The first week in November took across on an airplane ride across the country to Huntington Beach, CA. The kids did great (it was Morgan's first flight!) and the time change didn't affect them much either...
Joe and I spent Monday through Friday at a Sports Leadership Training in San Diego, while Uncle Tom and Aunt Debbie played with the kids.
It was a fantastic trip for all of us!

Morgan at the Long Beach Aquarium (pretending to swim through the coral).

Morgan and Aunt Debbie really enjoyed each other.

Uncle Tom & Aunt Deb were fantastic hosts and the kids just LOVED spending time with them!

Morgan loved her first visit to the ocean at Huntington Beach - but the water was cold!

Joey was much more interested in sand castles than going near the salty cold water.

JT Schmids is a wonderful restaurant in Anaheim that also happens to nearly share the name of Joe (his initials are JTS - but it turns out the owner's name is actually Jared...still a cool photo!)
There are many more photos to download that were taken while we were away at the conference each day, but I wanted to post those that I had taken as soon as I got a chance.
Joe, Megan, Joey, Morgan Schmidt & Baby J.W.
