california dreaming

We did it...we took a vacation! After a two year "famine" in the Bull household, we finally had a small "feast" we like to refer to as a vacation. Our vacation was fun, relaxing, and in my eyes pretty much perfect. I am so protective of the time I get to spend with my family, and it feels like with each passing year this time is less and less. So to have seven entire days alone together was just what my doctor ordered.

(We spent 7 glorious days in Southern California. Four of those days we spent at Disneyland, which by the way completely got it's very own post....stay tuned.)


After we cashed in some "Reward Miles" that were about to expire (which is so me to let a gift card or reward card almost expire) we boarded a plane for California to see our Scott and Larissa and to play play play.


We had our very own Beach Resort to stay at. Our resort came with a private pool, hot tub, and friendly faces of our family.


We picniced at the beach in the perfect 80 degree weather that came with our trip.


We played in the ocean and the sand. Seth got his first touch of the ocean and never looked back. No literally, he never looked back. He had no fear of the water and just wanted to go out farther and farther. Same for our Ly Ly...she was having the time of her life.


We had a major break through with our Ly Ly and dogs. We owe Brody big time! I would have never thought I would be looking at a picture of Lyza actually sitting within 10 yards of any kind of dog. She has a paralyzing fear of them, however, one week with Brody and they are life long pals. ("Brody....Brody....Whoa"...inside joke, love it.)


To say we had a great time is understating it a bit. I can never get enough of my party of four. I wish every day was a vacation day.



And did I mention...in my next life I am totally going to live here!!
