Before heading to California we started our fun right here in Illinois -- we left Peoria last Thursday afternoon and headed to Naperville where we stayed the night at Peggy's house and had a sleep-over with cousins Carter and Noah......
On Friday afternoon we loaded up the van and Peggy drove us to Midway airport. The trip to San Diego went pretty good -- we were about an hour and a half delayed out of Chicago, but the kids did good entertaining themselves with some new books, coloring books and stickers.
On Saturday we spent some time looking at houses, but on Sunday it was a beautiful day and we spent the afternoon at the beach with Dad and Bonnie who drove up from Las Vegas to visit us.....
We all had a great time playing on the beach.....
Dad actually thought he was going to rest a little bit while we were on the beach. It only lasted until Rena dumped out her bucket full of sand and the wind blew it all over him -- rest time doesn't last long with 3 kids running around!!!!
After we got cleaned up and the kids got changed we walked up to a "lookout"......
On Monday Jeff had to work so Dad, Bonnie and the kids and I spent the day at the San Diego Zoo. What a great zoo! We will definitely be buying season passes and spending a lot of time at this zoo once we are settled in the area.
Cameron loved the double-decker buses...... 
And the footsie-wootsie machines were a hit with all 3 kids.....
We all enjoyed the sky-ride.....
And we finished the day off with some ice-cream.....
We went swimming a couple of different times in the pool at Jeff's apartment. I did more sitting in the hot tub than swimming in the "cold tub" (as Maleah calls it), but luckily the girls are big fans of the hot tub also so I had them as an excuse!
On Friday Jeff took the day off and we went to Sea World. The shows were really amazing and a lot of fun to see. Jeff sat us in the "soak zone" a couple of different times, but luckily we avoided getting too wet. At the dolphin show Jeff, Cameron and Rena got pretty wet, but no one seemed to really mind and they dried quickly.
Saturday wasn't a great day with the weather, but we did get a little bit of sunshine and got out on to the beach to play one last time before we had to head home..... 
Happy Easter! The Easter bunny was able to find Cameron, Rena and Maleah even though they weren't at there own home. We had a fun morning looking through Easter baskets, searching for eggs and eating all of the jelly beans out of the eggs..... 
Unfortunately the time came when we had to head home. We had a good trip home. The flight was right on time and Peggy met us at the airport to help with all of our things and get us back to her place for the night.This is Rena at the airport practicing her ballet while eating McDonald's chicken and fries......
We spent the night at Peggy's house and then did the 3 hour drive back to Peoria this morning. Fortunately when we arrived home in Peoria this is what we found..............a SOLD sign on our house!!!!!
We obviously knew it was sold, but it felt good to see the sign hanging there. Our next trip to San Diego will be sometime next month when we will be moving there permanently!!!
