Our First Family Vacation

We took a trip to Dana Point, California, where Joe's Dad has a boat in the harbor.  Taking 2/3 days to get there made it easy on all of us!  We drove to Albuquerque the first day and stayed the night, then to Flagstaff, Arizona and stayed the night again.  Then made the last haul to Corona and had dinner with Wylie's Great Grandfather and a few aunts too!  We finally made it to the boat and it was so worth the trip!  The next few days we spent just walking around the harbor, going to the beach and just relaxing.  It was wonderful!  We drove down to San Diego for one night and walked around Old Town, had dinner in the Gas Lamp District, then went to a dog surfing competition in the morning!  Joe graciously booked Wylie and I a flight home and he made the long drive by himself.  Wouldn't have been that bad except he got stuck in Flagstaff due to the highway being closed completely due to high winds.  The next day took even longer since there were so many trucks and other drivers.  It was the best family vacation ever! (well, we don't have anything to compare it to yet for us, but it really was great!)  Here are a few highlights from the trip...
