Since the boys were escaping to the mountains, Wiggy and I thought it would be a good idea to go visit our friends in Temecula for the weekend. We left the house the same time as the boys did.
We stopped in Corona for lunch at Jack in the Box! :)
Wiggy had been sleeping the last two hours, so she has those sleepy/crazy eyes.
We had another 30 minutes before we reached our destination. We were happy to see our friends! The girls got along half the time. They couldn't decide if they wanted to be BFF's or mortal enemies.
After dinner we walked around the neighborhood and to the park. We watched the kids run and play, while my friend and I chatted away. I sure wish we lived closer so we could do this more often!
We stayed up way too late with the kids!
Friday morning we decided to head to San Diego. We finally got ourselves together and out the door before lunch time. After an hour drive we made it to the aquarium in La Jolla. The kids had a great time!
About a mile from the aquarium was Sprinkles Cupcakes!
Who can pass that opportunity up!? Not me!
Sarah had never tasted them before....so she was converted quickly!
After cupcakes we drove up the coast to Carlsbad! The drive was very scenic and entertaining......witnessing Sarah's road rage! Ha-Ha! Those California drivers are cray-cray!!
We stopped at the beach for a bit and Wiggy was very motivated to get in the water.... surprisingly. I stayed in my shorts and t-shirt and watched Wiggy a few feet away....trying not to get wet.
After the beach Sarah drove us to this Mexican restaurant that was REALLY good....Las Olas. It was a hit...and I'd love to go back.
After dinner we drove back to Sarah's house, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. We stayed up eating more cupcakes...and talking. I could do this every night!! :)
Saturday morning we both woke up exhausted with a cupcake hangover....and lack of sleep. Wiggy and I decided to hit the road for the 200 mile drive home.
We were sad to say goodbye to our friends, but happy we could visit for 48 hours. We hope our friends come visit us soon!
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
