What Can I Say???

How do you sum up an experience that will live in your memory forever?  I am finding it hard to write it down.  We got home last Sunday from our Vacation in California.  I have facebook'd and flckr'd, but to blog or write about our vacation seems much harder.  How do you sum up a trip of a lifetime?  I am not sure I can, but I will try...

Let me start at the beginning.  We left on March 24th and drove to Vegas.  David, Blaine and Mathias had a soccer tournament there over the weekend.  Friday, however, we ended up with no games so we spent the day at the outlet malls and Madame Tussaud's wax museum.  We had a blast at Madame Tusaud's... here are a few pics

We had a lot of fun in Vegas our teams did well, with Mathias going to the Semi's.  On Sunday we left for California in the early evening and got to my Aunt and Uncle's home around midnight... and promptly went to bed.  And then the week started.

Monday and Tuesday we went to Disneyland... WOW!  I loved disneyland!  Now I have been there before, twice actually but it has been over 25 years and some pretty vague memories.  Disneyland was amazing, I think it might just be the happiest place on earth, and it did seem a little surreal to be there.  It was crazy busy, at times just walls of people.  It did take us a day to get the "disney system" under our belts, using fast passes and stoller swap passes, but by day 2 we were going like pros.  The kids all loved Disneyland but I think it was Isabella's favorite place, well mine too.  Here are a few pics of day 1 and 2...

Oh and I did I mention that Isabella got to dress up as a princess?

Ok next day was California Adventures, I think this was the favorite place of the rest of the kids.  They LOVED the rides, especially the roller coaster!  Oh and the Tower of Terror. 

 That evening we stayed for the show called World of Colors, it was amazing...

Day 4 we were off to San Diego and to go to Sea World.  We loved Sea World and because it was not overly busy it was a nice change.  However to my great dismay some how we did not transfer all the pictures from this day and lost about 100 amazing pictures.  Here are a few that we didn't loose...

Ok we are almost there, day 5 was Universal Studios and once again a lot of fun.  I have to say by this time I think we were all winding down and getting pretty tired but we stayed until they closed and had a great time... just ask any of the kids about the Haunted House, they will tell you just how much fun we had.

So there is our vacation in a nut shell.  I loved it, every minute of it.  I watched my kids laugh and play and just be so happy.  I hope that they carry memories of this vacation, just as I have mine as a child.  Oh and is next year to soon to go back???
