Fall Break

Have you ever heard of Fall Break? About three years ago our school district added a week off in October calling it "Fall Break", at first I thought, oh geez another week to figure out what to do with the kids, but now I'm so grateful for this week of fun! For the second year, we decided to take the time off work and head South. Our choice of relaxation was beautiful La Costa Resort, with the weather still  warm in sunny So Cal. we get to enjoy some family fun pool time. This year we were joined by some special friends, my college roomy and her beautiful baby boy and hubby! We enjoyed every moment with them and look forward to doing it all over again next year!

Let the fun begin!

What kid wouldn't have a blast here?

Even the adults can get in on the fun!

My view! 

These cuties love their special time with Baby Drew!

Later in the week we headed back North to the happiest scary place on earth, Disnyland. Thinking it was in middle of the week it wouldn't be crowded - WRONG! I guess Fall Break exisits for many elemenry school kids or a lot of people just played hooky! We made the most of our two days there and had a blast! Thank goodness for Fast Passes, because I wasn't about to wait 2 hours for Radiator Springs in Cars Land! We'll be headed back soon now that we have yearly passes!!!

Best mom EVER!

First, let me thank my friend Michelle for making me the best mom EVER in my daughter's eyes. This weekend she got to meet many of her favorite Disney TV stars! We were invited to the Radio Disney Music Awards by our friends, Michelle and her daughter Kayla, who we met when our girls were just 6 months old. It's amazing to see how these beautiful little girls have grown up to be sweet, kind 8 year olds!

They not only got to see the award ceremony, but also got VIP access to the Disney After Party! What a blast it was!

Friends forever! Sophia & Kayla

They got to go on the red carpet! Fancy girls!

She was excited to see Selena Gomez perform!

Selena Gomez! We had amazing seats! 

She got to meet many of the Shake It Up actors! Sophia was a little nervous, can you tell? She kept saying "Mom, there is so and so----- I need to take my picture with them!"

Zendaya was so super sweet! This girl is gorgeous and my goodness I was a dwarf next to her!

We even got to see a performance by Fifth Harmony at the after party!

Move out of the way - VIP's coming through! HA!!

Disney adventure

What an amazing family vacation. Disney truly creates lifetime memories! A Disney cruise is perfect for any family size and for all ages! We took a four day Bahamas cruise and then spent a few days at Disney World! Here are a few photos of our journey!

Let the cruise begin.....

Sophia enjoying kids club.

Our first stop - Atlantis! 

Swimming with the dolphins in Atlantis.

Castaway Cay, Disney's private Island.

We got to jet-ski, while the kids had fun at Kids Club!

After a great cruise, we headed over to Disney World for a few more days of fun! The only complaint I have is next time we'll do at least a 7 day cruise.
