California Trip

We just got back from a much needed vacation. Tommy just finished finals for the semester so we headed to California for a week to relax and finally spend some time together. The flight there was pretty good, could have been better. Bailey was teething and does not like to be held to sleep (the flight home was perfect we got to take her carseat on). We were welcomed by a heat wave as we stepped off the plane into 97 degree weather. Ahhhh.

BBQ with the Miller's

We had the Miller Clan over for a BBQ and swim and Tommy's parents house. It was so good to see them all and visit for a while. We miss you guys! Thanks for driving up to see us.
This is the life.

DISNEYLAND

It was so hot at Disneyland!! 99 degrees to be exact....we asked for warm weather. Despite the weather and me being a little sick we had a blast! Caleb was still a little shy about going up to the characters...he was good from a distance.

Our 1st Family Trip to Disneyland - April 2008

We had lots of fun in Mickey's Toon Town and there was hardly anyone there.

Yes, Bailey was on our vacation. She just slept through 90% of it.

Are we having fun yet?? I think Caleb was a little on sure of this ride....haha.

Note the rosy cheeks...it was that hot.

Watching the Parade. This was so much fun and we had the perfect seats thanks to Grandma and Grandpa.

CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE

We hit California Adventure the next day. It was about 13 degrees cooler which was perfect. It was seriously not crowded at all. We were able to walk right on to everything. The Playhouse Disney Show was a HUGE hit.

Caleb had soooo much fun at the Playhouse Disney Show...can you tell??

Even Bailey loved it!







VENICE BEACH
On Friday we headed out to Venice Beach. We try to go out there each time we visit or when we get the chance. You see it all out there. There are some wackos but it is fun to see it all and visit all the little shops along the boardwalk.

Peace, Love and Happiness Man

Having lunch at a little Cafe.

This guy was too funny. He had these funky roller skates on and would go up and down the beach playing his guitar and singing to you.

We had such a fun trip! We got our IN N OUT fix and lots of great weather. It was so nice to have so much time together as a family. Tommy had been so busy this last semester. It was just what we all needed. Even spending a few hours on Thursday at the Instacare with the kids didn't ruin it (both kids got ear infections, go figure). Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for such a fun vacation!!!
