California Vacation

We had a fabulous trip to California this past week. Owen was awesome and loved getting to go to Disney and Legoland. Highlights are below!

This was Owen's first plane ride if you don't count the many, many trips he took while I was pregnant. He loved riding on the plane and had to have the window seat so that he could look out the window. Bryan and Owen being very mature and pretending to throw up in the barf bag

Owen and I outside our hotel in LA.

Owen on Colonel Sanders lap at Universal Walk. There was the cast of a Telemundo movie there and it was madness!!!!!!!!!!! The only place I could get into to get food was a combo Pizza Hut/KFC. And so Owen waited with the Colonel while I stood in line for WAY too long.

On Monday Owen and I made the LONG drive to Legoland. Somehow I didn't realize that it would take so long but was stuck going because it was what Owen was looking forward to the most. We had rented a Jeep for the week and it was so incredibly loud that Owen and I had to scream to hear each other. So it was actually kind of nice to just ride without having to answer a million questions for once :)

Owen loved Legoland. The weather was really cool and there were zero lines so we actually went on just about every ride in a day. He spent all of the money that Mimi and Popi gave him for his birthday on Legos while we were there and played with them every night at the hotel.

Owen and Darth Vader. (I'll spare you the pictures of Owen and every single character but he insisted on me getting a picture with each).

Owen and a Bionicle. He made me take this picture so that we could show his cousin Cameron :)

On Tuesday, Owen and I went to the Observatory at Griffith Park to go to the Pleanetarium. It was beautiful up there (despite the LA smog) and we got a view of the entire city. Owen liked the movie at the planetarium and of course had to get a pic with his favorite planet, Uranus :)

That night we went and hung out with Ashley and her family in Santa Monica and it was great to catch up with her and for Owen to get to play with some kids!!

Bryan finished up his conference on Weds around lunchtime and then we drove up the PCH to Malibu and hung out at the beach. It was chilly but absolutely beautiful!!! We saw dolphins swimming out in the water and Owen of course ended up soaking wet.

Owen in our Jeep that he projectile vomited in on the way to drop it back off. Long story........

Thursday and Friday were spent at Disneyland and Owen had a blast. The weather was perfect and the lines were super short which was perfect for a four year old. On Friday we ended up at the park until midnight and Owen got to see the fireworks show. It was a fantastic trip and I can't wait for our next vacation!!!
