The next day we headed back to harbor village to tour the USS Midway. It was a United States Navy aircraft carrier and it was huge! The views from the top were amazing. The kids loved sitting in the jets and helicopters but Jeff loved it the most.
We spent the rest of the afternoon on Coronado Beach. It was a really rough afternoon. Ha!
Here's a video of Keegan at Coronado Beach...
We drove to La Jolla Cove that evening and walked the most beautiful stretch that included caves, boulders, sea lions, giant waves....It was the most beautiful place.
We went back the next day to La Jolla shores down the coast a bit and the water was clear and the views were amazing. It was just SO crowded. I guess everyone knows about La Jolla's awesomeness :-)
Ava started to get really good at body boarding and loved it! Here's a video of our girl at La Jolla....
We stopped at the Mount Soledad Cross in La Jolla. It was so beautiful. We've been following the news on this memorial for a couple of years and praying with our church for its future. It was so special to be there and pray with our kids around it.
We had dinner at Candelas on the Bay in Coronado. The view was beautiful and the food was so good!
And our last day we spent at the San Diego Zoo before driving back to L.A. We saw polar bears, panda bears, grizzly bears, koalas, and lots of other animals. Ava was so excited about riding on top of the double decker bus. Keegan passed out in my lap but Ava enjoyed every minute of it, taking pictures, viewing with her new binoculars and pointing everything out.
We made it back to LAX around 5:30 and ordered a pizza by the pool. We were in the air by 9:30 the next morning and back home at 4:30 (losing 2 hours).
It was an amazing trip and we are so thankful everything went as smoothly as it did. We will be talking about our adventures for a long time! And now my babies get ready to head to school this week. We are spending the weekend getting ready for a great new school year :-)
