san diego trip
 |
| we have been talking about our trip to disneyland for so long that once we got on the plane sully couldnt hold in his excitement. |
 |
| the second we landed in orange county (after a stop at chick-fil-a, of course) we headed over to diver's cove in laguna. |
 |
| the boys ran and played in the water like maniacs. |
 |
| afterwards, we all cleaned up a bit and walked around fashion island. |
 |
| the boys loved the fountain. |
 |
| we had a few minutes until our dinner reservations so we walked around this little outdoor mall right on the newport coast. and randomly i stumbled upon this bakery! i have been following 'sweet and saucy' (a cake decorator) blog for a few years and this is her actual shop! i was very excited to see her work in person and sample a few treats. |
 |
| and then! dinner at javiers. it is honestly my favorite place to eat on this planet. great food and GREAT people watching. loved it. |
 |
| the group. |
 |
| after a pretty long day, we finally made it to our hotel in anaheim. the boys were so tired but also SO excited for disneyland the next day. |
 |
| disneyland day was also tagg's fifth birthday. he was incredibly proud of his birthday pin. |
 |
| we headed straight over to cars land. please dont ask me what sully's face is all about in this picture. apparently he had been offended. |
 |
| after riding a few rides at california adventure and getting our fast pass for the cars ride, we went over to disneyland and got on buzz lightyear. sully loved it. |
 |
| we were so lucky to celebrate such a special day with my parents. |
 |
| tagg was SO dang cute with the chipmunks. i could eat him. |
 |
| waiting in line for pirates. |
 |
| we also got to meet up with our great friends from back home. tagg and avery had a blast picking out junk in the gift shops. |
 |
| then we went back over to california adventure to ride the monsters inc. ride. here's sully with sully! |
 |
| then my dad and craig took tagg on the tower of terror! this is his scared little face before getting in line. he had NO idea what he was in for... |
 |
| while tagg was getting the life scared out of him we rode a harmless little kiddie ride with sully. |
 |
| it was a magical day that i will never forget. |
 |
| and to top it off, tagg put together an orange and turquoise car at ride makers in downtown disney right before we left. now thats something HE will never forget! :) |
 |
| after disneyland, my parents took the boys down to brooke's (in san diego) so craig and i could run by south coast plaza and grab dinner. it was a fun impromptu date night. after every vacation, i ask my family what their favorite part of the trip was. usually i get pretty generic answers.... and its kind of a boring game. but craig delivered this time. he said "when it was just you and me at in-n-out. that was really nice". awwww |
 |
| the next day was gorgeous so we went down to balboa park and played in the sun. |
 |
| that night, we met up with my cousins and walked around fashion valley. my boys looooove the richardson boys. |
 |
| one of sully's favorite part of the trip was that he got to share a bed with tagg. i realize they both look a little special in this picture but theyre just too darn cute. |
 |
| the next day was more fun in brooke's pool. it is seriously heaven. |
 |
| sully didnt mind the sun if he was in the pool but wasnt too keen on it while we were driving... |
 |
| this is how our family feels about chick-fil-a. finger licking good. |
 |
| the last day, we spent as much time out in the sun as possible. |
 |
| besides a quick trip to in-n-out. |
 |
| and the night before we went home i met up with my best friend since grade school, liz. we had a wonderful time shopping, getting ice cream, and chatting at brooke's house until after midnight. i love her. |
 |
| as always, we had a wonderful time in southern california. we love seeing the sun, our family and great friends. and celebrating tagg's fifth birthday at disneyland was the icing on the cake. |
