Trip to Cali

So J has training for work next week in Cali. I have promised the kids I would take them to the beach since last summer and as broke as I am I figure now is the chance! The room is paid for so I just have to come up with money for gas and food. I am hoping I can just buy cheap stuff at a grocery store for the kids...lunches, snacks, breakfast...... All that good stuff that adds up fast if you are eating out. I would love to take them to Seaworld or the Zoo but it's just not in the budget. I know we will still have a blast between spending time at the pool and the beach :o) I can't wait to spend QUALITY time with my kids!!! My mom has offered to help me with work so hopefully I can have a couple days while we are there with not much to do. Hopefully I will have some fun things to post about after next week.
