A Much-Needed Vacation!

With the busyness of our everyday life, we need a vacation to get away from the muggy Houston weather. We decided to pay a visit to Los Angeles, CA! The City of Angels welcomed us with a cool 63-degree, sunny weather and a nice breeze! We enjoyed plenty of the local eateries (Griddle Cafe, Pink's Hot Dog, Ketchup, Farmers Market, Sprinkles Cupcakes) and shopping at The Grove and visited the nearby City of Santa Monica. Too bad we didn't run into any celebrities!

On Julie's birthday (10/4), we spent the day at Disneyland in the neighboring City of Anaheim. Elise was very excited to see Mickey Mouse and the rest of the Disney cast. We managed to get on most of the kid-friendly rides without spending much time waiting in line. Elise's favorite ride was the Teacups aka "Mad Tea Party" while Ethan cooed every time he saw the colorful decorations around the park.

We had so much fun on this trip and Ethan was wonderful on the plane. Absolutely no crying. He's a professional traveler now. We're already planning our next family trip!
