The had a blast playing in my parent's backyard. That bubble maker was totally worth the $22 we spent on it.
Because everyone was in town and since my parents' house is no longer large enough to fit the whole family, we all took turns staying at my parents' house or staying at a hotel. We'd been with my parents for three nights, so it was our turn to move into a hotel for the rest of our stay. My sister-in-law arranged for us to get suites at the Air Force base in Miramar which had a small kitchenette, two queen beds, and a pull-out couch. It was a nice set-up and much less expensive than other similar hotels in the area. It also made us miss the military life ever so slightly. There's something comforting about belonging to an organization like the military to make you feel like you belong.
After moving our stuff into the hotel, we headed to Carlsbad beach where we had arranged to meet up with other family members in town, particularly our cousins. I hadn't seen most of them since we'd left Utah nearly four years ago so it was a great reunion. I was only sad that I didn't get more of a chance to talk with them. By the time we arrived, it was nearly 4PM which meant the heat of the day had passed and the beach wasn't too packed. The kids adore the beach so they had a great time, but unfortunately I didn't get any photos.
After the beach, we went to Panda Express for dinner with my brother Jason and my cousin Justin and his family. So all-in-all, a pretty good day.
