The only thing we would change about this trip, is switching our beach day with our last Disneyland day. But other than that - we wouldn't have changed anything! We woke up on Thursday, had a slow morning while getting everything cleaned up at our hotel and then headed to San Diego (La Jolla Beach) for the afternoon.
. 
We hoped that by driving all the way down to San Diego, the weather would be few degrees warmer. It was, but it was still pretty chilly at the beach. The kids played in the sand, but didn't get in the water very much. I spent most of the time sitting on a blanket snuggling children. (Note from David - Lydia and Austin were still happy to spend the day playing in the water and I spent most of the time running in the Ocean with them).
We stayed for a while but decided to head back to a hotel in Carlsbad to swim there (i.e. hot tub). We swam in the pool, ate baked potatoes in our room for dinner, and went to bed happy and exhausted from our big week.
We woke up early the next morning and got on the road just as they were setting out the beginnings of the continental breakfast, allowing us to grab a few items. We drove the remaining 10 hours home (704 miles) in one day. The kids were great in the car and even though it was a long drive, we made it in good time. (I finished all three books I had been pushing to get through for my book club, which was a huge win!)
We will write a final wrap up post for our trip, but I just want to express how good this trip was for us and our family right now. We made some great memories and had a wonderful time together. I'm so grateful we were able to go and even though things weren't perfect (like a cold beach day) we were happy together.
