After coming back from Oregon we were in Utah for 2.5 days before we headed out on vacation again. This time we went to Escondido, CA for BJ's wedding!!!! Escondido is really close to San Diego so we spent an entire day there doing things that we have dreamed of doing for a while. For Randi this meant a trip to the San Diego Zoo and for Cassidy it was attending his first Major League Baseball game (even though it wasn't his team that we went to see). Thanks for getting married BJ so we could have an awesome vacation :)
First stop the San Diego Zoo, Here we are right inside the gate.
We were lucky we did the zoo a day later than we originally planned and this way Jamie and Jonathan got to go with us. Jamie loves giraffes so we had to get a picture of the 2 of them with the giraffes. One of the giraffes we saw was only 10 days old!
I enjoy the flamingos so here I am with these crazy cool birds.
San Diego also has a gorilla statue so we had to have our traditional family picture with it. Too bad Alden slept through it.
He did wake up in time to see the gorillas. Here he is with grandpa Norton and a gorilla looking adorable in the headband Jonathan let him borrow.
And of ourse we couldn't let the Garcias pass up this photo op :)
The zoo is so big they have a couple of different bus systems to show you around. We took the general bus tour (it is about 45 minutes). Alden loved the bus ride
Jonathan missed the entire thing. Good thing Uncle David was an excellent bed and pillow :)
Aren't these cousins so cute!
That night went to Petco Field and watched the San Diego Padres take on the San Fransico Giants. It is a good thing we were cheering for the Giants because the Padres got their trash kicked.
It was a major league game so we had to make sure we had some peanuts and cracker jacks!
An action shot. Although it was a long hot walk to the field we had a blast once we made it there.
The next morning we got up and went to the San Diego LDS Temple. It is a beautiful building inside and out. It was a great way to start the day and we are grateful to Jamie for babysitting Alden for us.
After the temple it was off to the beach. This was Alden's first time to the ocean and he really enjoyed the water once he got used to the fact that he was always moving. Aren't my boys so handsome.
Family picture in the water.
Jonathan didn't really care for the ocean. I think this is the only picture where he loos some what happy.
Rudy joined us late Friday night so he got to hit the beach with us on Saturday, Isn't the Garcia family one good looking family.
After the beach we had to clean up and head over to the main event BJ and Shawna's wedding. We are so excited for them they get their own post...
