Yep, so I am a beach bum! I don't know why, but my ideal vacation is nothing but sittin' on the beach. Maybe playing in the water. A little.
Anyway, this was our first day at the beach. The condo is about a block away, and couldn't be more perfectly situated. This was Spencer's first experience at the beach, and he is an expert at beach-tasting. The doctor says that eating beach is not harmful to his health. I guess that's a relief. Maybe eating sand on a regular basis would help his digestion.
In any case, it was pretty amusing to watch Jonah's progression in depth. On the first day, he would only get his feet wet. Each day he would progress further and further out, until finally on the last day, he made it as far as his knee level in water depth! Needless to say we were quite proud of him.
A quick comment on the pictures of Grandpa Gray: no, he did not sleep the whole day away at the beach in that one spot. It just so happened that for the few minutes I actually had a camera in hand, that was his post--holding up that rock wall. He actually took a lot of these pictures with his own camera.
Oh yeah...a couple of those houses on the beach were for sale. Bargain price of $4.99 Million.

Legoland, Vacation Day 2
Hooray for Legoland! Grandma wanted to get this out of the way so we went our first full day in CA. It was superfun and we all had a great time. It took about 10 minutes to walk from our condo to the entrance to the park, and about 10 minutes if we drove instead. Much better than the half hour plus shuttle ride at places like Disneyland. Thanks to Grandpa for the fun Legoland memories!!

San Diego Day 1
Well, we had boatloads of fun on our San Diego trip with Grandma and Grandpa Gray! Everything went off without any problems, but boy it's amazing how much luggage is added for each additional person. It is almost as if it is an exponential increase! Trying to collect it all at the luggage drop can be quite a hassle...
We stayed in a super nice 2 bedroom condo, almost across the street from Legoland. Grandpa and Grandma stayed in the condo the first night, then moved to their "regular" Oceanside condo just off the beach the next night.
Poor Grandpa was sicker than a sick puppy that first night! He slowly improved over the week, and hopefully had a great time. The rest of us sure did!
