As we sat in the car watching the movie, we decided we needed some theater candy. Luckily we had picked up some chocolate licorice and fun size candy bars the night before. So, Brian went inside and got blankets to stay warm and the candy with water to wash it down. It was so cool! Tali was in the backseat for the majority of the movie bundled up. When she woke up it got a little more difficult, but it was still fun anyway. I thought it was a very fun and creative way to watch a movie as a family. Knowing Brian, there will be plenty more of them.

Lately Brian has been pretty stressed with work and school and has been overdue for a much needed family vacation. We contemplated going to Southern California and buying those Southern California City Passes. The only problem is, it would be such a hassle to take Tali to Disneyland/California Adventures and Universal Studios because she couldn't really do anything except for sit in her stroller while we went on rides or wait in ridiculously long lines to get photos taken with Disney characters. The only thing she probably would enjoy would be Sea World and the San Diego Zoo or the Wild Animal Park. To me, it seems too expensive for her just to enjoy those things for one main reason. We have a zoo and an aquarium here at home. Why would I want to spend over $1000 when she wouldn't be able to remember or enjoy it. It would just seem like such a waste right now. She wouldn't even be big enough to ride any rides.
I've been wracking my brain trying to think of something fun we could all enjoy that isn't so expensive. We really want to get out of town so if anyone has any suggestions of family vacations that you could take an almost one year old on, I would LOVE to hear it!

Just go to St. George for a couple of days. You can enjoy the warm weather and take Tali swimming. It always works for me!
We've struggled with the same issues, especially the money one in regards to a vacation. If you figure something out, please pass it on!
Sounds like a lot of fun! You guys are very creative. I will try to think of some vacation ideas. Jan
Any camping trip is generally quite relaxing. Duck Creek Village down by Cedar City is a blast. You can rent a cabin for a very reasonable price and there are caves, lakes, reservoirs, hikes, etc, all over the place. Zions, Bryce, etc are really nice this time of year, Logan is still a bit cold but there are tons of fun things to do up there as well. Jason
Going to San Francisco to visit family is always fun. I know of a very cheap/free place you can stay and can give a very good recommendation for a great babysitter so you can have a nice dinner out.
