Presidents Day in So Cal

Over Presidents day we headed to Southern California for the long weekend. We stayed with Andy's old college roommate Clay and his wonderful family. We love the Gardners!! Talia was in absolute heaven playing with their little girl Peyton. They were constantly in princess dresses and living the little girl dream. It was so fun to reunite with our buddies from BYU days. The Gharrings came to hang out as well and it was so nice to see them after so long.  It was a good reminder that we need to do a better job at keeping in touch!

McEwen's, Gardner's, Gharrings! Love this pic with all of our kids :)

We left San Clemente for a day and headed to SD. We hung out at the Harbor and went on all the ships. Andrew especially loved exploring the "pirate ships" and the submarine.

The kids couldn't believe how small the sleeping quarters were on these ships. This little room had dress up for the kids to pretend they were immigrants.

The canon was a huge hit, at first Andrew was scared it might go off but once he realized it was safe, he couldn't stop playing with it.

The submarine was closterphobic! It was tiny, and seeing Andy try and go through these tiny spaces was a riot. The kids of course loved that part the best.

since we were down by the harbor we decided to go to Anthony's for some fish and chips and that just added to the experience.

We can't go to SD without stopping in La Jolla. Our absolute favorite place. We saw the sea lions and also went to the cove at low tide for the kids to explore.

My wild child decided to climb up a tree and the look on her face is priceless! It was a fun weekend getaway. Everytime we go to CA we wish we lived there. It really is so beautiful. I hope that we are able to go back soon!
