We have been looking forward to this Sailor Family vacation ever since we left the last vacation here 3 years ago! So excited it was here! We stay in a beach house right on the beach in Oceanside and every couple had their own room with an attached bathroom. It was wonderful!
Getting there was what I was NOT looking forward to. The 10&1/2 hour car ride with a 16 month old who HATES being confined in any way while also being about 23 weeks pregnant and I get majorly car sick with this pregnancy. So, you can imagine my excitement=) We left at 4:45am and drove all the way through. James drove to St. George and I drove the remaining 6&1/2 hours because I was getting car sick. We stopped in Primm and shopped a bit, but that was about it. We were SOOO glad to finally have gotten there!
Tucker was SO ready to jump in the hot tub! (James cooled it down first of course)
The best thing about the vacation is spending time with Tucker's cousins! He LOVES Miley!
We had to take him to the beach for the first time to see his reaction.
He was definitely more interested I think in the rocks and sand. I think once he felt the freezing cold water, he was turned off to the ocean pretty quick! I am kindof grateful so I didn't have to worry about it jumping in and being swept under.
Yeah...he loves lasagna as you can see=)
After arriving to Oceanside on Saturday, and relaxing on Sunday, we headed to the Safari Park on Monday. As you can tell, Tucker takes after his dad by NEVER looking at the camera! GRR..
One of the highlights of the trip was having my grandpa Sailor there. This is really the only vacation I have ever gone on with him. My grandma passed a year and half ago so he has seemed awful lonely. So grateful to have these memories of him on this vacation. He was a trooper!
Tucker loved seeing the ducks just walk around.
This pic pretty much is a glimpse of how things went at the Safari Park. Tucker was AWFUL! I take that back...he was awful up until the last 20 minutes! Little stinker! I seriously was ready to cry! As you can see by my tired eyes, I was EXHAUSTED!
He loved petting EVERY SINGLE goat in the petting zoo there.
This is my favorite pic! He is definitely a curious kid!
He loved his new elephant he got! But like any 16 month old boy, it lasted about 20 seconds. Glad I got a pic though.
The next day Sara and Brad with their families and my parents went to LegoLand. Since Tuck is a little young for that and it was WAY expensive, we went to the San Diego Zoo since we bought the 3 park pass. We went to the zoo last time and honestly we weren't to impressed, but we needed to get Tuck out of the condo. LOTS of walking, but it was good.
We gave him a sucker almost towards the end and he LOVED it!
He did A LOT better at this park, but he still won't pose for pics.
Then we ended the night off by going in the hot tub again! I sure love my boy! Isnt he soooo handsome?!
He loves the water and will let us dunk him and he can already blow bubbles under the water. I love it!
It looks like you guys had such a great time! Can't wait to get more details on Friday! see you soon!
