During spring break this year, we had a visit from Grandma Rowene and Grandpa Billy! We had a great week with them. They arrived on Saturday, near the end of the second session of our LDS General Conference. Dad and Joe headed off for the priesthood session of general conference at a local stake center, while we hung out with Grandma. On Sunday, we watched the rest of General Conference on BYUtv and then I took my mom and dad on a drive to see the area. It was so nice having them as guests. The week was a perfect combination of relaxation and fun.
On Monday, it was Dad's Birthday and we decided to go have breakfast at Ruby's Diner on the Oceanside Pier. It was a little overcast, but we timed it just right and we were inside eating breakfast when the worst of the rain came down.
After breakfast, we chased the pelicans on the pier, talked to the fishermen, and then played on the beach. The kids loved writing in the sand and drawing pictures of themselves. We then went to do some shopping at the outlets in Carlsbad. After shopping, the rain started pouring again, so we headed south to Old Town San Diego to visit the newly renovated Mormon Batallion Museum. It very entertaining and informative. The church has done a great job with new technology to make it really fun and interactive for adults and kids. When we entered the museum it was pouring rain and when we came out it was sunny and beautiful. Perfect timing!
Mom and Dad treated us to lunch at a very yummy mexican restaurant in Old Town and then we walked through some of the shops. The kids loved the toy store and dancing on the stage to the latin music. It was a perfect afternoon at Old Town San Diego.

It's so nice that you parents come to see you. I love the pictures of the beach and Brynn's card was adorable. I am sure it melted your dad's heart.
