Carlsbad

Our trip to California got off to a slightly rocky start. We were about 40 minutes from my in laws and we had stopped at a rest area when Jonah puked all over himself and his car seat. So we got Jonah cleaned up but his car seat had puke in every little crevice so we had to put him in the seat next to it. He thought he was a hot shot and curled up and went to sleep.



The next day we headed over to Legoland. Let me just say that Jonah was the biggest BUTT and we ended up only staying an hour. He whined the entire time we were there. Plus all the rides had about 60 minute waits, which did not help matters.



All the rides looked pretty interesting so we will have to go back real soon to check it out.



Jonah happy on one of the two rides we went on while we were there.



After Legoland we headed back to my in laws condo and decided to hit the beach. This was Jonahs first time at the beach and when we first got there he wasn't to sure of the sand. I don't know why he was all weirded out by it since he has played in sand before. He kept grabbing mine and Sue's hands and just hanging between us so he wouldn't touch the sand.



Once we got him down to the wet sand he was fine.



He loved the water and wanted to get in right away.



He kept me and Joe in the water holding his hands for quite a while.



He loved the waves hitting him and almost knocking him over.



When he was done playing in the water he decided to give the sand a second chance. He had fun building sand castles with his daddy and grandpa.



We went to downtown Carlsbad after the beach and ate dinner at a yummy pizza place. Afterwards we walked around and checked out the shops.



They have a commuter train that runs right through there and Jonah LOVED it. I think we watched three trains go by while we were down there.



He had fun hanging out with his grandpa!



And with his grandma (or Dot as he calls her, lol)



When it was time for bed he wanted to walk to the beach again, so we took him down there. He just stood there and stared at the water while the grown ups talked for a good five minutes. If you know Jonah the you know that is VERY rare. We walked over to the jetty and he sat in my lap and fell asleep listening to the waves crashing on the rocks. It was pretty sweet.



The next morning before we left to go home we went for a walk by the lagoon. Jonah's new favorite thing is to go on walks and make us carry him on our shoulders.



He had fun climbing on all the rock and giving me a heart attack.



Waiting with daddy for the train to go by again.



Pretending he was asleep so we wouldn't leave.



This picture pretty much describes his attitude the entire time we were there.



The view from my in laws house. Sweet!!!

We had a lot of fun out there visiting Jonah's grandma and grandpa. Hopefully we will be out there a lot this summer to visit them and enjoy the beach!
