Down South

HIT THE BEACH:  While many Americans spent Christmas morning unwrapping gifts and lounging around, by 6:15 we'd crammed ourselves (four adults and two kids) into a Honda CRV, headed for Seatac airport, next stop = San Diego. 

Mercifully, our flight was uneventful and we arrived in San Diego just before noon.
Here, Annabelle enjoys a snack outside of the Enterprise Rental Car offices. 

Not long after we got to the place we're staying in Mission Beach, we walked a couple hundred feet to our west to make sure there was, indeed, a beach.
The kids got a little practice with a boogie board. They didn't catch any big waves today, but had lots of fun nonetheless.
MONDAY MADNESS: Today's number one on the hit parade was going to Belmont Park - a small amusement park conveniently located about a mile south of where we're staying.  They rode the bumper cars over and over and over.
CJ was a roller coaster riding fool, while poor Bee was just an inch too short. :/ But she had fun on other rides, like this one featuring a fun vertical drop.
 And the one, above, which tilted, whirled and rotated up toward the clear blue sky.
