I was able to take two awesome vacations back to back. Well, actually I would almost say three rolled in to one. The end of August my best friend Lynn flew me out to California to watch Annabelle while her and Jake took a much needed weekend away. Since Lynn lives far away I don’t get the chance to see Annabelle enough. So needless to say I was so excited to have a chance to spend a whole weekend with her.
First Annabelle is one of the most well behave babies I have ever been around. Not only does she have a smile that melts your heart but, she hardly ever cries. Even when she does cry it is only because she sees you making her bottle and she wants you to hurry up. So in reality she is just telling you to speed things up a bit. I really had great time with her and am so happy that I had the chance to spend some quality time with her. Thank you Lynn and Jake for going on vacation so that Annabelle and I could hang out. I miss her and can’t wait until I see her again.
Now for my second vacation, this started when Jake and Lynn came home. I got to spend some much need time with Lynyrd Skynyrd (aka Lynn). We spent most of our time laughing. I seriously forget how much we make each other laugh. Lynn and I got hook on this show “Gossip Girl”, and I am now a devoted fan! We watched season one and ate sushi. Which is a passion we both have, we ate it three days in a row! I think the best time was on her bed while we watched Gossip Girl on the computer. Thank you so much Jake and Lynn for allowing me to invade your space.
On Wednesday I was able to pick up Gavin in California, which worked out perfectly I might add. Gavin was on a vacation as well and then was able to join me for our third vacation but, before that started Lynn, Jake, Annabelle, Gavin, and I got to spend a little time with each other. Gavin loved Annabelle so much, he tried so hard to make her smile and when she did he would beam with excitement that he achieved a smile. It was so CUTE!! I was also glad that Lynn and Gavin got to hang out because he doesn’t get to see his Auntie Lynn much either. By the way the whole next week he kept asking me where was Auntie Lynn. I had such a wonderful time and am so glad that I got to spend time with the Halladay’s, I miss you guys!
Now last but not least the third vacation. My mom, sister, nephew, cousins, and aunt’s all joined me in California to have a girl and kids trip to Disneyland. Gavin and I have been to Disneyland before but never when he is tall enough to ride all the awesome rides. He only missed out on two, Indian Jones and Bear River. I was debating if I should take him on Thunder Mountain Railroad, I did and he loved it! The neat thing was while we were on the ride they were having the fireworks show right above us. So we had the best seats and were able to see Tinkerbelle fly across the sky. He also loved Splash Mountain, we rode it five times it was great!
I had so much fun and loved spending time with my family. This was Weston’s first trip to Disneyland and we all were so excited for him. He did great and I love to see how happy he got on the train. It was so much fun! We went at the best time, there was no wait and it wasn’t too hot. Oh but note to self I HATE THE FINDING NEMO RIDE!! We got suck and were in the cramped submarine for 10 mins. I will never ride that ride again. Not to mention I am slightly claustrophobic.
I loved all my vacations and am so glad I went! Troy was dying for us to come home it is the longest time we have ever been apart. He was going crazy so much that he called me to ask if I missed him because I only said it once. It was cute!
