5 Day Vacation!!!

Day 1-Sept-3-09

Ok so it's time for Vacation!!!! We needed a vacation from life and so we took one! 5 amazing days in Beautiful California. We woke up at 2am and were off by 3:15AM and drove to Newport/Irvine California dropped off our bags and went straight to Disneyland and California Adventure. It was so fun!! We did a lot of other fun stuff too. It was so relaxing and fun!! We were on our own timing and just did whatever we wanted to do. California Adventure!!! We started here because Bryan had never been here. And Nancy gave us 2 free park hopper tickets!!! WOW!! Thanks so much Nancy!! We didn't realized how much it costs to get into Disneyland 92$ per adult!!!!! WOW!!! So thanks again for hooking us up Nancy!! That helped big time on the cost of our trip.

The temple was seriously 3 min. away from our hotel!! Perfect!!

Day 3- Sept-5-09

Ok today we laced up our tennis shoes and headed to the LA Fashion District!!

We spend from 12-5 shopping!! I know Bryan went with me and didn't complain! He actually liked it!! He doesn't go shopping a whole lot so it was fun for him plus he got some smokin' deals on a nice belt, tie, shirts and socks. After we went to dinner with a friend of ours Jeff at an Argentine resturant. Bryan and Jeff both went to the same mission in Argentina so they were in heaven. I love the food too so it was fun for me too!!! It was a great day full of walking, shopping and getting deals!!!

You always have to get a hot dog here because they smell soooooooo good, they are wrapped in bacon and topped with the works {cooked onions& peppers, avacado and pico.}

SOOOOOO YUMMY!!!The madness!!!

They sale to the Public only on Saturdays!! Can you tell???
Dinner at Pampas Cafe- Argentine food yummo!

Jeff eating the panitos with chimchori

Empanandas!!!!

So I'm not fond of the name of this perfume but it smelt so good and it was $15 for the whole package!! DEAL!!!

Our new Treasures!!! These are all the DEALS we got!!!

Day 4- Sept-6-09

We went to church at 9am at the church building across the street from the temple since it was 3 mins. from our hotel. It was fun!! Bry saw some guy he sits really close to a work on vaction with his family and I sat next to a new girl in the ward. She had just got married a month ago and baptized 2 years ago from California and she knows Stacia Ray (Rogers) who was one of my young women when I was Laurel Advisor after my mission!!! Small world!!

We caught on some much needed sleep and took a good long nap then we went to my cousin Amber and Shannon Stewart's house in Compton. They just moved there 3 months ago and into a really nice 4 bedroom house in a new gated community. We at some delicious BBQ ribs, brisket, baked beans and potato salad. It was really good!!! And not just because we had been fasting. They actually bought it at some BBQ place that is always packed. It was really nice to see them. I just love Amber she is so full of life and so bubbly and happy. Her husband, Shannon is so nice and funny too!! We had a great time!! After dinner I taught Amber how to start a Blog and got her own. Then we went to Newport Beach {in the dark} and to a nice relaxing walk on the sand. It was so nice!!!

Bryan is a natural!! Jr. cuddled up real quick to Bry!!!
He is going to be a great dad someday!!

Me and my 3 month old little cousin!! Shannon Jr.

SOOOOO CUTE!!!

{Sophi- my cousins dog - she loved playing with us}

We went on a walk a night at Newport Beach!!

My Bryan- he is so cute!!

I think I made him blind after this picture in the dark!! Sorry babe!!

Me by the Ocean
we were messing with the camera to see what would actually show up in the dark. Well this is it! You can kind of see the waves behind me!!

Day 5 - sept-7-09

The view from our hotel!! Not the greatest because it was across the street from the John Wayne airport in Cali but we got a smokin' deal!! Yes it is true!! There is a street named after my man!!!!

And they spelled it RIGHT!!! So cool!!

Eating Pumkin Pancakes at "Pancakes R Us" Never heard of it before either but it came up as the closest IHOP on the GPS. It was good and cheaper that IHOP.

This is what it looks like "while driving" at 6:45pm in Sept. This was my attempt to take a picture of the amazing sunset over downtown Phoenix.

This trip was Awesome!! Bryan drove the whole time and thanks to mom and dad Hatch for the GPS we didn't totally lost the whole time! thanks
