We only had about half a day before we had to get to the airport, so we headed out of the hotel just to explore a little bit. We found this lizard on the hotel grounds. I convinced Emma to touch it.
We headed over to the USS Midway area so the kids could see the big ships. We couldn't pass up a pose like this.
We sat by the ocean and found little crabs scurrying about, watched the big ships, and just enjoyed chatting for a bit.
We found some cool tree roots to try and balance on.
And then back to the airport, killing some extra time with electronics.
Lucas had had enough of being away from home, and had a hard flight, but was kept happy most of the time with movies and me holding him, continuing to tell him, we had to stay on the plane to get home.
When talking about going on our first airplane, Emma was concerned that their would be lightning, and such. I told her I'd never seen lightning from a plane, the chances were slim, and that if there was a storm bad enough, they wouldn't let us fly. Just so happened, on our way into Utah, there was a huge storm, and we flew above it and saw the lightning from above. Very cool.. a little concerning flying in a metal trap though. But all's well. We landed and ran as fast as we could to our car in pouring rain and high winds. Not the welcoming we were hoping, but quite a memorable experience.
