San Diego Trip..and a couple others

John, before Homecoming Dance - Sophomore year. No pics with his girlfriend, Audra, someone didn't order any :(
A couple pics of John playing football. He ended up getting a concussion and missing about 2 weeks of football and 2 weeks of hockey tryouts...
Zachary, Chelsea's oldest, playing soccer this fall.


The following are from our trip to San Diego. We decided to take John to see a Chargers game in San Diego. We thought it would be fun to do something, just the 3 of us. Other than hockey, most of our activities are centered around the girls. With a great deal on airfare, snagging some pretty sweet seats for a Monday night game and surprising John one week before we left - we all were pretty excited.


We flew into LAX and had to go check out the Hollywood sign, drove around and had supper.
Made our way down to San Diego - about 2 hours south of LA. We stayed right on the bay and could see the ocean right outside our window - so awesome! Below is a picture from our window.

We did a little shopping and had lunch at Seaport Village, there were a lot of neat shops within walking distance of our hotel.

Watching Naval ships coming in, aboard the USS Midway.

We took the tour of the USS Midway and this was in the control room. It was pretty amazing to see everything - from where everyone slept, ate, worked.

John, Brad and at the Chargers/Broncos Monday night game. The game was pretty fun, even though the Chargers didn't win.

Pre-game spat...
Ok, this pic is for me...



I thought this boys' sign was pretty cute. :)

We did take a day trip to La Jolla, 1/2 hour north of San Diego and did a kayak tour in the ocean/caves. Brad and John did a little "boogie boarding" - those pics will be coming later, we took them on a waterproof disposable and haven't developed them yet.
