Well we made it to the beach! We got off to a late start leaving the house (surprise surprise) then as we stopped for lunch and for cash at the bank The Hubs heard air coming from the tires. Earlier this season he had flat tires one morning when him and The Boy were on a trip for baseball. So we knew it had to be addressed. We did not want to have a blow out or flat on the side of the road so we stopped by Les Schwab and took care of he tires. Nothing $600 wouldn’t fix! 
Luckily we were close to a Wetlands area that has hiking trails and board walks that we took advantage of and went for a 3.5 mile walk around the wetlands. Then we were on our way a couple hours later it only took is about 7 hours to get here and usually takes 1.5-2.

We were met by our neighbor camper who was on his second ‘Margameeta’ he liked watching us set up because we were a young couple and young couples always have cool gadgets! I think it will be a fun week of camping. I love the waves and the sound of the ocean. Can’t wait for our typical yoga and kite flying sessions out on the beach tomorrow!

I love vacation!

Well, we have arrived home on Christmas Night. Before we left California we had a nice-ish Christmas dinner (The Hubs normally make prime rib and that is the bomb so that is the reason for the ‘ish’). The flight was fine but The Girls suitcase did not make it down the ramp to baggage claim. So hopefully it will be delivered unharmed tomorrow but if not then we will have to buy her a new wardrobe. I helped pack her  suit case with the extra  stuff she didn’t know she needed. Oh well a shopping trip is in order. There actually are new boots for her under the tree from her Auntie.

My heart is happy. I hope yours is too. If your kids opened gifts and gave you a warm fuzzy feeling I hope it lasts longer than the toys work and get played with and longer than the new clothes fit. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to take the kids to Disneyland for this Christmas! We made memories that will last a lifetime! Christmas is about drawing back to your family. Whatever accomplishes that for you..a church service, gifts or a trip, I say do and do it big! Hug your kids and your parents hard and long. Kiss your partner or spouse and fuck hard and long! Take this moment to reflect and be in it! Live and love to the fullest. Say I love you, out loud, to your family. If you traveled get home safe and take these moments with you and savor these memories!

I look forward to my own bed and pillow and my husband naked beside me and inside me. (Leave it to me to make a sappy Inspirational post about sex.) Merry Christmas everyone!

Magic of Disneyland

It is Christmas Eve! Today was our last day in the Disney Parks! {Sad face} we had a blast. It was very memorable. We celebrated Christmas and family and fun together! It was amazing I loved every minute of it. Now, today there were a few more tension filled moments due to lack of sleep and tiredness and lack of proper nutrition and eating habits. But, it was still amazing.

I am so happy we decided to do this trip with the family. I may regret not taking more photos at the perfect photo op stations like the entrance to Disneyland, you know where Mickey’s head is designed in the flowers as you come through the gates. But of that is the only regret I am flying high. I loved how the Hubs just ran with the flow of the last few days! He was the guy I fell in love with! Amazing what the non stress of vacation will do for us!

I can’t say enough of how happy I am with my little family. It does not feel like Christmas Eve tongiht but I have so much love bubbling over it is okay with me. I love Christmas and I believe we got the true meaning of “Christmas” right here. Connecting with each other and just being in the moment to enjoy each other! Gift and presents under the tree don’t bring what we got this week! I am going to bed not waiting or expecting Santa tonight. I am going to bed smiling because what matters is family and love and we have that, we always have we just had to step back and see it and for this I thank the magic of Disneyland!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Today was our first day in Disneyland of our Christmas Vacation! We had so much fun! It did rain but hey, we are from Western Washington we are used to the rain! We rode Splash Mountain early and I took the front seat and proceeded tobget my pants soaked! They just got somewhat dry the pockets and seems are still damp! We we there from about 7:30a to 11:30p. We rode Star Tours, Space Mountain, The Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones twice!

The longest wait was at the Matterhorn a total of 1 hour and that included about 15 minutes for a shut down for a quick repair. While there we spoke with the head Maintenance guy. He told us silly jokes and then after he gave us VIP access to skip the line for Peter Pan and then gave us a front the line pass for anything ride we wanted. It was so sweet what a nice guy he was, Thanks to Jeff!

We had a great day! Loved it all. The kids did awesome! They were well behaved enjoyed themselves, didn’t fight too much. The Hubs really was amazing too! I love it when we can just go with the flow and really be in the moment! Loved it!!!

One of the best Christmas’s ever!

We are at Disneyland!!!! We woke the kids up at 2am to get them ready to get on an airplane. They were still not sure they were really going we fibbed quite a lot recently to cover our surprise, which made the kids question our sincerity of our story that we were actually going to Disneyland. Today after we got to Cali, we went to Downtown Disney atr at ESPN Zone (YUM!) and watch the new Star Wars movie. I had a hard time not falling asleep during the movie, not because of the movie but just because of my lack of sleep lately. The movie was good.

