CALIFORNIA

Ok, so we all survived the trip to California...BARELY!! LOL!! It sure is INTERESTING traveling with a toddler. This was Jastyn's first plane ride and trip actually. She did pretty well on the plane ride to California. Possibly because it was 7:00 in the morning and I had to wake her up to leave the house. The flight back was an entirely different experience. She didn't get a nap before the flight. So I'm thinking she will just sleep the whole flight. RIGHT!! What was I thinking?? She couldn't hold still to save her life. She was screaming and squirming and standing up pestering the other passengers. Luckily there was an older couple behind us that entertained her a bit.
I think Jastyn's favorite part was Sea World. She really liked the "BELIEVE" show with the Killer Whales. She also liked meeting the characters at Sea World and Disneyland. She would just go up and give them all hugs. SO CUTE!!! We dressed her up as Cinderella at Disneyland and we got lots and lots of compliments. Her little cousin, which is 5 months older, was dressed up as Tinker Bell. And apparently the orientals worship blondes and red-heads. I can't even count how many times we got asked if they could take or get their pictures taken with our little kids. WEIRD!!
It ended up being a pretty expensive vacation for us, even more so than we thought. We were at Sea World watching the dolphin show. Well, we walked in a little late so we didn't really hear them mention that we'd get soaked. So, my husband had the video camera out and I was on my cell phone when out of nowhere...SPLASH!! We were DRENCHED and so was the video camera and cell phone. Both of which are ruined now. LOVELY!!
OH!!! And we went on the Celebrity homes tour in Hollywood. After the tour we decided to go back and try to find some of the homes again. We found Dr. Phil's house and we sitting there admiring his Tuscan-style home when we look up on the balcony and see Robin waving at us. She went into the house and came out again with Dr. Phil. He talked to us for a bit. It was pretty cool!!
I plan on posting some pics of our vacation ASAP so check back if they aren't posted yet.
