Our Sunday Field Trip..

The plan was to go to Catalina Island...We had all of our stuff ready and we were on our way..Then rain happened..It never rains anymore around here but it did which is good but the Catalina Express we drove to first in Long beach was cancelled ...The we drove to location number two..It was cancelled so we ended up at location three ( another hour away) wear we were told 9 out of 10 people on the boat are getting sick because its so choppy...Oh and by the way the boats coming back will probably be cancelled so you might be stuck there and oh the hotels are now sold out....Well okay...what are we to do....We go o a Field trip...Question one...were are we ? Question two...What is there to do here ? So now we are on our way to the Queen Mary...Yes The Queen Mary..Its good fun for the kids but man your not missing anything...seriously..Boring..But we made the best of it...
We had lunch at Bubba Gump..good food and I loved the movie memorabilia..it was a good time had by all..Oh the kids food came in little boats..They loved it..There lemonade was to die for.
Then we went to The Queen Mary and pretended we were part of the danger around the boat...8 year old boys think this is cool...
Oh then we did the Ghost Tour..We payed for this great tour because my 6 and 8 year old thought they wanted to do it..The mom in me should of thought oh!! maybe there to young but I did not because it sounded like fun...My dad thought it was okay too so we bought the tickets waited for an hour in the freaking cold and guess what? It was to scary for them so we did 5 minutes of the tour before my poor Isabella started asking to leave ...Her and I did just that really fast...Christopher and my dad went on and 5 minutes after that he wanted out..They thought those 5 minutes were the best part of our Sunday Field Trip. I thought it was the food then the tour..It was a 2 hour drive back home but I think for at least 1 hour they talked about those 5 minutes...cool hu...You never know what the fun part will be so you just have to try all stuff sometimes....Most of the time its what you least expect...I had a good weekend and lots of mommy time...

Wow, Gloria, sounds like a real mixed bag of a weekend! I'm glad you were able to pull some good out of it. We had hail here - and thunder! I ran outside with my camera and took pictures of little piles of what looked like snow. Sooo weird, but now we have our weather back. Too bad your timing was just a little bit off... have a great week!
