California Trip

A few weeks ago Katie's parents invited us to join them for a short trip to California. Grandpa always wanted to take Fox to Knott's Berry Farm because Fox loves Charlie Brown and the Peanuts, so that is what we did.

I've never been there and it had been over a decade (or two) since Katie had been. The weather was perfect and it was nice to get out of the Phoenix heat for a few days.

Surprisingly, the lines were super long, Disneyland Style long to be exact.

This kid doesn't need amusement parks, all he ever wants to do is to play with Grandpa and these two had a blast!

Until someone boarded the train before him and he "lost" the race. It's hard to be (almost) three!

What I didn't like about Knott's Berry Farm is that there weren't many rides you could do as a family. I mean, I guess we could've all squeezed onto Peppermint Patty's Truck, but we didn't.

We saw a cheesy show where all of us, but Fox, got sunburned. We made sure he had sunscreen, but didn't think about putting any on us.

That night, we drove down to San Diego, where we spent the next two nights. This was the view from our room.

We went to the Marina for a little bit and booked a tour.

This was one of those tours, where you ride in a bus and then you drive straight into the water and the bus becomes a boat. We drove out to see some seals.
