SUMMER VACATION- PART II

We said farewell to the quaint town of Carlsbad as we cruised north on the PCH. The salty air filled the car as we sailed through each beach city until we finally arrived at our next destination- Disneyland!

Jace and Lauren ready to rack up the points on Toy Story

Jace and Lauren gave each other back massages while waiting in line for Toy Story...
The novelty hasn't worn off that ride yet- still a long line!

Splash Mountain!!

We got to see the new World of Color show at California Adventure

We even scored front row!!

if a double decker bus, crashes into us........

Nothin' better than Thunder Mountain!!

We actually rode the canoes! Who does that!!

Grandma, Lauren and Jace

and the winner is........ Lauren! for best funny face

Spent half a day at the beach- water not as warm as it was down in Carlsbad!

Lauren and her Boogie Board-

Catching some heat from the sun after being in that cold ocean...

Running from the cold waves! Doesn't the ocean know it's August!! It's supposed to be warm!

Splish-splash

Chicken dinner at the Plaza

Me & Lauren

Ready, aim....

On the way home we stopped at the home of the world famous pastrami sandwich- The Hat

After a week of fun it was time to head back home and back to reality!

ALIANTE STATION

On the Thursday before school started we got a room at the Aliante Hotel. The kids had been begging to stay there since it was built and as luck would have it I won a free nights stay.

Lounging in the room

Jace ready to hit the pool

Of course we had the pancake house for breakfast!

So even though our official summer break only lasted 3 weeks, we still managed to pack in a whole lotta fun!!!