Tomorrow we head into Disneyland the actual park! I am excited. I am trying push through the annoyance of being in close quarters with the in laws and the way our kids act with Gma around. Who’s kids are these anyway?! I am determined, despite that drama in my head, we will have fun. I just need to remind myself of the fact that it is not a competition for the children’s love… It is about fun and making memories!

It is time to stop and smell the roses…or stop and admire the sparkles and the decorations and the smells and memories! I have high hopes for this trip I need to just take it and enjoy whatever happens!

I love my family!

Seahawks won today’s game! It was a good game. The kids went to their Great Grandma’s house. As we got their age says, “so, have you figured out where you’re going?” They didn’t know they were going anywhere!!!! Leave it to Grandma Great to ruin a good surprise. She is a bit flaky these days, obviously.

Anyway, I have gotten about 6 hours of sleep the last two nights. I am tired. We had a fun full day of football and tonight staying at Grandma Great’s tonight. She lives much closer to the airport than us. We will be waking up at 2am to head to the airport. The kids don’t know for sure what’s up. We are waking them up and going to Disneyland! Getting on a plane and flying there I am so excited but very tired so I am going to make this short!

I plan to video the kids’ reaction to getting up and the news that they’re going to Disneyland! They are not just staying here like they thought. It should be a good surprise! I for one am very excited! But I need to go to bed!

Good night readers, and Merry Christmas!

Up till 5am last night. Now we are trying tobget the kids packed to go to Grandma’s for 5 days and get ready for a secret trip that they don’t know about for Christmas. We still need to pack, wrap Christmas presents that should be been do e already bit you know me… I am super tired.

We have a Seahawk’s game tomorrow. We will leave here early like at 7am which means get up at 5:30 or 6am! Drive around to the kids’ Great Grandparents then head to the game. Come back to grandparents out kids to bed at an early bedtime and then wake the up at 2am to tell them their surprise!

I am so excited I can hardly take it! I have almost blown it a few times today, the Hubs too! It has been a bit tough getting the kids to seriously pack. Their Grandma’s always have extra of everything…

I have so much to I don’t have time to write too much. I am surviving this evening on a Rockstar and shipping on a Sin-namon Roll Drink (Sinfire and Vanilla Cream Soda). We got invited to a party but will be staying home because we need to do as I stated above Clean Wrap and Pack. And have time to have sex because did I mention we are staying with the In-laws on our trip in their RV.

It feels slightly like Christmas Eve which is when we usually wrap gifts and clean. So Merry Christmas everyone! And to All a good night!

The Ocean..my happy calming place

Those are my toes in the sand! Yes, that’s right my vacation is at the Ocean! I love hearing the waves watching the water roll in and the waves crash as the tide is coming in (or going out). I love watching The Boy run and dig for clams (even though they are out of season and I told him not to) I love seeing The Girl checking out the shells and things she finds in the sand. I love watching The Hubs playing in the water and waves just like a kids he is like me, calm around the ocean we both love the water. It is our happy place. I love looking out on the horizon and seeing just water and waves. Even on a cloudy gray day it is so calming and relaxing. I feel so close to God and so spiritual at the beach.

Not to mention the time with the family! We are camping here in our trailer. We eat together and even clean up after meals together. We play cribbage or cards we don’t do this stuff at home, we could but don’t! I just love our Ocean camping trip vacations! Away from all the bullshit of work and house and bills and life in general (at least for a bit).

Everyone needs a vacation like this, even if just for a weekend, we only have 5 days…actually 4. A vacation to be close to your family at a place you can close your eyes and feel your mind and body relaxing with every breath that you breathe in!

Going back to my family!

vacation modeHappy National Tequila Day! What a great day to start my vacation! I am getting the family and our camping trailer ready to leave for vacation on Sunday, today! I am letting the PeeWee football equipment manage itself, later. I got all the gear shipment today that I needed (I think). And we will deliver it to the clubhouse later. I am totally on vacation mode! Pour me a shot sprinkle me some salt and pass me a lime please it is the start of my vacation!

We sadly have to delay officially starting and leaving until Sunday because Grandma Great passed away and tomorrow is her memorial. So we pull out of the driveway for camping Sunday morning. Headed for the Ocean!

I will have my yoga mat in tow, the kids and Hubs are bringing their RC Cars, and kites. I may (but probably not) take my jewelry making supplies. I just want to relax, we have been so busy and life has been crazy it is hard for me to even imagine what it is going to feel like to have no schedule and just be able to relax and not go go go. Not that I don’t like to go go go, but relaxation is definitely needed!

I am thinking first I will be employing Grandma one more night for tonight for the Hubs and I to go out. Since I don’t have to work I think we will spend some time on the customer side of the bar chilling and hanging out with some friends and kicking off the vacation!tequila-day

First things first, pack the trailer, make shopping list for food, eat some dinner (pizza cooking) and freshen up the house before we head west! Enjoy the weekend friends! Cheers to the freakin’ weekend and prefunk vacation!
