Day 5 - Heading Home

We had a lazy morning, with a late check out, so we went swimming at the pool.  We swam twice when we first got to CA, but had been too busy the last few days.  The boys were so excited to jump in, although they really preferred the hot tub.  The big pool was heated and was absolutely perfect though.

 When Dave was a little boy, his family took a vacation and his parents dressed everyone alike in bright colored shirts that were numbered on the back.  His older siblings were horrified at the thought and still cringe to think about it, but his parents are still so proud that they didn't lose anyone due to the bright colors.  So, they surprised us and sent us matching shirts too.  Luckily, our boys are young enough to think it is cool to match and have their names on their shirts!

We rented this van - a 2011 Toyota Siena.  It was fantastic!  I told Dave I want it to be our next rig, but he thinks it will require winning the lottery to afford.  It was so roomy and had so much storage space.  I loved it!  So did the boys.  Braden cried when we dropped it off and they drove it away.  "Mine!!!"

 On the shuttle to the airport, and everywhere we went, our cute boys get smiles.  They were so good on our vacation, and we had the best time!  If we can get tickets that cheap every year, we just might make a Califonia visit in the winter a family tradition!  Can't beat sunshine and high 70 temps in January!
