My mom had some vacation time and didn't want to spend it at home so she came up with this crazy idea for us to go to San Diego for a couple of days. It sounded like fun so I said sure, we ended up going there with 9 kids from age 10 to 16 months and ONLY 4 adults. The drive to San Diego should take max 5 1/2 to 6 hours but with 9 kids we made it there just under 8. With a couple of fist fights and about 6 pee breaks we made it. So my sister Elisa's husband got us a free room at a nice hotel down town San Diego which was so nice, thanks very much Fred. Anyways, we didn't realise how nice until we pull up and the valet offers to park your car, I cringed and looked behind me at all the travel crap that had been stuffed into my car along with the six kids that I had with me. I said he could take it but the kids come with it. So I parked the car myself, kind of, he pointed me to the under ground garage where they had another valet, it was a little less embarrassing unloading everything and everybody there then in front of the hotel. I don't think I have ever threatened a child or children as much as I did for those 2 days to be good or else or don't talk in the lobby of this very nice hotel or else. Every time someone asks me if I had a good time I would like to say yes but no, I know the kids had a good time and that's what counts. My next vacation is with no kids, I am glad we went and I probably won't do that again. I want my nieces and nephews to like me not hate me. Here are some cute pics of the kids.
Yeah, were on our way.

Wish I could've been there!!! I LOVE Sean crying in the background...too funny!!! Maybe I'm glad I didn't go...
How cute! I love your sassy description of your trip.
I didn't think it was that bad. We just didn't get to do much cause it took so long to get everyone ready to go. I don't think I'd do it again though either.
