Gertge Family Trip: Part 1

Our San Diego trip
This is going to take a few posts to get even the Highlights of the trip in. So, here is part one.
We left on Christmas Eve & Drove to Vegas.
The next day, Christmas...the rest of the Gertge Clan met us there.
Christmas Eve at the Venetian
in Las Vegas

Christmas Day

Christmas- Vegas Style

The day after Christmas, we drove to San Diego.
(Thank Heaven for Ipods & Movies. Our kids actually did pretty well in the Car)

Our first night in California.

Ruby's is a restaurant out on a Pier in Oceanside, Ca.
Kenny & I came here on our Honeymoon almost 9 years ago.

Ruby's could fit all 32 of us. And they had good food & Shakes.
Don't be surprised when you see us here again in a few days.

Park#1

Sea World- The twins with Cookie Monster

(Kenadee was Way Too COOL & embarrassed to do this!!)


Will & Whitney were not. How cute is that?

Kenadee, Morgan, Chloe, Arlene & a little of Whitney.

Whit was so mad that we didn't sit close enough to get wet that I finally had to dump my water bottle on her to get her to be quiet. This actually made her Very Happy.

Watching the Dolphin Show

(Whitney now wants to be a Dolphin Trainer)...it was Pretty Cool!!

Whit & Chloe watching Shamu & enjoying cotton candy...& Freezing!

Shamu & Friends

Thank you for finally posting some Christmas! I have to say I think I would like the vacation at Christmas time. Maybe one day I can talk Russ into it. Can't wait to see more.

We leave for this same trip in two weeks!! My kids are stoked (that word makes me sound old) anyway, I can't wait to show them your pictures. Dax keeps talking to his brochure of Mickey and Shamu.

Sea World is the best and I have heard the new Sesame Street area is pretty cool. What a fun little trip for Christmas. Looking at the pictures makes me miss the sunshine! Glad you guys had fun, looking forward to more pictures from the trip.
