12 nights in CALIFORNIA!!!!!

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to California, so I am super excited for our upcoming trip...especially since we will be there to celebrate our THIRD wedding anniversary! My husband and I mostly took international vacations before having Ethan, but now as a family of three, it seems just a little easier to stay in the US. Plus, there is still tons that we want to explore here.

I do have to say that I am a little nervous about Ethan adjusting to the time change when we get there and when we return. He is a pretty good, predictable sleeper and I don't want that to stop once we get back. But... I also want to go with the flow as much as possible while we are traveling (want my cake and eat it too, I suppose? :)). We will just see how he does and go from there...

SO, here is what our trip looks like so far! We have planned out a few things we want to see at each place, but still have more planning to do.

Fly into San Diego

• San Diego - 4 nights
• Pismo Beach - 2 nights
• Carmel/Monterey - 3 nights
• San Francisco - 3 nights

Fly from SF - SD and then SD home!

We are trying to strike a good balance between sightseeing and having some relaxing downtime...as much as you can with a toddler. My youngest brother and sister-in-law just moved outside of LA in July, so they are planning to meet up with us in San Diego. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM and explore San Diego together! They may even give us a date night out on the town! WOOOO HOOOOO! Now to figure out what to do on our night out..

Until we get there....I'll be dreaming about this view :)
