VACATION!

Ok John and I just got back from our vacation with my family. We had the best time and I got a ton of good pictures but I will just put a few of my favorites on here. John and I went down on Sunday and stayed at a nice hotel in L.A. then we had Monday to ourselves. My family came Monday night so we filled the day with fun stuff. When I was growing up my parents took us to this beautiful museum that I wanted to take John too. It was great. We were almost the only ones there which was amazing since usually there are three hundred screaming children. Its a huge three story natural history museum. I was having so much fun I only got one picture while we were there! It's a good one though! it is very reminiscent of "Night at the Museum"!

Then on Monday night we all met at my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jim's house. Of course everyone immediately started cooking! We had Greek food that night which is a family favorite. Dolmas, Lamb Kafka with mint sauce, hummus, tabbouleh, tomato and cucumber salad, baklava. I don't know how to spell any of it but it was delicious!


The next two days were spent at the Santa Monica pier and at Manhattan Beach!




This picture is my favorite!

The rest of the trip was spent at Disneyland! My parents are so good to us! Thanks again for taking us all on the most fun vacation!

I'm not really sure who was more excited about this...John or Dallin....

Here is poor baby troy wishing this was all over....

As we were leaving the park for the final night I realized that I hadn't had anyone take a single picture of me and John. We hurried and had Alicia take one as we were walking out. As you can see we were looking and feeling a little tore up by the end!

I love your pics and I must have them! I made you a disc and I'll try to get it out today. I had so much fun and I'm ready to go again. We started trying to figure out how to go again. Maybe next year for our family! Love you!
