The Daily Dish: Our Annual Trip to California

Published April 19, 2023 - The Daily Dish

Spring is such a beautiful time of year, and one of my favorites because we get to spend time with my whole family in California! My sister Sarah moved there years ago, and since we only see her twice a year, (Christmas and Easter), we truly savor every moment together! This year we celebrated not only Easter together, but my sister Sarahs birthday with a trip to Disney! We spent four full days together, and we packed every moment with memories! Here's a look inside our trip.... The best part of the trip is seeing all the cousins reunited again! The oldest of our three kids are about 6 months apart, so we call them the "GEM's" Gabriel, Easton, and Maddie! They always have the best time together!

We also got to meet a new member of my sisters family, their new puppy Buddy!

Dana Point was beautiful as usual, so the kids started off with time at the pool and beach!

Next up, we went to a farm called Zoomar's farm. It's a combination of a petting zoo, rides, and pony rides! Every kids dream!

On Easter Sunday we went to my sisters church called Oceans church! It was such a wonderful service celebrating our Savior!

After church we went to the Montage for brunch, which has become an Easter tradition!

The brunch is always beautiful, but even more so, spending this time with my family is so treasured!

Sarah had a bunch of fun actives for the kids when we went back to the house.

The Easter bunny showed up...

The kids had an easter egg hunt...

And they decorated cookies!

On the last day we went to Disney to celebrate Sarahs birthday!

We had a "meet the characters brunch" which was a great start to the day!

Maddie's favorite part was meeting the princesses of course!

And the boys loved Star Wars.

We finished the day with the 100 year celebration fire works, which were absolutely incredible!

Before we knew it, the trip was over, and we had to say goodbye until next time! It's always so hard to say goodbye, knowing we wont t be together again until next Christmas, but as I said, we packed so many memories into one week, and they will be held close until we are together again!
