Our First Family Vacation

We took the boys to San Diego at the end of September to see the Zoo, Shamu and the beach! Fortunately, we were able to see all three and have an extra day to ride bikes from Mission Beach to Pacific Beach and around a good portion of Mission Bay. We spent some great time with my cousin Keith and Tarek took to him pretty quickly.

It was a great trip for me and Jenny because for the first time in a long time, I took 7 days off of work and didn't even check my email once. We were able to spend some good quality time together with the boys and eachother and have our "cocktail hour" each night on the patio!
In one of our finer moments as parents (nomination for parents of the year), we were leaving dinner with Keith when Tarek loudly asked from the back seat of our rental, "Hey, where's the jackass?" More to come later regarding our nominations for parents of the year...
Check out some of our pics:
