You gotta love Disney

As we talk about this being our last visit, I can't believe how magical Disney is for the children. Character breakfast and thrill rides delight EmmaKate.

Ahhh Vacation is over!

Well, nine days is a long time for a vacation but it is always sad to go home.  We are missing the children and our family&friends terribly!  On Saturday, we left our beautiful Pebble creek room and, after a nice lunch at a Greek place in Carmel, we made the long drive down route 1 winding around mountains until we were sick.  The scenery was indescribable!  I made Brad stop at this one place called Jade Cove. It is one of the only places in the U.S. you can actually fine Jade.  So... I spent like an hour collecting rocks that look like Jade.  I think I actually got a few good ones.  We will see.  We will be happy to get home tonight!

Beautiful California

Brad and I enjoyed a week in Sunny San Francisco and the Monterey Penninsula.  Brad really enjoyed the golf and I really enjoyed the views and the relaxing time off! We are lucky and thankful to have a family who can take the children for a while.  Thanks everyone!

We saw a fortune cookie factory, visited Alcatraz and enjoyed delicious seafood in fisherman's wharf.

Happy Holidays 2010

What an eventful end to the year.  We had a great holiday although it was a bit different than we thought.  Brad's uncle Bernard got to visit from California but he had to go into the hospital for the holiday and we missed him terribly.  He will now be staying in the area however and it will be fun for the children to see him all the time.  He is doing much better now.

The seasons top 10 gifts included itouch, an ATAT(from star wars), sports Jerseys, Barbie Kareoke and Barbie Cruise Ship.

The trees were huge!

The views were spectacular!  We visited the top of Heavenly Ski Slope and overlooked Emerald Bay.

We hiked down to this bay and saw the Vikingholm castle.

Although it was beautiful, the water was freezing.  That didn't stop us from renting a 

boat and jumping in the water! We also did this paddle boat dinner cruise.
