Our first trip of summer was to southern California with Brad's parents, UB, and Grandpa Great. We're so fortunate that they invite us to come to a different location every other year. They save up their time share points and make us an amazing vacation with childcare included.
Brad and I had some really nice dates in Laguna Beach during the week; eating right on the water one evening and at the local favorite another.
And during the day we relaxed on the beach together, or at the villa pools. There were like 8!
Doesn't she fit right in the so. cal vibe?
It was hard not to laugh when we saw her chilling out like this one afternoon after a swim.
And since we were already down there and 15 minutes from the "happiest place on earth" we decided to take Ava.
I'd argue about it being the happiest place on earth. I think even Ava would.
My girl likes the beaches in Truro better, but she sure does love Disneyland too!
It was exciting, but also there was mostly a look of awe on her face the whole time. She was really taking it all in and trying to figure it all out. She kept asking if was all "real".
Because she had seen so many great Disney movies, like peter pan, alice in wonderland (her fav), sleeping beauty, snow white, etc. she really enjoyed the rides. Actually, Brad and I did too! Peter Pan was my favorite. It was so cool. I had some flashbacks to being there when I was four too.
It was a fun experience and it tired us out too.
We'll be back, but not for a while and we're definitely going off season next time!
A HUGE thank you to Grandpa for making it happen!
zonked!
She got to choose a toy before we left. She chose Sleeping beauty and spent a good 15 minutes sitting on the ground staring into the box at her.
my most memorable part of the expereince with her was watching her wave to all the princesses as they went by in a parade. She was just in total awe. They were so real to her and waving back.
How different the expereince being a kid there than an adult.
I loved watching that.
