Our Growing Baby

Carlsbad, CA

Well, I still have no pictures because Tommy and I always seem to forget about those darn things, but Tommy keeps bugging me about how I haven't been posting and, since we did have a pretty eventful weekend, I thought I should probably post...
For Tommy's grandparent's 50th anniversary, they invited the whole family down to Carlsbad, CA, for a week of fun in the sun :) So, last Saturday, Tommy and I drove with his aunt and uncle and their 3 boys down to Las Vegas on our way to California! We stayed one night there and Tommy and I did some babysitting while his aunt and uncle went to see Celine Dion. The next day, we packed up again and drove to Glendale, CA, where we met up with Tommy's parents and two youngest sisters (sadly Monica couldn't come down, so we missed her :( ). While Tommy's sisters went to Hollywood to see if they could spot Justin Beiber's house, Tommy and I walked around Glendale a little, went swimming and hot tubbing, and played in the hotel's fitness center. The next day we drove to Carlsbad to meet up with the whole Burnside clan. We stayed at the same resort that Tommy and I stayed in for our honeymoon, so it was pretty fun to be back. Over the next couple days we went to the beach (it was a five minute drive away from the hotel), went on some walks to look at the beautiful city, did a little shopping (and a lot of eating out), swimming  at the hotel pool, and Knott's Berry Farm! We love Knott's Berry Farm :) We went on all the rides (and we went on the Silver Bullet 5 times...that one is my favorite) and we got to see some of mine and Tommy's favorite shops (including a shop where you get to watch someone do some awesome glass blowing and, of course, the jam store!). We also saw a funny stunt show in the "Wild Wild West."It was a way fun trip and super exhausting (I kept falling asleep at like 9:30).
It was sad to say goodbye to California and to Tommy's family, but now we're back in Provo and, guess what? We're getting packed up and ready to move in a week and a half to our new apartment!! We're so excited!

It was fun to read about your trip. It definitely sounded like a good time! I have never been to Busch Gardens but I am glad you two both enjoy roller coasters. I would love to go. Can't wait to see pictures of your new place I hope all is going well with getting your contract sold! Miss you!
