San Diego Trip - Days 1 and 2

The last time I traveled to my parent's house in California was when Eleanor was 8 months old. Since Scarlett recently turned 8 months, and Kevin was going on a trip with his brothers and dad, I figured it was time to visit again. We used some of Kevin's skymiles and I flew out with the girls on Monday, June 16. 

I was a little nervous about flying with both girls by myself. Kevin did walk with us to the gate, which made a big difference going through security. 

Ellie had a minor freak out when it was time to walk onto the plane and kept saying, "No plane. Go back home!" A flight attendant had to carry her to our seats for me since my hands were full. The girls were pretty good on the flight. I had plenty of snacks and a few new toys for Ellie that kept her occupied. Scarlett managed to pour an entire cup of water all over me, soaking the front of my pants, but other than that the flight was pretty uneventful.



My mom picked us up from the airport and we headed straight to Coronado Island to sit on the beach. Going to the beach was all Ellie talked about the weeks leading up to our trip and she was not disappointed. She was hesitant at first, but quickly embraced the hot sand and salty waves.







Day Two of our trip we made the short 5 min drive to the San Diego Safari Park. The balloon ride was finally working, so we ventured up. 




Next we took the Safari Tram, my favorite attraction at the park.

Eleanor loved all the animals (which I apparently didn't take pictures of) and had a great time at the Safari Park.
