California

We planned a trip to California with my side of the family. Nate's uncle was kind enough to let us stay at the house again. We love the beach house and was so excited to share it with my family. We usually go in July, so it was a lot different to go in October. It was chilly at night and we even got a few days of rain. We had a great time relaxing, watching the kids play and enjoying a few games ourselves.

Aimee and Mike were the undefeated champions of playing Horseshoes

One of the days that it was raining and half our group went to Disneyland, Nate Carter and I ventured to an indoor aquarium right next to Lego Land. It was fun and Carter loved the Sharks.

We decided that it would be fun to go to Disneyland. Because of the earlier day's of rain the sunny day we decided to go was pretty busy. It did not stop the fun we had. Carter loved it and loved going on all the rides. We thought he would be super scared of all the big Disney characters, but he loved them. HE did not get to see Mickey, but we say Pluto, Goofy and Mini.

For dinner we read many reviews and recommendations that we needed to try the Monte Cristo Sandwich. Nate and Aimee were brave and got it and I will have to say that it was pretty tasty. It is turkey and cheese deep fried in a waffle batter, sprinkled with powdered sugar and a side of raspberry dipping sauce. It is a heart attach waiting to happen, but tasty.


This was us at the end of the night waiting for the Halloween fireworks show to start. Carter was super tired, but was a trooper.

We has a wonderful time in Cali with our family. It was nice to just be together, relax, enjoy and have fun together. Thanks for a great trip!!!
