We were so lucky to be able to go spend a week with the Carter family at a house in Huntington Beach. It was a week of sun, sand, Disneyland, fun with family, some relaxing and great food including Cafe Rio!!! We also went to Hollywood and Santa Monica. We had such a great time and can't wait to go again!
We started our drive after work hoping that Preston might sleep on the way down. That didn't happen but we did have some good moments.
And we're off! Preston's first real road trip
If you've ever driven through Central CA you know how smelly it gets. Preston thought it was hilarious when we'd say "pee-yew"
We loved the beautiful sandy beach and ocean. Preston loved getting in the water.
It was a little cold sometimes-Snuggling up with Momma
Playing in the waves with Dad
Sand is pretty cool too
Sunbathing Beauties-Hillary, Dee, Tatiana and Lani
Siblings
Group shot-Aaron with Preston, Me, Landon, Hillary, Tatiana and Wes
One night we went to Main St in Huntington Beach and went to eat at a Mexican Restaurant.
The Whole Family-LOVE this picture!
Preston really wanted to close this door while we waited to be seated
Walking down Main St
On Saturday night Lani and the boys went to a Padres game so the rest of us stayed back and made a nice homemade dinner. It was so delicious and nice to relax at home!
None of us had been to Hollywood before so we had to go. I was surprised at how run down and yucky it was. At least I can now say I've been there!
The Walk of Fame (which I had no idea went on forever!)
I was also surprised at how small the hill of the Hollywood sign is. I guess the movies make everything look bigger and better!
Capital Records in the background
My boys :) in Hard Rock Cafe which we didn't eat at
Preston was so happy to see Mickey Mouse since he knew all about him from Disneyland.
I was so happy that Lauren was able to meet up with us and hang out for a few hours. Too bad we didn't take any pics together!!
At the Kodak Theatre
After Hollywood we headed over to Santa Monica
Beautiful sunset at Santa Monica Pier
Preston saw this balloon and immediately ran over to it and was so excited. I asked how much and the lady said "If anyone asks, it was $15" and hands it to me. She gave us a $15 balloon! That lit up and had another balloon inside! Preston was so happy.
At the end of the pier with the lit up carousel
A snapshot of the house we stayed at. It was awesome and had a hot tub in back. Thank you Carter's!!!!

I can't believe you didn't post that picture of us. It's sooo cute! Seriously though, why do never take pictures with my friends anymore.
I'm glad you had a good trip. Anna is so tan and I love the picture where you have not head.
SOOOO FUN! You look so pretty and your little guy is so big. What a fun trip.
