Christmas in Cali

Ocean Beach in SF...my dad used to go there as a boy to hang out and surf. Pretty cool. We went to Fresno for Christmas and spent time with my parents. Then we went to San Francisco for a day, hence this picture, and had a great time there. I don't have any pictures from Fresno-my mom took all of them with her camera. But we had a ffaabbuulloouuss time!

Magical Birthday!

For my grand ascension into my 30s(which was waaaaay back on November 30th, I have procrastinated tremendously with this), I decided a trip to Disneyland was appropriate...but since I have taken Brandon to a Disney park 6 times in the 5 1/2 years we've been dating, he put his foot down to only go for very special occasions...which then leads me full circle to my 30th birthday! Hahahaha! Keaton and Sara came along for the fun and splendor and we had a most magical time in a very special land of wonders...:)


Tower of Terror!Brandon researched the secrets for how to get a high score in the Buzz Lightyear Space Blasters ride (which was his favorite) and we did boys vs. girls a few times...this is him and Keaton fighting us off while they discuss the secrets...we never did beat them...

Telling the secrets...

Gazing adoringly at each other...this team has perhaps become toooooo close...

The Matterhorn...I think this one is my favorite...it's so old-school, and the abominable snowman is soooo awesome!
