Cali Trip

Earlier this year we did the "Disney give a day, get day" and received free Disneyland tickets. Doug's older sister Amy and her family did it as well and so we headed to California for a few days. We had a blast. We left on Wednesday. We went to Disneyland on Thursday, the beach all day on Friday, Saturday we went & saw Toy Story 3 (really cute), had lunch, did a little shopping, went down to Newport beach rode beach cruiser's down the boardwalk, played at the beach and then ate dinner at Bubba Gump's (not worth the money). Over all we had a blast and I can't wait to go back( even though I'm not a huge fan of Cali beaches, its a beach and the ocean so it will have to do. Here are some pics from our trip!!

This was Syd's facial expression every time I took a picture.

Syd was ready to boogie board. Just had to teach her first that you lay down on the board!
