We're Comin' to America!
April 6-9, 2016
We blasted Neil Diamond on the drive up the coast towards the San Ysidro border crossing. The border crossing took us an hour and a half to go 3.6 miles. But the time passed quickly while the kids used up our last pesos buying bracelets and churros and people watching.
After crossing the border back into the US, we spent the day boogie boarding at La Jolla Shores. And since you can't go to San Diego without getting fish tacos so we stopped at a little Surf Taco shop in Pacific Beach before heading to Marc and Karen's house in Poway for some much needed showers and laundry. The kids swam in their pool and we got to visit with Marc and Karen and Tony and Alicia.
Next was the long drive to Phoenix for Calvin's soccer tournament. Phase two of Spring Break. The kids were a little crazy on the drive to Phoenix. Poor Garrett got to see the Davis's at their worst during the last two days he was with us. Everyone was sick of the car and there was lots of teasing and fighting. I was wishing we had a 15 passenger van so everyone could have their own row! Maybe next time we do a road trip (if we ever have the courage to do another one), we'll just rent one! But we made it to Phoenix safe and sound and in time for Calvin's first game.
The soccer tournament was actually pretty fun. Calvin got pretty good minutes in all of the games and played really well. Isaac got to hang out with all of the little brothers on the team and his best buddy Jake. Jeff and I found Andy Martin and got to go to lunch with him. It was so good to see him! We haven't seen him in years! We sat and talked at the Pita Jungle for probably two hours while the kids stayed at the hotel and swam (until poor Jake got stung by a bee).

One last look out over the misty Pacific Ocean.
Google lied. Again. It was 1 hour 35 minutes. But the route was actually right on this one.
Droppin' pesos for pulseras.
Such a yummy, cool little surf taco shop. It was literally called "Taco Surf Taco Shop."
Calvin feelin' "California cool." Love this sassy kid!
No, we did not make this. It was just left here on the beach. So cool, huh?
Boogie boarding at La Jolla. Warmer than Mexico but just little waves today. Still fun.
