Staycation vacation...

One great thing about year round school is the 3 weeks of Fall break late September early October. We decided to have a staycation vacation and it was the best week. We had a fun filled week and it was great to have some family time. We spent a day at the California Science Center and saw the Endeavor shuttle (which Ethan thought was SO cool). I am pretty sure they were the only kids in the museum which made it that much better since that museum is very hands on and we didn't have to fight any crowds. We spent a day at the beach, yes the beach in September, it was around 80 degrees so it was perfect. Then we headed to San Diego one day to see the USS Midway, well let's just say the cramped spaces and creepy ship was not on Taelor's list of things to do and needless to say the first step into the tiny corridor and we had a meltdown. Bless her little heart, we only made it through one area and had to make our way up to the aircraft carriers and even that she was not to fond of. Ethan on the other hand was in his element and sat in all the planes, listened so intently on the headphones learning about the ship, he truly enjoyed himself. So I don't think we will be making our way EVER again to the USS Midway with Taelor, I am pretty sure she is quite ok with that. All in all it was a great week, a relaxing week, a time to spend with family and a time to not think of work all week. Sometimes the staycations are the best "vacations".
