San Diego Vacation

The day after Christmas, we headed to the airport and flew to San Diego. We were so blessed to be given tickets for our Christmas present from my parents and Grandma Vera. The whole trip was jammed packed with activities and went by way too quickly. From visiting with my Grandma, to seeing old high school church friends, to seeing my friend Jamie and her daughter Hailey in Murrietta, to going to Child's Play with my sister and her kids, to going to Aztec basketball games, Lake Murray, La Jolla Cove and the Holiday Bowl parade...we did just about everything you can in six days. We came back happily exhausted.

Brooklyn met "Great" for the first time
