Over Memorial Day my family spent a week in one of our favorite places, San Clemente, CA. It was sooo much fun and the perfect way to start summer.
Our first morning there we walked down to the pier to watch the surfers.
After our walk we headed straight to the beach for the entire day - and we got FRIED - like can't walk, can't talk, hurt so bad you want to cry, fried. But we still had a fun day!
The boys spent many hours playing Smash Ball
And we played lots of frisbee
Our first day there was Memorial Day and a guy spent hours sculpting this
That night we went over to the Irvine Spectrum for dinner and shopping
We love Rainbows in our fam, so we always have to go pick up a new pair but this year was the first year we signed the huge flip-flop!
Seeing as how we all got so burned the before, this is how we laid out the next day!
It was so fun having little baby Tee on the trip!
Later on we went over to South Coast Plaza for more shopping and to eat at my parents favorite restaurant Claim Jumper.
Wednesday was DISNEYLAND! My all-time FAVORITE place in the world - no joke! I seriously was counting down the days until we got to go! And as usual, it did not disappoint! It really is the happiest place on earth!
Our fav thing to do is to take funny pics on the rides
Tower of Terror is THE BEST
Dole Pineapple Whip - can you say YUM?!
Turkey legs - can you say GROSS?!
While us big kids went to D-Land - Bud, Lize and Tommy stayed in San Clemente. I had to share this pic because I love it - cutie Tom's.
Thursday we decided to brave the beach again and actually lather on sunscreen this time!
Our Lou's love to hang out with us
That night we went over to Newport for dinner at Blue Beet (thanks Moffitt's for introducing us to it). It was so good and we happened to go on a night where everything was six bucks! Score!
After dinner we walked around gorgeous Newport
The pier and beaches are so fun and pretty
My cutest papa
We all loved playing with Tee
Friday was my cousin
Kerry's wedding!
It was so much fun going to the LA Temple - so pretty!
After the temple we drove around Santa Monica and Beverly Hills and then got some In N Out. Fun times when you spill it all down your dress - NOT!
Her wedding was in Camarillo at the Maravilla Gardens and it was gorgeous - to see more pictures look at her feature on
Ruffled. It was the perfect California, summer wedding and Im so glad we were able to go!
Having too much fun with the photo booth
Saturday was our last day so we stayed at the beach for as many hours as we could!
Twinners
That night we walked around the shops in San Clemente and ate at Selma's.
Me and Meg were twinsies
Our drive home - 7 of us in a suburban with us 3 squished in the back for some reason, good times!
We had so much fun and were soo sad to leave! I'm already counting down until next year and dreaming of the beach, Disneyland, Pedro's Tacos, Surfin' Donuts, The Bagel Shack, shopping and more. Can't wait!
