VACATION (USS Midway, Legoland, Disneyland, Robbie's birthday)

Hello to you all. We are back from the 11 day vacation and we are trying to get back to a normal routine again. We had a good time our trip, glad we decided to fly instead of drive. We loved the 2 days in Legoland instead of the car. We took a ton of pictures almost 600 to be exact. I will make a slide show of some of them so you can see a glimpse of our trip.

We left Sat. Oct.3, 2009 at 5 am to catch the plane that left at 625 am. We left and all went well until we got to SLC. We changed planes and got going. Well we stopped on the runway for almost 3 hours. After waiting for so long they had to take us back to the gate and add more fuel and then the radio broke and by the time we got back to the runway they had lost our flight plans so they had to get them back into the system. It was a mess. We made it to San Diego finally, late to pick up the rental car. We are off.... First stop USS Midway, the boys love this big boat. So much to see and do. We had a great afternoon there. Off we go to destination number 2, the motel in Carlsbad. We pulled in and thought wow!!! what a nice place. They had the best beds and pillows I have ever slept on. Sunday, we awaken and head to Legoland for the day. Boys had a BLAST!!! We spent all day there and also all day on Monday. We found the best Greek food ever in Carlsbad, can't wait to go back there. Tuesday we woke up and loaded back in the car and off to Disneyland we go. Everyone was waiting for us, we seem to be the slow ones of the bunch. We spent Tuesday through Sunday playing at Disneyland and California Adventure. Thursday night we did the trick or treating which is so much fun.

Sunday was Robbie's birthday. We had a great time going back to both parks and catching the things we didn't do or the things we wanted to do again. I can't believe my baby is 10 that is so crazy.

Monday we flew home and yet again had a delay in SLC we were supposed to be in Casper at 9 pm and didn't arrive until 11 pm.

All in all we had a great trip. Thank you to Mom, Jack, Shad, Jenny, Drew, Emma and Luke.

Glad you had such a good time! Wish we could have been there with you to help Robbie celebrate. Josh said the other day when we drove by your "old" house that he wondered what Robbie was doing lately. Happy belated birthday to Robbie for us.
