Dear Khoa & An,
We went on a another So Cal trip earlier this week where we spent most of the time in San Diego. We went to the San Diego zoo, which was so much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. Big Brother had so so much fun playing with cousins. We bought the unlimited bus and sky tram access so we went on there multiple times and you all thoroughly enjoyed each and every ride. You were mesmerized by all the animals, but especially the elephants. Even Little Sister was so excited that you crashed for an hour before waking up and asking mommy to go back to playing and exploring again. We also went to La Jolla Cove, where the sea lions and seals lie on the sand and both of you for the first time got an up close and personal view of these animals. You loved it, especially against the backdrop of the sand and the ocean. Big Brother really loves chasing the waves, so much that Mom and Dad would predict that you will grow to love surfing in the future. Little Sis loves watching the sea lion sleep and would creep up slowly to watch them sleeping so peacefully. You love to chase the waves early too, but with mommy holding you. You still have some apprehension with the waves (thank goodness), otherwise you would be so easily whisked away. The waves were rough, but you both love the ocean so much. Later that evening, we went to a lake nearby Ong Ba Noi's house where you both fed the ducks with bread and blew bubbles. Your innocence and your endless love of playing make me so happy and so proud to be able to be your mom.
On the next day, we went to Disneyland, where you two really played your heart out. We went on the tractor ride & The Little Mermaid at California Adventure, and the Small World, Jungle Cruise, Dumbo, the Merry go round, roller coaster ride at Toontown. While big brother loved every ride, little sis was a little scare at some of the faster rides. We also watched the parades - which you both loved too. You were excited to see all the characters and kept waving hi to everyone. It was so cute to see you both again enjoyed being at Disneyland. You played so hard, hence when we got to Ong Ba Ngoai's house, you were so hungry and ate like you have never eaten. We drove home late, but we survived the long car ride and made it back at 2am. We had a very fun trip and I can't wait to go on another trip again.
Love,
mommy
