When your world gets rocked and you start to think about all the things you want to do with your children and they may not be here the next day your view on life changes or at least mine did.
In May the Boys (Riley and Eli) took a trip to see the Space Shuttle launch in Orlando. So Autumn and I decided we needed to take a trip just the two of us so here we are in California. This has been the least stressful week I have had in about 4 months. Autumn has started to feel a bit left out I think and has had a bit of attitude and I think it is due to Riley's Drs appts., and the extra attention (not intentional ) he has gotten.
So we booked our trip the first day we were here we went to see the Hollywood sign and walk Hollywood Blvd. We had such a blast! We also visited Venice beach, WE LOVED IT! the street performers were amazing, the shopping is not as commercialized. The funny thing is that I saw some "BONGS" at the smoke shop and I smelt "POT" and thought wow I havent been around that smell in a long time but I forgot that Pot is legal in Cali! We came back to our hotel and went swimming at our pool where I started talking with some other guest and she mentioned that she had 2 more days on her park hopper tickets and we got a deal on them! YAY!!
So the on Monday we went to Disneyland and had the BEST TIME!! Loved it! stayed till 10 ish and came back and went swimming again!
Tuesday was beach day again this time to the Santa Monica beach OH MY it was so gourgeous beautiful sand, awesome amusement park, awesome pier. There is something about seeing your child run to the waves and have such a big grin on her face! We then had to go shopping! I mean lets face it someone has to do it!
WEdnesday we went back to Disney for the day to finish the rides we didnt make the first day! We also got to watch the most amazing light and color show with animated characters. She is on her bed sleeping so we can gear up for another beach tomorrow!!! YAY!!
It is amazing memories we have made on this trip I think it will be an annual thing for just the 2 of us to get away and enjoy just being girls!!
Thanks Eli for allowing the girl and I to come to California and thanks to Rachelle (My boss) for taking over my responsibilities so I could come!
Oh and for the record it is a NICVE 77 degrees here !!
