Right now I am sitting in a private villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We are in San Diego and are having a marvelous time. We spent the entire day at Sea World and Avelyn was amazed by all the creatures we saw. We have never really done the “family vacation” thing before but it’s going pretty well. An ornery three year-old can be a bit challenging to lug around even the most idyllic of destinations but we’re finding the fun in between the meltdowns and bad attitudes.
Tomorrow we’re off to the Zoo. And for now, I’m off to lounge on the bed while Steve and Avelyn are out for a dip in the pool.
*We left Karenna at home with her Nana. Judge not, lest ye be judged!

Oh great to see what fun you’re having! Avelyn looks more like her Dad all the time – tall & lanky; Steve looks like a lad from ‘down-under’ & are those freckles I see on your nose already? Fun in the sun!!
Enjoy!
Special time with mom and dad only gets harder to find. Enjoy this time with Avelyn. I’m sure that karenna and nana are having a blast.
I’m sure Avelyn is loving the one on one time with her parents! And I’m sure Karenna is soaking in her one on one time with Nana! I would have done the same thing. Enjoy!!! :)
That’s so awesome!!! I think it’s great you left Karenna. Avelyn will have an awesome memory of a trip with just the two of you!!
We left Hola at home last year (1 yr old) while we took Rt (4 then) to Disneyland for the first time. It was wonderful having that time all for just him.
Enjoy!
Heading to Dland on Sunday with both. Lord help us!!!!!
No judgment at all! You deserve the one-on-one time.
Looks like a beautiful time. So glad you get to do this.
We were just there on Sunday, too funny! Brooklyn loved the pet show! Enjoy your trip with one child. It gets crazy with 3 even when they are older.
You didn’t specify who was having the bad attitude and meltdowns–just checking! Have a wonderful time with just Avelyn–she is probably old enough to remember this for a while. I am so glad you are able to have this break and that you are being treated so well. Take time to rest for yourself and baby #3. I hope you don’t spend as much time crying in the bathrooms as I did on our memorable family vacations. Love to you all.
So glad you are having fun! You are in my home town and it’s neat to see someone enjoying something I take for granted. Since I am here everyday I forget how really cool San Diego is and that people actually want to come and visit. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Side Note: we just went to NY and visited the Central Park Zoo and I was soooooo disappointed. The San Diego zoo is so much better…I hope you enjoy it!
So glad you are having fun! The pictures are great! We always enjoy our “child-less” or “one” child holidays!
I JUST got back from San Diego – missing it already. You HAVE to take Avelyn to LegoLand (if you have time) . My 2.5 year old loved it -almost as much as I did!
Bad attitudes & meltdowns are ILLEGAL in California!
Make sure Avelyn knows that if she has one more she will magically appear in Summerland and Kaile will take her place!!!!
Soak in those sunny rays and take some chill time. I’m really glad you guys are making making memories! OHHH do you have any delay time at YVR on your flight back? Let me know. love, KK
Ohhhh have FUN!
This is totaly off blog- topic, but did you know that you look freakishly similar to Chyler Leigh from Grey’s Anatomy? She dyed her hair blond, and I swear she is your secret twin. You should totally ask your parents…
