California Trip....

This was a much needed vacation from everything! I'm thankful we got to go spend time with my side of the family I hadn't seen them for about 8 months, I really wish I lived much closer to my family as I do miss them and get to miss out on a lot of family gatherings and such! :( Hopefully grad school will take me back to California or at least closer to home... We went to the beach, the Long Beach Aquarium, Disneyland and California Adventure, My sister's Baby Shower party and Celebrated our first anniversary with Jon! I can't believe how fast an entire year went by! I had a blast spending almost everyday with my baby Niece, I can't believe how much she has grown, she is super tall and she listens and behaves a lot better when we take her out compared to previous years! It was our first time as a couple going to Disneyland we had never gone together before, we were both excited, I usually don't get too excited to go to Disneyland because I had season passes growing up and used to go there all the time, but we were excited to go this time around. We took our five year old niece and she was great throughout the day, she even got to ride Indiana Jones for the first time ever, she is such a brave soul, at age 5 I know I wasn't nearly as brave as she is.. We got to ride the new Star Tours it was pretty sweet and even got to see the new show World of Colors at California Adventure Park it was such a neat show I really want to go back and see it again and hopefully get better seats. We got to ride most of the rides because surprisingly the lines where super short throughout the day and fast passes also helped out a lot with the lines..
