The Hixon Family: San Diego!

Kevin's dad, Phil, lives in San Diego, so we took the boys out for a 9 day visit! We were so nervous about flying out there and were really hoping the boys would do ok. They actually did great! We totally forgot to take pictures of their first airplane ride :( Here is what we did all week:

Wednesday 7/21

We flew out to San Diego. We got through security and into the terminal with no meltdowns. They both got a little fussy while we were waiting to get on the plane, but we got them to sleep until we boarded the plane. The boys did great on the plane and everyone around us was so nice! Once we got to San Diego, our first stop had to be In -n -Out Burger!

Then,we headed to Kevin's dads house to settle in while he went back to work for awhile. When he got off, we headed up to Rock Bottom Brewery for dinner.

Cute shirts I found at Old Navy! They say "Don't bother me, I'm on vacation"

Phil had to work today, so Kevin and I took the boys to Mission San Diego. It was a small mission but had a lot of cool things to look at. They are excavating it still, so that was really neat to see.

That night we went to Oggi's pizza. It was so good! Bryce was so tired, he fell asleep during dinner with his hand in his mouth! We thought it was so cute!

Friday 7/23

Sea World! We took the boys to Sea World today! We discovered once we got there that they are not very stroller friendly. You can not take any strollers into the shows or into some of the exhibits. We didn't want to constantly take the boys in and out of the stroller, so we only went in a few non-stroller things. We will have to take the boys back in a few years when they can really enjoy it.

In the Shark exhibit. Bryce was not happy, it was really dark in there, so we think he got a little scared.

We bought the boys little Shamu stuffed animals, so they will remember their first visit to Sea World!

Saturday 7/24

Today we went out to the Del Mar Horse Races. It was packed, so we just found a spot in the restaurant and hung out there. We could see the paddock, so we would show the boys the horses we when we down there. The slept on and off while we were there, so we only got 1 picture. We didn't win any money, but had fun betting on horses with funny names!

Sunday 7/25

The boys are 4 months old! We can't believe how time has flown by! Today we wanted to go on a tour of Petco Park, but when we got down there, it was crazy because of Comic Con. Instead we headed to La Jolla for lunch and to walk along the coast.

Love him!

Don't the boys look so cute in their sunglasses!?!

Kevin sprained his ankle while we were walking, so we had to cut our day a little short.

Monday 7/26

We took the boys down to Petco Park again today for a tour, but decided that Kevin's ankle wouldn't hold up for all the walking. So, we decided to head down to Seaport Village to have lunch and walk around a bit.

Bryce got to try some ice cream. Cade was sleeping so he missed out, we owe him big time!

Tuesday 7/27

Busy day! Kevin went and played golf with his brother and dad at Torrey Pines. He was so excited because the US Open was held at this golf course one year. The boys and I just hung out at home, but went to the course to meet everyone for lunch.

We got the boys cute oneies that said "Daddy's future caddy in training". The boys and Kevin in front of the Torrey Pines sign.

That evening we went to the San Diego Padres game! Cade absolutely loved watching the game. He couldn't take his eyes off the field the whole night! Bryce was really fussy when we first got there. After we got him settled down, he enjoyed watching the people around us more than watching the game. We had a great time at the boys first baseball game!

Love this picture!!!!

Bryce finally happy to be at the game

Wednesday 7/28

Our 3 year anniversary!

We decided to take it easy today, so we ran a few errands and then took the boys to Phil's work to meet his co-workers. Oh course, everyone thought the boys were adorable! We also ate our anniversary lunch at In-N-Out Burger!

Then we took the boys to the ocean so we could put their feet in the Pacific Ocean for the first time! It was freezing, but the boys didn't seem to mind!

Phil watched the boys, so Kevin and I could go out and enjoy our anniversary! We ate dinner at a seafood restaurant on Coronado Island called Peohe's. We sat facing the bay and downtown while we enjoyed some yummy sushi!
