Family Roadtrip Vacation! (Part I)

We had a WONDERFUL family vacation up the coast of California in May.  It was a 9 day road trip and was a huge success.  There are so many fun things to see and do in Northern and Southern CA and we tried to soak it all up!  Here is part I of II of all the photos (there is a lot)!

We started with a band and a stop in Anaheim and Disneyland!  It was fun that our friend, Daniel, could join us! 

Next we hit San Jose and got to see 3 sets of friends.  We stayed with Colette and her family and had a very fun and relaxing visit!

Then we were off to Monterrey, CA.  We visited their lovey aquarium and thoroughly enjoyed our gorgeous hotel and balcony literally overlooking the ocean.  Great stop on our trip!

Taking It All In

There is always something going on in the Rini household.  We try to take advantage of  all San Diego has to offer and spend time as much time as possible with our friends and family.

We visited the lighthouse on Point Loma with Grandpa while he was in town.  It was not a typical warm San Diego day, but we had fun none the less!

Who doesn't love a little ice cream?!

Little cake anyone?

Spending time with our twin friends, Tristan & Madison, and Cindy.  We went to the aquarium and picnic on the beach.

First mountain hike with Daddy.  Only a "couple" of falls supposedly.

Easter Weekend Away

We had a great weekend away in Arizona for the Easter holiday.  We saw GG, Grammy, Grandma Barbara, and Uncle John.  It was perfect weather and a great time as always!!

BUNK BEDS!

Big news in the Rini household...not only did the boys move to big boy beds, but they got BUNK BEDS!  They are very excited about the change.  As you can imagine they both want to be on top, so we switch every night to make things fair.  It's working out so far!  Next up...new bedding.  Mom will work on that next!
