You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy?

Well, I'm no Ron Burgundy, but San Diego was very classy!!! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of being there!! I know that the kids loved it too!!

First off, flying with two kids was difficult but once we unloaded our checked luggage, it was almost smooth sailing. Of course, we still had 50 million carry on bags, but with kids you never know what is going to make them happy at any given moment. It could be a movie, a video game, a snack, or a coloring book. You just never know what will be the right thing to keep them from screaming.

Since I try to hype things up for the kids, I told them a little bit about flying the week before we left. I asked them who they wanted to sit with (in case we couldn't all sit together). Ryan picked Papa. Then he proceeds to tell me this story about how he (Ryan) will fly the plane and Papa will sit next to him (I'm guessing he would be the co-pilot in Ryan's story)! Well, as Ryan is telling me this story, he goes on to say that if there are any planes that get in our way, Papa will have to shoot them with his gun. (For the record, Ryan has no idea that Papa has a gun and I have no idea where he got the idea that if a plane is in front of another plane it has to be shot.) So now the kids are hyped up about flying in an airplane...Ryan wants to shoot anything that gets in our way and Abby, well she has flown before so she is just like (whatever, little dude)!!!

As we get ready to leave for the airport, Mommy has to listen to all her songs that she downloaded that has anything to do with California!! I LOVE CALI in the summertime, I'm going back to Cali (I don't think so), In the City (City of Compton), California Dreamin on such a winter's day, and of course I wish they all could be California girls!! And now we are on our way, but first while waiting for our first plane...we have to mention loud enough for a few people to hear, that Papa forget his gun. You know the one that he needs to use if there is another plane in our way;-)

After a smooth flight and a smooth transition into our rental, we arrive on the island of Coronado, California!!! (Story continues at a later time!! Stay tuned!!)
