Also, Bay got her new glasses today. She said it is a "totally different look for her". She feels very grown up in them :)

I finally figured out how to order a blog book. Most of you already know all about these I'm sure, but it has taken me quite a while to figure out how to make one. Well today I finally did it. It took me a LONG TIME to edit just because it was everything I have ever blogged. But I am so excited to see it! This is about the closest to keeping a journal or scrapbooking I get anymore so it will be really nice to have. And now I am also really excited to blog more so that our 2010 book won't leave anything out :)

Spring Break
We had such an incredible time over Spring Break. We did a lot of fun stuff. We went to the beach. Played at the pool. We went to Knotts berry Farm and spent a day going to movies. We picked fresh strawberries and went to Birch Aquarium. But more than anything, we ate! We went to so many fun places to eat. We have some friends that didn't believe us that we spend most of our vacations finding really cool places to eat. A lot of the time we go to places that have been on Diners Drive-ins and Dives, and we are yet to eat at one that hasn't been great. This trip we documented all the cool places we ate just so everyone would believe us!
Philippes was a Food Network find. It was easily one of our ALL TIME FAVORITES!!! It opened in 1902 and they invented the french dipped sandwich. It was a really cool place to eat.
We love Bubba Gumps. More than anything else, they have the best garlic bread in the world!
Old Spaghetti Factory is a family favorite and Kade was so excited when we happened across one in California.
Trav loves the beach. Even though we were freezing we went to Imperial Beach and watched the sunset.
Bob and Espi introduced us to Tacos El Gordo and no trip is complete to San Diego without at least one visit there. (we went twice :) Best carne adovada tacos anywhere.
One of the kids favorite things we did was picking strawberries in Carlsbad. Our car smelled incredible all the way home.
We happened across this donut shop about 9:30 one night heading back to the hotel. It was the best donut shop EVER!!! It is open 24 hrs a day and they are constantly making donuts. The guy frosting them did it hand, it was really cool to watch him. We also visited this place twice. It would have been more but we didn't find it until Thursday lol.
Filipe's Pizza Grotto was a fun place one of our friends told us about.
Pizzeria Luigi was a Diner's Drive-ins and Dives find and it was the best pizza we have ever had. Anywhere.
This was at Ocean Beach. While Travis and I froze sitting on the beach the kids ran around in swim suits and played in the water. Yea we are wimps.
Hodad's is an incredible burger joint in Ocean Beach. We found it on Diner's Drive-ins and Dives as well. My brother texted us Friday and told us there was this really cool place he had seen on TV we had to check out before we came home. We had already been there! It definitely lives up to it's reputation. Great burgers and onion rings.
Phil's BBQ we found by just driving by. We were trying to find a Target and passed by here. The line was out the door and clear around the building. We knew we had to go back and try it. It was really good BBQ and a cool place.
This was Birch Aquarium.
We came home with sunburns and weighing about 10 pounds heavier than we did a week ago! We put 1600 miles on our car, swam, ate until we couldn't eat anymore, and made some great memories that will last a lifetime.
