San Diego! The rest.

At this point in our trip Trey's conference was starting, so the boys and I were on our own during the day.  We spent the days walking around town, discovering cool parks and a little shopping. 
There was so much to see walking distance from our hotel.  We went over to the city's Children's Park and watched the ducks & seagulls, as well as counting all of the trains going by. 

Charlie even got a few "hello" whistles from the drivers! 

In the evenings we'd connect with Trey's coworkers..some who also brought their families.  One night we went back to Coronado Beach so we could watch the sunset.  Charlie was thrilled to go to the beach again, and to show his new friends!  It was pretty cold- and while the adults were all ready to leave the kids weren't! 

Trey's cousin Misty lives in Carlsbad, CA with her family.  On our last day there Misty came down to pick the boys & me up for the day so we could visit at their house.  Charlie was in Heaven because her youngest- Ryan, is only a year older & had the best toys!  It was nice to be able to relax and visit and see their SWEET kids.  Ashley & Kylie were very playful with the boys, too.

Since Ryan was just about to have his 4th birthday, and Charlie & Henry's was just in a few days she had the great idea to celebrate with brownies & candles!

We all really enjoyed spending the day together.  It was so nice to catch up with family we don't get to see very often.

Thank you Misty & Andrew for your hospitality!

Back to Houston we go.  Sad to leave this beautiful city but we'll be back!  We have to take these boys to Disneyland and Sea World!  We were so glad to be able to turn a conference into a family vacation. Now time to go home and celebrate our babies' birthdays!
