We spent the day exploring the entire downtown area on foot, from China Town in the south, Canada Place in the west, the Lost Lagoon in the north, and Inukshuk in the south.
The rain held off for the most part. All the walking really worked up our appetite for some delicious Thai food for dinner.
We visited the Peace Arch on our way to Vancouver, Canada and then walked around downtown after getting settled in our hotel.
I guess the boys behaved well enough, because Santa made his visit.
In the evening, we had Christmas Dinner with the Loera clan. Some phone shots:
The boys opening their big present:
All the lights were beautiful. The platypus was very active, who was fun to watch.
Some phone shots from our last trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain before our passes expire.
Connor had a blast playing travel baseball for the first time, and he can’t wait to start back up again in the new year.
I think most of San Diego was at the park, but we still enjoyed ourselves, even with all the crowds. The Fleet has a fun exhibit on color.
We spent the night and enjoyed the water slides for a few days. The brick at Angels Stadium we got the boys for their birthday was finally installed, so we went and visited it.
At first, you just think you are looking at a bunch of dead leaves, until your brain realizes some of them are moving.
National Parks and Monuments are free to enter on Veterans Day, so we spent part of this one at Cabrillo National Monument. After walking along the cliffs, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
Connor had fun trick-or-treating with some of his old Turtleback friends. Gavin thought he was too old to trick-or-treat this year.
All seasons have to come to an end, but Gavin had a really great one. He got to make some new friends, hang out with old ones, and really improve his skills.
