After months of planning and keeping the secret, we finally revealed to the boys on Christmas morning that on January 6th we are all getting on a plane and heading off to San Diego, California. We never thought that it would be possible for us to do this, but with some help for flights and hotels, we are making the boys' dreams come true and heading to Legoland. We hadn't even had a trip to anywhere as something on our radar of financial priorities, but this was an opportunity that we couldn't pass up. My parents had decided to help us out with some of it, and they will be coming with us too!
We're planning on spending 3 days in Legoland (staying in a hotel across the street), and then we will move right into San Diego for a few more days of sightseeing, heading to the San Diego Zoo, and walking on the beach. The best part about having my parents come with us is that they are going to take the boys for an entire day while we're there so that Pete and I can spend the day just the two of us. Our trip will be 8 days in total, and we are thrilled. I made the boys a countdown calendar and we gave it to them on Christmas day. This way they will always know when we're going.I took a video of us telling the boys about our trip, but it was very anti-climactic because they didn't really get it! It took them the whole day of asking questions to realize the true magnitude of the trip. Now they're excited though, and Nathan is already developing his plans for the trip - he has already asked me if he can pack his suitcase.
