We come home tomorrow.We will miss the great sunshine-but not the traffic and crowds.Sea World was super! The whales and dolphins were incredible.Universal studios was fun.Some amazing shows and demos about movie making and stunts.Too crowded.
We took a day off to enjoy the beach here in Oceanside.Maddy seemed to get too much sun because she has had a bad heat rash ever since.I had to hang out in the first aid clinic with her on the first day at Disneyland.First they gave her burn gel with lidocaine,it seemed to make her worse.Then we tried calamine lotion-it helped for a while.Finally they gave her some benadryl.We finally decided to have me drive her back to the condo in Oceanside.The boys stayed in Disneyland.Then I went back late that night to pick them up.The freeways here are a scary,too fast and dangerous nightmare.
We still had 2 days left at disneyland.Kim and I wondered how we ever did 5 days in a row on our last visit 5 years ago.Guess we were younger then.Also-having a hotel room close by helped too.We timed this trip wrong.meaning-It was spring break for the local kids as well as for many others.the lines were horrendous.Many things we could never even go on.Kim and the kids waited in lines .I refused to afer a while.That grump gene lives on in me.
Yesterday we went to the wild animal park.It was cool to see the brand new baby giraffe,the hippos,the rhionos,lions,cheetahs,gorillas and helarious Gibbon monkeys.
Today Kim and I headed out to explore the coast highway.ALONE!! Was so interesting to see the scenery and area.Beautiful sights and homes.One has to be rich to live with a view!
We are ready to come home!!

It will be good to have you home. We missed you!! Sounds like you had a GREAT time. Sorry Maddy had sun exposure problems. We Oregonians aren't used to sun. I've enjoyed being with Buddy. He's such a good boy. Have a safe flight home.
Love, Mom and Grandma
