San Diego

After spending time this fall in the Atlantic Ocean, we headed West on Christmas Day to spend a week by the Pacific Ocean. Gene and Wendy rented a fantastic home on Mission Bay in San Diego, and we escaped the cold and snow for a nice vacation. There was a great playground right on the Bay that Maya visited quite frequently.
Benji, Amy, and Lola came for 5 days to play. Maya and Lola had a wonderful time playing together with their babies and singing and dancing.
I think Maya also enjoyed being the oldest cousin for a change.
We had nightly dance parties (which usually meant a change into a "pawty dress" for Maya!)

Even though Ben would probably have tons of fun in a paper bag, he seemed especially happy on vacation with the Wayne/Tackett clan.
We spent a day at Sea World.



I think Maya's favorite part of Sea World might have been the blue cupcake.


We also checked out the San Diego Zoo (with half of San Diego, I think.) In spite of the crowds, it is a fantastic zoo, and we just enjoyed being outside in December!

We spent a lot of time just hanging out together at the house.



It was a wonderful visit - thank you, Gene and Wendy!
