Cali Baby!

You know how every once in a while you take a vacation that is so full of fun memories that you just want to bottle it up and open it every morning just to remember how sweet it was? Well we were lucky enough to experience that last week. We headed down to Southern California for a week of pure bliss. Minutes after checking into our hotel we went down to Laguna Beach to kick off the trip with one of our favorites. BJ's Pizza. Mmm it is like eating a slice of heaven. We love watching the kids run around the beach, growing up on this beach has given me some of the best memories ever, and now to be able to share it with my own family is even better.


I can still hear London's little footsteps racing down the stairs to reach the sand!

One of the kids favorite stops on the trip was of course the American Girl Store.

But probably the most anticipated part of the trip was DISNEYLAND!

Easton doing the Jedi Training. It made his day!

I think this picture truly captures the moment...

We said goodbye to 2010 and rung in the new year at the Happiest Place on Earth, I think we are guaranteed a Happy 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
A tradition we have had in our family for years, is to throw pancakes on the roof to bring good luck in the up coming year. Since the Hotel's roof was a little to high we decided to throw them on top of the car!

We ended the trip with a day in Newport. It was the perfect ending to a perfect vacation.






I'm pretty sure we will all be dreaming about of sun filled days for a long time....
