Labor Day Weekend

Of course we went camping over the long weekend. Is anyone surprised? Ha! We went down to a very nice campground in Chula Vista that's right on San Diego Bay. Our trailer backed up to this bike path that you see below with Justin and Kirk riding on. It was a beautiful view!
When we first arrived, and after we set up camp, we went on a little bike ride along the bike path, stopped to play on the playground

and before we knew it the kids were in the bay fully clothed and having a ball!

We then rode back to get cleaned up.


On Saturday we decided to drive down to the border and show the kids where Mexico is. They were thrilled to actually be able to see Mexico! They really thought it was the coolest thing. It's too bad times have changed so much and we couldn't actually enter Mexico. I know how much that would have impressed them. It's just not safe anymore. But we took a couple of pictures of the border and with Tijuana in the background.


We then took a drive onto Coronado Island and stopped to play at a little park on the bay over there. It was so beautiful and perfect weather!

Then we headed back to camp and went to play in the bay. It was actually pretty chilly, but they had a great time!

Sunday, the campground put on a great Labor Day party with lots of free things - a bouncy house, hot dogs, snow cones, cotton candy, popcorn, drinks, a tattoo parlor, games, etc. It was really fun and it was a highlight of our trip.

The rest of the time was spent hanging out at our campsite and playing catch and riding bikes. It was a fun time!
