thanks to my friends for some of the pictures as I was busy chasing a little guy!
We headed to Old Town for some authentic Mexican food for dinner. The next morning we headed with the D-15's to check out the Mormon Battalion Center that has been recently renovated. The girls especially enjoyed getting to ride in their yellow jeep to get there. The kids liked the interactive experience followed by the panning for gold afterwards.
We had lunch then got dressed to head to Kalei's baptism. Whitney and Kalei had been good buddies in Virginia so it was wonderful to be there for her baptism and enjoy the beautiful reception her family put on afterwards.
Soon as that was over we headed for Arizona arriving at Nana and Papa's house about midnight. We were lucky that Nana-san was also visiting that weekend. They put together a joint birthday party for Jonas and Whitney since it was a the week between their two birthdays.
The kids got thoroughly spoiled as always while we were there. I enjoyed getting to play a round of golf with Nana and the girls enjoyed multiple trips to the pool with their Papa. They also enjoyed the little pool we set up on the patio so Jonas could swim too as he's not allowed at the community pool yet. Also we were lucky to be there when some of their cactus were blooming. The blooms only last one day. We all enjoyed being able to wear shorts and sandals for a few days!
