We are ready to embark on our 2014 Road Trip Extravaganza! We rented an RV and will be off to the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, and Yellowstone. We are heading out with the kids and the in-laws and I have my freezer full of meals – however the fridge doesn’t seem to be working… […]

Wild Animal Park in Orlando – April 2012

by Kristi on May 31, 2012


Friday was our trip to the Wild Animal Park which was AMAZING.  I was excited to see the animals but I thought it would be a little lame. I’m not a fan of our San Diego Animal park (too hot, too brown, too much walking) but I LOVED this park! It helps when the weather […]

Hollywood Studios Orlando – April 2012

by Kristi on May 31, 2012


Thursday was Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Yes, just about the same thing as California Adventure here in Anaheim! Still, Griffin has not been on Star Tours yet so we decided to skip the whole Disney World thing and do Hollywood Studios. We booked it over to Star Tours and got distracted by the sign that said […]

Our Pool Day in Orlando – April 2012

by Kristi on May 30, 2012


Wednesday was the deeeeee-lightful day of doing nothing! Kids woke up around 7:30am and I got them quietly dressed while everyone slept and we went right outside to the playground and then the pool. The rest of the crew woke up around 9 and straggled out. We had lunch at the pool. Kids made friends […]

Islands of Adventure Time! April 2012

by Kristi on May 30, 2012 · 1 comment


The next morning was Islands of Adventure! Seriously my favorite park ever, waiting in line is an experience. They got so many little details right on all of their worlds. We made sure to leave the house at 7am (4am PST time – ouch!) and arrived at the gates at 750 to wait for the park […]

Sea World Orlando – April 2012

by Kristi on May 29, 2012


This post is LATE. I wrote most of it the week after we got home (early April!) and then promised myself that I would add photos and… it just never happened! So I’m sitting here on Memorial Day weekend sizing and uploading them. 🙂 I’ll probably break this up post up in a few installments. […]

We went on the most amazing, luxurious vacation to the Island of Anguilla in the Caribbean last April.  I mentioned it very briefly back in May and posted my full photos in Facebook but never got the chance to do a writeup.  The reason I feel compelled to now? My sister is going to Anguilla to […]

24 Hour Vacation to See Shamu

by Kristi on February 19, 2009 · 1 comment


My Favorite Picture EVER We took a very short vacation and went down to San Diego on Tuesday night.  We stayed at one of the best hotels ever, Pacific Terrace.  It reminded me of a beautiful Hawaiian hotel with open air hallways and friendly service.  Matt, the desk clerk, was fabulous with recommendations and free […]

Vegas is Out of Control!

by Kristi on May 27, 2006


So, we went to Vegas last weekend with the little one. The car ride was ok. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t perfect. I will spare you the minute details and just say that there was about 45min to 1 hour worth of crying both ways. So, 25% is not that bad. Of course, when […]
