Superman

We are home now (sigh) and back to normal life.  As much as I wanted to stay on a permanent vacation, it does feel good to get back to my own house and my own things (although my pants are a little tighter, darn mexican food).  We had so much fun while we were there, as always.  Don't you just love spending time with family that you miss and rarely get to see?  It's a little slice of heaven.  Paige, or as she is know down there "The Baby" absolutely loved everything about it.

This picture is cute enough and all, other than the fact that I am in it.  Does anyone else have a serious aversion to looking at yourself in photographs?  Yikes.  I might change my mind and remove it if I don't hurry and hit that 'publish post' button.  Anyway...we're cute and all, but check out little man in the background.

Complete Superman outfit.  Cape and all.  He seemed to be guarding the tower while we were there.  He would occasionally climb the steps and yell something out to all us beach-goers.  When the lifeguards rolled my in their SUV, they paused for a minute only to yell out, "Hi Superman!"  No parents in sight.  You just never know what you're gonna find in SoCal.  At least it was a cute little kid and not a weird old guy, which could have just as easily happened :)

So Far

So far we've
-stayed up way too late
-woke up way too late
-hit up the corner taco shop (more than once)
-waved to the neighborhood crazy as she sifted through the recycle bins
-filled up our cart at Trader Joe's (more than once)
-stayed too long out in the sun
-sniffed the hydrangeas
-the pool
-watched several movies
-shopped
-the BEACH

All the makings of a perfect vacation at Aunt Cory's house in San Diego, and we still have days to go.

Outta Here

Busy, busy, busy.  I feel like I've been going on overdrive for weeks now, without a minute to catch my breath or do much of anything besides try to stay afloat.  Ever feel like that?  I guess it's good timing that we are headed out tomorrow to a place where you can see sunsets through the palm trees.  Yipee!  Here's hoping that Baby Paige will allow her parents to relax and let the sunshine in.
