Feet in the Ocean & Sandy Shoes!

I just loved these 2 pictures and I thought I would share!

Dana Point Harbor!

Our last day in Cali, we went to this really cool harbor that had a calm swimming beach!!! It was really neat, the boys actually got to play in the ocean and not get blasted by waves! I got some of my favorite pictures at this place! It was just breath taking! It was a great finish to a terrific trip!!!

DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!

Today one of my dreams finally came true! After 33 years, I got to go to Disneyland! We had a BLAST!!!! The boys loved it and you want to know a secret!!!!! I did too!!! It was not that crowded so we got to go on ALOT of rides. with little to no wait!!!!! The next few blogs will be some highlights from our day!!!!

Toon Town & Visiting Mickey's House!

More Random Pictures at Disneyland!!!

Jedi Training!!!

This was absolutely the boys FAVORITE part of the trip....JEDI TRAINING!!! They got light sabers and robes and got to fight Darth Vadar, it was every little boy's dream! Well maybe big boys too!!!! :0)

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA!

We visited Hollywood today after the wedding and I must say it is NOT all it's cracked up to be! TOO many people and I can say I visited and that's about it! It was cool to just see everything, but where was the glamor, the celebrities, the red carpet! I didn't see any of that! But the boys did eat at the MickeyD's in Hollywood and they thought that was the highlight of the trip!!!!

After Hollywood we went to eat in Chinatown at this authentic Chinese Restaurant! Yes, it was authentic. This was the closest real Chinese food I have had since I was in China several years ago! Really good food, lots of it but REALLY good! The boys had fun with their new friends!!! Cute kids!

Joe & Karen's Wedding!

This morning as the boys & I were getting ready for the wedding, I realized that my boys are growing up way to fast. They are getting so big and they are SO handsome! I am truly blessed and honored to be their mom!!!

Joe & Karen's wedding was beautiful! And the boys made some new friends, Karen's cousins!

Nightly Adventures!!!

Today was the rehearsal, so the boys & I went swimming at the Hotel pool! Of course Connor got in trouble and was in time out and Noah made a friend at the pool, no problem!!!!

Later that night we went to Buca di Beppo, an Italian Restaurant, for the Rehearsal dinner! It was family style so they brought out big portions of food and it was really GOOD!!!

Breakfast by the Ocean!!!

We went this morning to eat breakfast in Laguna Beach at Las Brisas!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! Stunning views and excellent food! If you are ever there, you should go eat here, it is worth the money!!

In -n- Out Burger!!!

YES! We went to the famous In -n- Out Burger for dinner tonight! I mean you just can't go to California and not go to this place! Oh, and by the way, if you ever get the chance to go ask for your burger.... "animal style"!!!!!!

Laguna Beach!

We went to Laguna Beach after arriving in California! It was AMAZING!!!!!! The boys LOVED the ocean, well Connor not so much! He had some trouble standing up with the waves being so powerful, they just pulled him out to sea!!! He got tired of being pushed around by the waves so he stayed up on the beach and played in the sand! Here is a conversation he had with Anna:

Anna: Connor look at those waves, isn't the ocean just beautiful!?

C: NO response, just playing in the sand!

Anna: Wow, your mom & dad just got hit by that wave I bet that hurt!

C: (still playing in the sand and not even looking up) Yep, that's why I'm NOT out there!

Yep, he sure didn't get back in the water after his time fighting those waves and he had NO intention of getting back in there either!!!!! Smart kid, even I found out that I have no skills when it goes to the ocean!!!!

But overall, the boys had a great time and believe me it was gorgeous!!! Indescribable!
