San Diego

We have just returned from a busy week long vacation in San Diego. Colin really had a great time hanging out with his cousins and all of the activities. This was probably the best, most memorable vacation in his life. Our list of activities included visits to Legoland, the San Diego Zoo, the USS Midway, 2 Aquariums, the beach (of course) and a lagoon. I have a number of pictures I plan to post on the blog from the trip and we have to get ready for the return to the old routine, so I will keep this short for tonight.

Trip to the Zoo with Grandparents

This past weekend Colin's grandparents from Pittsburgh came to visit. "Mayor", as Colin likes to call him and Grandma had a great time taking Colin to the Zoo. I think his favorite part was the Gorillas because he was able to get up close to the glass and say hi. Hopefully, he is still interested in the Zoo because that is on our agenda next week as well. We leave tomorrow morning very early for San Diego! We are all very excited for a week of vacation.

Colin also enjoyed getting ice cream and meeting the firemen on Saturday. He sat in two different fire trucks and still enjoys wearing his little Fire Chief hat.

More Pictures from Visit

Here are a couple of more pictures from Dutch Wonderland and Hagley that are Blogworthy. Colin was very determined on the train to turn the wheel with his hands. He would get very frustrated if his hands came off as I was pushing him.

The old school house at Hagley was a hit. Here is a cute picture of Colin with his Cousin Keira. I wish Colin was looking at the camera with his smile.

We have a couple quiet weekends to start August but then Colin's Grandparents come to visit and then it is off to San Diego for vacation.

Hagley Museum

Part 2 of the busy weekend with all the visitors was a trip to Hagley Museum. For those of you not in the know, this is where DuPont Company was formed. You can learn all about the early years of DuPont and the making of black powder (gunpowder). The Brandywine River provided the power to the Works and you can see it in the background behind the girls and Colin (who was overdue for lunch). The second picture is after lunch. Much better!
