One night I was looking at air fare "just for fun" and came across a deal I couldn't pass up so I booked the boys and I a flight to San Diego for EIGHT days. We stayed mostly with Steven's sister Samantha, who just so happens to LIVE in San Diego and a few nights with Steven's mom Toni a few hours north of San Diego. We had the most wonderful vacation and I was pretty proud of myself for doing it ALL without Steven. The boys were oh so fabulous which made life for me even easier.

I had the best time with you all. I really missed my brother....it's a good thing I don't have to wait very long to see him!!! I want to thank you again for coming!!!!
What a fantastic trip. I am so proud of you. That is a big deal taking your kids on a plane across the country by yourself. What great memories they will have of this trip.
What a wonderful trip you had....and all by yourself with the boys!! Way to go supermom!!!
What a jam-packed trip filled with fun for your boys! It makes me want to attempt something like that by myself! We will have to meet up next time, since you were practically in our backyard. :)
i love the pic of the four kids in their red and white!!
Great pictures and it was nice of you to come. I love to see my grandsons as much as possible, you two Salena but we missed Steven.
What a fantastic trip! Memories for a lifetime for the boys as well. Thanks for taking us along through your blog!
Looks like a wonderful vacation. So glad you guys had a great time.
Salena-- you look amazing!!! And your vacation looks like it was pretty fun too. It was great to see Angela again.
