Stay-Vacation with the Eggett's

So my family (Dad, Mom and Kimberly) drove into town on Thursday, April 19, but we didn't see them until Saturday. Saturday morning Ammon and I drove to San Clemente where my parents treated us to our annual Income Tax Return meal out. It's always been dinner in the past, but because of schedules, this year we did breakfast at IHOP! While looking at the menu, Lina learned that Americans can eat ENORMOUS (in quantity and calorie) breakfasts!

Saturday was the day before JD and Maia's 1st birthday, and the day of their birthday party! After breakfast, we ran a few errands then headed to Alan and Shelly's house to help set up for the party. Elise had planned a very cute Circus themed party!




On Sunday we went to church, then visited some local San Diego places. First we went to the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum because Kimberly loves airplane everything :)




Next we went to Balboa Park, not remembering that it was Earth day. After about 20 minutes in bad traffic and a VERY quick walk around, we decided it wasn't worth fighting the huge crowds and headed to Children's Beach to see the seals and to La Jolla to see the paragliders. We had Ross and Jane McCollum over for dinner that night. That night our feet were tired, but we were looking forward to another day of fun!

Monday we went to the Carlsbad Tulip Festival. The colors were beautiful and we had a wonderful time! After the flower fields, we went to the beach and ate lunch.

JD absolutely LOVED being swung!


Beautiful Flag of flowers

After lunch, we headed back to San Diego to visit the Midway Aircraft Carrier.

Kimberly and Dad did a pilot simulation and had a lot of fun!

There was a plane that you could actually sit in. Kimberly loved checking out all the airplane gadgets!

On Wednesday, the Johnson's came to San Diego and we all went to the San Diego Zoo together.



We had such a wonderful time with my family! We're so glad they could come and we could show them the beautiful city that is our home! We're already looking forward to their next trip here in August!
