California

Since Craig and I hadn't been to Laguna since we got engaged... we decided we were due for another trip! We got Craig's entire family to come down with us. We decided to do a couple days at Disneyland and of course a day of shopping (which was very unsuccessful). But it was so fun for me to be back in California- I don't realize how much I miss it until I'm there! It was so great to be at Disneyland with family- and especially kids! They were a lot of fun. We had a blast.





Of course we had to make a quick run down to the beach one night after Disneyland. This is Craig digging out some huge shells for our Nephew Ryan. Craig had his first experience with a sea anemone. He was seriously scared to death but I finally convinced him he HAD to touch one. I don't think he'll ever do it again..... it was so funny!!!!

This is the beautiful beach a couple blocks from our house. We caught an amazing sunset while we were there. It was perfect!

I need more time
