California, Here We Come!

In just a few days, we are flying to San Diego for our first family vacation! We are so very excited to relax, kick back, and enjoy the mild San Diego weather. After all of the moving hullabaloo, we could really use a break. Besides, Daddy starts work after we get back from vacation, so this is going to be a great time for us to have fun with him. We're staying at a beautiful resort and will enjoy the pool and our first experience of a hotel room (a resort suite isn't too bad, we figure). Of course, Mommy will take LOTS of pictures of our trip and post them here when we return. But for now, we thought we'd share with you some of the highlights of what we are most looking forward to:

This is Campbell. We are going to meet her for the very first time. We just know we're going to be fast friends! She is the daughter of Mom's very good friend from graduate school. They live right by the beach and we just know that there will be many more visits to see Campbell and the beach in years to come! She is only a few months younger than us. From her picture, it is, of course, evident that she is a California superstar already!

We are also excited to go to the San Diego Zoo. We love looking at animals and can't wait to go to such a HUGE zoo! It's going to be grrrreat! (By the way, Mom bought us special leopard print outfits for us to wear just for this occasion. Pictures to come, of course!).
And you wondered if we were going to go to the beach! Of COURSE! This will be our first experience of the beach, the ocean, and waves! It should be fun, fun, fun!
And what would a trip to San Diego be without a visit with Shamu?! Dolphins, whales, fish, oh my! We're convinced that this will also be spectacular (and no, Mom did not buy any outfits with fins on them...you silly people!).
So wish us luck on the 5 hour plane trip (the longest we've taken so far) and we'll have a big update when we get back. (And for those of you waiting to see pictures of the house, Mom will get to that when we return from vacation).

P.S.--For our faithful blog readers who are concerned that we may miss the Packer/Viking game because we'll be on vacation, do not worry. We are going to see the game on Monday night for sure! (And we'll have some pictures from our first big showdown too!)
