Family Vacation

We decided about a year ago, that we wanted to take the family to Disneyland for Fall Break.

We headed south in three cars. Most of us stayed with my sister Diane in San Marcos that first night, while Nicole and family stayed with Chaz's grandma just up the road.

Thursday we left Di's and headed to the beach at Dana Point by San Juan Capistrano which is south of Anaheim. We had our hotel there. Friday and Saturday were filled with California adventure, and then DisneyLand.

We had so much fun being together. Just sitting around at restaurants, the beach and the parks. Hopefully some good memories were created for my kids. I know I had a great time, and pretty sure they all did too!

Here are just a few of the hundreds of photos taken this past week.

The park was all decorated for Halloween, it was fun to be there to see it.

My whole family at the end of a very long few days.

Disneyland was extremely crowded, but thanks to fast passes, and the rider swap passes, our longest wait was about 40 minutes for the haunted mansion. The fast passes are the only way to do Disneyland. Some of the wait time was 75 minutes but on those rides, we waited maybe 10 minutes thanks to the fast passes.

A trip well worth every penny spent!
