Yosemite

My parents both retired this year. Both of them had never been to Yosemite National Park. So, Scott, I and the girls took them on a little trip for thier gift. We stayed at the Tenaya Lodge and went into the park 2 days. It was a beautiful time of year to go, great weather and great fun had by all!

St. Maarten

We got to take a wonderful family vacation to St. Maarten earlier this month. Scott's friend's mom gave us access to her time share and we were able to make it work. What a beautiful place. It was a fun week had by all...even if Mackenzie kept us on our toes.

SUMMER

Wow it is so close I can taste it....Madison has 12 days and I am down to 18!!! Yahoo! Let's get through open house, articulation day, a field trip to the park and I am home free!! That means only 27 days to get in shape for our vacation to St.Maartin! I better get my butt to the gym!

San Diego

After Disneyland we headed to San Diego for the rest of the week to relax, play at the beach, visit friends and explore our old stompin' grounds!

Disneyland!!!

Our family vacation continued further south to Anaheim to DISNEYLAND! Let me tell you, I LOVE this place. I could come here year after year and never tire of the place. I hope my girls will only feel slightly the same way (actually, Madison asked just a few nights ago, if we could go again!)
We did just one day at the park, but both girls lasted all day, napping in the stroller and having a wonderful time with the extended family at the happiest place on earth!!
