The Herrick Family Vacation - 2010 [part 1]

Well, the laundry is almost complete. The house is finally cooled to a comfortable 71 degrees. The car has been washed and vacuumed. And the kids are still asking which hotel are we checking into next. Man it's good to be home! Scott and I were comparing notes on our drive home and recalling some great times we had during this vacation. The one thing we completely agreed on was that our 8 day vacation felt more like 18 days; we truly felt like we had been gone for 2+ weeks. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but we did A LOT in our 8 days. I don't have any fancy camera shots from our trip on day one as I pretty much wanted to just be 'present' with my kids and enjoy the drive to San Diego and the time on the beach.

I did, however manage to snap a few fun pics with my iPhone from our time at Mission Beach...




We stayed the night in San Diego on day one and packed up the car first thing in the morning and started our day 2 journey with the long car ride north to Stockton to stay with Grandpa & Grandma and GreatGrandma Morin. Pictures from that visit will be in the [part 2] post, but for now here are some quick pics from the car ride and the best roadside food stop around...

Brody stories...

I know I’m biased, but I really do think my kids are hilarious and say the funniest things. Here’s a Brody story for you... Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues.  Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.
