I LOVED THIS DAY SO MUCH!! Day 10! It was another day of leaving our hotel in bathing suits because we had a big day lined up. First, we hit up the Donut Bar for breakfast.

About five years ago, we had mapped out a whole different California trip than the one we actually took. We planned landing in San Francisco, spending a few days road tripping in a vintage convertible all the way down the coast. Hitting all the major attractions and cities along the ride then stopping in San Diego … More Our First Day in San Diego Day 9
Day 8! Our only real plan was to eat breakfast at Flo’s V8 Cafe in Carsland on this morning. Oh, and getting MAXPASS. Which was a big help getting us on the rides we wanted, or repeating rides! It was another hot day, but not as hot as the day before. Yep, I brought it … More Disney California Adventure Day 8
Hey Everyone! Day 6! I loved this day so much…the beaches and THE BIG SURPRISE! We drove from Laguna Beach to Anaheim; telling our kids it was “on our way to San Diego”.

Day 4 This day was super hot. For me to say that means it was a true scorcher! The kind of day that leaves you sweaty just standing there. The sun was strong, and the concrete was smoking hot. In other words, my favorite kind of weather! This day was August 19! We were celebrating our … More From LA to Laguna Beach Day 4
Hey Everyone! Here we are on Day 3! This was our last full day in Los Angeles, which we saved for the hyper touristy things to do in Hollywood. We woke up later than we had the other days but to grey skies, which was a bummer; though it was hot out. It ended up … More WB Tour and Hollywood Day 3
Day two! We were in our rental car by 8AM and headed right to Pasadena. The weather was hot, but dry. Perfect, with the sun shining and warm breezes.
