Stuart and I took a few days off from work for another mini vacation.  This started by taking a day off work (without Logan) for our 4th anniversary.  We played tennis in the morning after dropping Logan off at school.  We had a nice relaxing lunch at Santana Row and even did some shopping.  It had been a long time since we were able  to thoroughly browse through a store without a little one getting bored.  We then wrapped up our celebration with an afternoon nap, then picking up Logan and started packing for our trip the next day.

On Friday we drove down to the grandparents in southern CA.  Logan did very well on the drive and we only had to stop once to stretch his legs.  Since he had a big nap during the trip, Logan was well rested to spend some time with the grandparents.  Logan started a bit clingy to us as usual, but he enjoyed playing with grandma and watching grandpa. 

The next day, we went to Corona to see Logan’s Uncle, Auntie and cousins.  We hung out at their house for a while before heading out to the nearby park.  Logan rode in a wagon for the first time while the other boys threw around a football.  Stuart and Andrew had another match of Subbuteo to wrap up the evening.

On Sunday, the grandparents took us to a hillside to watch airplanes taking off from the airport.  Spotting airplanes in the sky has been one of the most thrilling things for Logan lately; therefore, he had such a blast pointing to all  the planes that seemed so close.  In the afternoon, we went to Hermosa Beach to hang out.  It was the second time Logan played at the beach; and so he started in on his fun time quickly.  We all had a wonderful time watching Logan and enjoying the sea breeze.

With all the love, attention and toys Logan received, it was time to wrap up the fun trip and return home on Monday.  Stuart and Logan did very well on the drive and made it home in 6 hours.  Scottie was glad to see us all again.
