Mother's Day

This weekend to celebrate Mother's Day we went on and adventure to San Diego. We started driving south, but then the boys and I jumped on the train in San Juan Capistrano while Scott braved the traffic. 

The train was super fun, even though we originally took the wrong train and got on the metro, which resulted in us changing to Amtrak in Oceanside. We disembarked at old town, and met Scott at our hotel. We stumbled into a Cinco de Mayo festival in old town, so we wandered around, had chips and salsa, and toured the Whaley house, which is the most haunted house in America.

As evening approached, we jumped on the trolley and headed to Petco Park to watch the Padres versus the Mets. Julie, Chris, Reese, Lindsey, and Rod all met us at the game. We had terrific infield seats, but the boys enjoyed playing baseball out on the Parkland. 

After the game, we got to go to Julie and Chris's house for a bit.  It was fun for Luke and neat to see what that city living looks like, and it was great to spend time with my Cuzzie, Luke's godmother. 

On Sunday morning, we had a delicious breakfast buffet at the hotel, and then headed to sea world for the day. See world is always really fun! This time, Luke tried all the roller coasters- Manta and Atlantis! We had fun at the shark exhibit, watching the sea turtles, walruses, beluga whales, penguins, Pirhana, octopi, etc. 

It was a terrific Mother's Day adventure! When we got home, the boys all gave me their cards, and Nate gave me a beautiful candle he made. I truly am really blessed to be a mom. I feel so lucky that God has given me this chance to build this amazing family. My boys are my life.
