Spring Break 2011.....

One of my most favorite vacations has got to be Spring Break in Alabama on the Gulf Coast with Jeff's mom and step dad, however they decided to take some friends this year so we chose to spend a few days in California. We took the 5th wheel and stayed at an RV Park in Huntington Beach that my Aunt Terri recommended. It was walking distance to the Pier, shopping, and of course the beach.


Our first nights stay (Golden Acorn Casino), and the next four nights on the beach (view from the end of the Pier).

The best part of the week was our one day trip to Disneyland. The kids had an absolute great time. We were there from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and they were tired to say the least, but they were also troopers. We took the babysitter which made it even more fun because I got to ride the roller coasters with Jeff.


We did Disneyland and California Adventure (I don't think I could pick one over the other)


The kids loved having Hannah there and they all loved the rides. Jett would get mad when he couldn't go but we knew there was only so much his stomach would handle.


When it was his turn he was all smiles and ready to go. I had to do at least one ride with him...(when I was pregnant with Jett this ride made me sick).



Jett's favorite was Lightning McQueen and Mater, he just wasn't quite sure what to do when he got up close to them. The other two pics are of them "hanging out" waiting for the older ones to get off the ride.

We got to see the fireworks that night and they were by far the best I had ever seen. The kids (except Calissa she slept through them) were in awe the whole time.



We ate here at Ruby's it was a 50's diner and had great burgers and shakes! Caelin was a little bored acting!

Overall it was a good vacation. The weather was perfect for Disneyland, but a bit chilly to be out on the beach. The older kids played in the water a little and came out beat red and numb. It was cold to even sit out there and watch them trying to soak up a few rays. I don't even have any pictures of them in the water. We took lots of pictures just none of them in the sand or in the water.

It looks so fun! Especially the babysitter part. I always need a little vacation while I'm on vacation!
