I decided to take my kids to California and just get out and do something memorable! My kids are getting older and they needed something fun and great to always remember and California was what I had in Mind. We rented a Van and Hit the road. I-15 all the way Baby!
We drove to Veges the first night and decided to stop and sleep there. The kids thought Veges was amazing. We got up the next morning and hit the road again, this time all the way to the ocean! We made it to Huntington Beach. Played for a bit and just watched the waves, we couldn't believe that we had actually made it!
After completely soaking ourselves with ocean water we loaded up and headed to DISNEYLAND! Checked in and jumped into the Mickey Mouse pool and Hot tub. We relaxed, it was great!
We spent two long days at Disneyland and California Adventure, it was the best time ever, seeing the girls get excited about Cinderella and Ariel was the greatest, my girls were little again, it brought the child out, just like they say on the commercial!
We stayed every night until about midnight, Spencer keep going, and going. I would have to say the best ride was "Indiana Jones" so cool! But next year they will have "Ariel under the Sea" and "Cars". We have decided this is something we are going to do next year too!
We then headed to Lacuna Beach, it was so pretty, the shells were amazing. We also played with the salt water plants, as Nemo would say, the ennennemy. We also caught a crab and played with him for a bit, then sat down and just enjoyed the sound as the sun went down. Spencer would build a Castle and hope the water wouldn't take it away it was the funniest thing ever.
We headed down the road the next day to La Joya Beach, and played there and walked around then set and watched the seals lay on the beach and sock up the sun, did you know that seals have HAIR! well I didn't, haven't got out much, lol
The last and final stop was San Diego Zoo! we spent all day looking and walking and admiring animals we have never seen. When we decided to head out from the Zoo we all looked at each other and said "Lets Go Home" so guess who started to drive while the rest of the filled there belly's and fell asleep. I drove and Drove and Drove......all night. We got Little north of Saint George and it started snow, BAD! The kids keep waking up and saying "We are almost home arnt we" then they would fall back asleep. This road trip that we took by our self made us a stronger and closer family, this is something my teen girls needed!
Well here are some great pics for you to enjoy!

Sounds like a lot of fun! Your girls are so grown up and pretty!
how awesome Penny, I kept thinking while reading this...How does she know where she is going and what there is to do... I am impressed and someday would like to think I could be as adventurous as you and take a trip with my boys as well. For now we are just lucky to make it to Idaho. Glad you had a great time.
What a great bunch of memories for your family! There's no better investment! How fun! Hope we can see you guys sometime soon too, if you ever want to head over to the OR coast, you've got a place to stay with us! Miss ya!
