How to spend Sunday on vacation? Always a quandary. If we had a car, we'd probably try church again, like last year. Then again, we ended up going to sacrament meeting and just sitting in the foyer (that's such a Mormon word) with cranky kids.
We settled on a trip to a local park to play with the kids, then a family home evening in the condo that allowed the kids to give reports that they had prepared on animals we would see at the zoo later that week.
I took the older 3 kids swimming at the pool where we have rights to swim courtesy of the Condo. It's about 4 miles away (we travel by cab). It was a good diversion for the kids. Caroline went to an on-site science class that she considered one of the highlights of the whole trip (they made a super ball). Go figure....glad I let her do it!
Then I took us to our newest find in Coronado: the library! For $5, we could get guest library cards, and check out lots of stuff! Tons of books for Josh to read, plus several bedtime stories for the younger kids, and even some kids videos, and a foreign video for the adults ($0.50 per video). Plus, they have a great play area in the library with puppets, puzzles, a train going around up high, and other nice displays. Definitely going to return to the library again next year! That seems a perfect Sunday activity on vacation.
My brother John and sister Liz and their families arrive that evening.
