California Trip (finally!)

We finally made it back to California, Jeff's home state.  I think it's been 4 or 5 years since we were last there, which was for Jeff's grandma's funeral.  

Love the palm trees!

We drove by Pepperdine University in Malibu when we went to the beach.  Madison and Bailee were quite excited because Zoey 101 was filmed there from 2005-2008.  They love to watch the re-runs of it on Nickelodeon.  

A little beach bum!

Apparently we were there during high tide, it was totally freaking me out.  The ocean is so beautiful and amazing, but it scares the heck out of me too.

It was so beautiful there.

We went to Disney Land for 2 days.  It was a lot of fun, but exhausting too.

This was one of the first attractions we walked through, I don't even remember what it was, Tarzan maybe...  

We went to the Haunted Mansion next, we got right onto the ride, it was a lot of fun!! 

We did awesome the first day getting to ride lots of rides.  We didn't have to wait long at all on the rides the first day.  We used the Fast Passes twice which helped a ton with getting onto Splash Mountain and Space Mountain quickly.  

Ashton and the someone, haha!  Perhaps the genie.  I'm not up on all of the Disney characters.

Eating lunch at the Bear Country Cafe.  It was pretty tasty and had nice views.  

Hello Madison and Bailee...and Dumbo!  Jeff has a lot more pics from this trip on his phone.  Maybe one day I will get them put into a post...fingers crossed!

We got to visit Jeff's cousin Branden in the Vans shirt.  We had a good time visiting other relatives and friends as well.  Jeff's has those photos also.
