California here we come

So the countdown has accelerated. 11 hours till we leave to go to San Diego. I am so excited I can hardly stand myself. But there is that part of me that is worried. One of my children is staying home because he can't stand to miss any school, so I am a bit worried about him. He is 16 1\2, mature, responsible and trustworthy. But he is still 16. Our neighbors are going to watch out for him. He will probably spend most of his spare time at their house anyway. But you know.

And of course, there is that part of me that is sure I have forgotten to do or get or pack something. And then I have to remind myself that they do have stores in California!

3 days till I get to hug my boy!!

I won

I won book over at Karlene's blog
I am so excited about it, too. I am hoping that it will come in time for me to take it with me to San Diego. (I was going to take Stephanie Meyer's books, but the waiting list at the library is LONG and everyone else has loaned them out. Maybe I'll check at the school library in the morning).

Speaking of San Diego, 9 days before we leave to go and 11 days before I get to see Trevor!!! (but who's counting)

So I will have Jessica(20), Ethan(14), Jacob(12), and Brandi(8) with me. What are some good things to do while we are there. We will have all day Wed. to play, part of Th and part of Fri (going to see Tawnya and family on Friday after the graduation) and then we are starting home some time on Sat. Might come all the way on Sat or maybe do it in 2 days.

Jess wants to go to Balboa Park. For sure we want to go to the beach. Last time I was in a brace, as I had just gotten a cast off of my leg the day before we left, so I didn't do a lot of playing at the beach.

I was thinking maybe the Wild Animal Park. I wanted to go on a whale watching tour until I read that those only happen Dec-Mar. Or maybe the aquarium. Not enough days and too many things to do.

So what are your reccomendations. (the zoo is out-- too expensive)
