San Diego!

My dad used to say one of two things before leaving for work everyday: "If I could be anywhere, I'd be right here with you," and "No one feel sorry for me or anything..." It really must stink to have to stay home and work and miss all the fun all the time! Rob feels the same pain my dad does. He even uses the second line... but just like my dad, Rob has gotten used to it.

The boys and I flew out to California . . . they are seriously the BEST travelers! Three hour plane ride? No problem. 5 hours in the car? No biggie! It's awesome!

We stopped by the house to get my dad and eat (the boys were salivating over the Mercedes), before heading down to San Diego! My dad had a conference at the Grand Del Mar--we couldn't miss that now, could we!?

The room was gorgeous!

And very ornate--check out the gold-framed TV!

This is our personal hallway (still in the room)

pictures don't do justice!

That's right! The boys took a rose petal bath!

San Diego Temple

Grand Del Mar grounds

They have 5 pools--all perfectly heated! As soon as you walk into the poolside, pool boys are there to help you choose a lounge and take any orders you may have!

The boys were totally geeked out when they heard the underwater speakers!

Oh yes! Drinks poolside! I could totally live this kind of life! They made smoothies to order. I wanted something peach with vanilla yogurt and creamy. GOT IT! So amazing!
