Mini vacation

We went on a little vacation to get away from life and had a great time. Here are some pictures.........................


This is the view from our hotel room. It was nice but next time we're doing Embassy Suites where you have 2 rooms, it's easier with a baby who's bed time is 8p. Our bed was huge! It felt bigger than a king but I've never really been in a king to compare. At one point Alex was diagonal and still wasn't touching me.






















We ate at Benihana's the 1st night we were there. YUMMY!!!! All we did really this whole trip was eat, eat, eat!













The whole reason we went is so Alex could check out the new California Academy of Science building, the remodeled.......it was a big let down. We did see the albino alligator...he just laid there sleeping. I thought it was pretty lame and Alex was too excited either. Oh well we can say we were there.

















Halfmoon bay was fun. We always check the property and eat while we're there. Several great restaurants with fresh seafood of course!!















We went to the beach, super cold!!







We went to California Pizza Kitchen....YUMMY!


















The last day we were suppose to come home we went to our old ward to see everyone and as we were leaving the gas light came on. It was just across the bay to our hotel and I've driven to fremont to san jose with the light on so i told alex just to get gas by our hotel. As we were pulling off our exit the car died.....we literally coasted into the parking lot. Alex took a taxi to get gas and came back. we tried and tried to start it and eventually the battery died. we had our taxi driver give us a jump and nothing worked. we had plans to visit our friends kimi and allen so I called them and told them we couldn't make it and that we would have to get a hotel again until tomorrow when we could get the car fixed. They wouldn't have it and came all the way to get us so we could stay at their house. They are great and we loved our time with their little family. Thank you guys so much!!!

Your family is so cute Kerri!! It's funny how a vacation with kids still revolves around their schedule!! What a bummer about running out of gas!! Why did it mess up our battery too!? Rude!!
