So this past weekend, Chris and I went to California with our friends, Jill and Joe Hansen. And no kids! We had a blast! We flew out Thursday and landed in San Diego. It was beautiful. We ate lunch at the Seaport Village, and walked around and looked at the huge cruise ships, and the navy boat. The navy boat was awesome, because there was a little restaurant on one end, and other planes sitting on top. It was amazing to see how big those boats really are! This picture is really fun because by the navy ship they had this huge statue of a navy man and a nurse kissing before he left. It was so fun for us to pose like they did. We are not too far away from it, so you can tell how big the statue really is!
We bummed around for a little bit, and then drove to San Clemente where our hotel was. That night we went to dinner at the Fisherman's Wharf. Its basically a restaurant that is out on the pier. It was so fun to have dinner and watch the ocean and waves. There were also people "trying" to surf, but the waves were kinda choppy.
Our restaurant...

The beach was beautiful!
The next day we drove to Disneyland!! It was so fun to go without kids, because we didn't have to worry about waiting in lines and entertaining them. The nice thing was that in the morning, we walked onto every ride. If we waited in line it was 5-10 minutes max! The other fun part was that it was the first day of Halloween in Disneyland. They had the whole park decorated for Halloween. It was so cute! Also the Haunted Mansion was totally different. They changed everything inside to make it the Nightmare before Christmas. I think it is way better than the original.
Mickey pumpkin style
They had these cute jack-o-lanterns in the grass.
Way cute sign in California Adventure!
We went over to California Adventure for part of the day too. Since I was the preggo one, I mostly sat and took pictures of everyone else on the rides. So when it was a ride that I could go on, I made them go like 5 times! We went on Grizzly Rapids, and I got soaked! This was me after I got wet. Everyone else stayed relatively dry that time...
The next day we bummed at the beach for a while, and then that night went to an Angels baseball game! It was a lot of fun, even though they got creamed! Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so I will have to rely on Jill for the pictures of that one! Thanks Jill!
That night we played cards at the hotel, and then went to bed. We got up the next morning and flew home. It was a fun weekend getaway, and was so nice to go without kids. Madison had a blast at my moms house, and didn't want to come home with us Sunday night. I'm glad we were able to take a little trip just us before the next baby. We realized that we definitely needed it! Thanks mom and dad for watching Maddie the whole weekend! We couldn't have gone without you guys! Love You!!
