Happiest Place On Earth


We just got back from our trip to Disneyland and Orange County. It truly was the best trip. I loved every minute of it and I think Roman did too. He was such a fun, great traveler and such a happy boy. I loved seeing him smile with all the new experiences.


We traveled with our dear friends, The O'Briens. They have a 16 month old daughter, Hunter and it was so fun to share in the adventure with them. She is such a sweet girl and starting to talk so much. She even calls Roman, "Ro".


We didn't know if Roman would like the rides, but he loved every one of them. He went on the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Carribean, Winnie the Pooh, The Haunted Mansion, Small World, Bug's Life, Buzz Lightyear, the Carousel, and Snow White. We would have gone on more, but we simply ran out of time. We were at the park from 8:00am to 6:30pm and went non-stop.

Here are some of my favorite pics...

One of the cutest rides was Winnie The Pooh. I loved it so much that I got Roman a stuffed animal, Piglet.


Roman was bummed that he couldn't join his Dad on Thunder Mountain. Maybe next time.


A friend from the petting zoo. Roman loved all the furry friends, even though this one got a little close.


It's A Small World. Always such a magical, fun ride. Roman loved all the dolls and stood the entire ride.


The Bug's Life water park at California Disney.


The men were unsuccessful at winning any prizes in basketball.


This lady approached me and asked if she could take a picture with Roman. Not sure what she is going to do with the picture, but I had to take one of them too.


How can you not be happy at Disneyland?


Roman and Hunter had such a fun time together.


The next morning we had breakfast at our hotel with the characters. We loved staying at The California Disney resort. It is so convenient. Roman had fun meeting all the characters and wanted to touch all their faces.


We went to the pool for the day on Friday. We call Roman our little waterbug since he just loves being in the water. His favorite is the backstroke.


We stayed in the pool for so long that I ended up getting a very nice burn on my back and shoulders.


The guys loved the waterslide.


We then headed to Dana Point to hang out with The Kellings for 2 days. We had an awesome time walking around Laguna Beach, BBQing and hanging out at the St. Regis. Melissa and Steve joined us Saturday night and it was a night filled with lots of laughter and stories.


Hanging at the St. Regis.


My little man just made me smile all weekend. It was such an awesome trip. Can't wait to go again.
