Rachel's House

On a Tuesday in late February Tyler came home from work and said he had the rest of the week off due to a medical conference that all the doctors would be at so there would be no clinics. We had to take advantage of such a lucky break, so we hopped in the car and headed out to San Diego to visit my sister and my brother and his wife. My in-laws just happened to be there too so we got a wonderful family filled week. It was a perfect get away, my sister lives right by the beach and we soaked in all the sounds and smells of the ocean. Ben absolutely loved the beach, and so did we. It was fabulous to spend some time with my siblings, going to the aquarium, beach, La Jolla, out to eat and just hanging out together. Ben loved my sister's apartment, especially the elevator and still talks about Rachel's house every time we read our book with "dinosaurs crammed in an elevator."

That looks like so much fun! There's nothing like the beach, no matter how old you are. What a great family vacation!
