Last month, we packed up the family (ok, well, Mateo) and headed south for a tour de California! We flew to San Diego and spent time with Matt's dad and step mom in their lovely home in Encinitas. They live just a couple of miles away from Legoland, which was first on our agenda. My friends Kim and Chai, and their cutie 2-year old son Kelan, met us there for a day of fun. It was a lovely sunny day which was a welcome change from the then rainy Oregon weather. The boys had a lot of fun there! Unfortunately Mateo fell a bit short (literally) on being able to go on a lot of rides, but there was plenty else for him to do. There was a playground area, train and boat ride, and several mini cities constructed all out of Legos! And the fun didn't stop there! Just down the street are shopping outlets in Carlsbad. Kim and I took the kiddos there and dropped off Matt and Chai at a local brewery. Everyone was happy! We had a great time!We of course couldn't go to San Diego without hanging out at the beach. It was Mateo's first trip to the ocean. He loved playing in the sand, but found the ocean water a bit cold!

In mini Las Vegas!
Mateo's first visit to the White House (sort of!)
Fun at the outlets!
We spent the rest of our time in San Diego relaxing with Terry and Florie, eating great food, celebrating Cinco de Mayo, watching American Idol and basketball, and singing Cherry Pie (don't ask). We had a terrific time!

Sorry to hear that Elise received her wings before you got to know her. We lost a boy at 8 months and know the feeling of loss. Mateo and his charming ways will help you through your time of grief.
Vacation pictures were great! Mateo is so lively and full of energy and smiles!
Love and Blessings, Oma and Opa
