San Diego

After Christmas we went to San Diego with the Shideler Family. Roman's first trip!

When we pulled up to our house this is what we saw. The sunset was amazing, this was right out our front door, we stayed on "Sunset Cliffs". In the picture you see Mike and his brother Chris watching the sunset and the surfers (somewhat visible).


Our back yard had a pool, but it was solar heated, which meant NOT heated. Even the kids didn't want to swim in the pool for more than a "I dare you to jump in the pool" kind of thing. Though we did get some major use out of the hot tub. Here is Uncle Mikey playing with Ava.

Now I've thrown in another picture of the hot tub, Austin, Kate and Drew are playing with the pool toys. Please take notice of the greenish brown color that is the water in which they are swimming. And this was when the hot tub was still "clean".


Lorie and Alicia playing by the pool. Good thing Lorie weighs like 90 lbs... I'm a weakling.


A walk on the Ocean Beach Pier. The longest pier on the west coast, though they count the T. We also had the world's BEST pancakes on the Ocean Beach Pier Cafe, (seen in the distance).
Mike has Drew on his shoulders and then Grammy and Grampy are strolling along with Roman in the stroller.



Going to the BRONCO Game!!!!
This was Mike and Roman's first Bronco game. Too bad we lost terribly.... it was also Mike Shannahan's last game.

The house we stayed at was very 70's style (noting that it wasn't retro either... it was original) It was kind of a weird old house in need of some fixing up. But, it was a great location and fit us all.

Below is the some of the group who went to the game. (Missing: Barry & Richard). Barry took the picture and Rich wasn't allowed in.... dumb chargers! (I'm kidding... about Rich not being allowed in, but not about the dumb chargers)


This is THE bridge that the one and only Baxter was kicked off in Anchor Man. :)


Roman & Daddy, we went on the harbor cruise, and with my two favorite boys and a sunset, how can you not love this picture?


We LOVE Sea World!
Who's the little girl?

Yes folks this is my husband Michael, and yes he is that cool!


First time surfing and he got up! Ladies I'm sorry, he's taken!
