Going to Cali

Jim is deploying for 6 months to Iraq so I am going to go home to cali for 11 days at the beginning of August. Every year it just gets harder to visit there. My mom lives in a one room studio so we can't stay with her and my brother doesn't have any extra room since he will have 2 kids by then. It won't be so hard once the kids get older but right now it is hard for them to share a room since they all are so young and used to sleeping on their own.
So I am going to rent a condo or house. I have been looking at some in Temecula, Corona, lake elsinore and canyon lake. It is going to be expensive but a much better option then renting a hotel. I am just afraid the kids won't get any sleep in a hotel in we all have to share the same room. And getting 2 hotel rooms is just not an option because they are too young to be in their own separate hotel room. Even if it had a connecting door I would still be hesitant because Jamie knows how to lock doors. Plus it would be just as expensive to get 2 rooms as it would be to just rent a condo/house.
Now I just need my mom to go check out some of these neighborhoods to see in the online photos are really what these places look like.
If everything works out as planned. We will arrive in Cali on the 1st of August. go to the beach with my moms family on the 2nd. Then chill out on the 3rd. Go to legoland on the 4th. Chill out on the 5th. go to the San diego Zoo on the 6th. Chill out on the 7th. Go to disney on the 8th. Chill out on the 9th-11th. Then come home. I figure if I give the kids at least one down day inbetween they should be ok. I don't want them too tired to enjoy the different parks. It is going to be a crazy 11 days. But so much fun. :)
