End of the Trip

Friday we spent just another day hanging out at the beach house. I thought it was too cold to be in the water but some of the manly men went and did some boogie boarding.  Ellie and I did sit in the pool and spa for a bit. Just as I was bringing her down for lunch and then a nap, my parents got out the birthday stuff. I already posted the pictures of that. She was a little surprised about the cupcake and the presents. I showed her to pull the paper out of the bags. Once she realized there were things inside, she got excited.  She was so tired by the time we gave her a cupcake, she only picked at the frosting.

After naps were over and after dinner at In and Out, we traveled back to Disneyland but this time to visit Downtown Disney. There is a lot going on down there.  Two to three bands were playing in the plaza. Most of the stores are high end stuff. Of course the main purpose of the visit was to shop the Disney store to buy souvenirs.

Enjoying dinner at In and Out

We just wandered around enjoying the night air and the music.

Saturday was spent packing and preparing to come home. Ellie and I were dropped off at the airport.  This time Ellie slept for almost the entire flight, waking just in time for me to realize that she had fallen asleep with a poopie diaper and that I needed to change her right then or wait until we had landed (which would have been another 30-40 minutes). The kind flight attendant showed me the changing table in the miniature plane bathroom and allowed me to change her. Unfortunately she still had diaper rash from sleeping in it.

Daddy was waiting by the baggage claim for us. We ended up waiting quite a long time for luggage as someone forgot to bring the cart in to be unloaded and then we didn't realize that the car seat would come in a different location. Finally we got everything packed in the car and back home. 

It was a great trip. I wish it had been a little warmer to enjoy the beach and water a little more but any time on the beach is just great with me. I love my family and are glad we can have such good times together.
