So Cal Vacation

Disneyland and California Adventure

We took a trip to southern California for a family reunion trip uniting the Wilson, Wilson, and Scott clans. Since Gary and Coby are back state-side, we thought that it would be a great opportunity to hang out and be tourist where most of us were born.

We started off by staying with my Dad and Susie at one of their timeshares. It was a fabulous condo right down the street from Disneyland—you could not have asked for a better location. Let’s just say we watched Disneyland’s fireworks from our balcony!

Huntington Beach

We spent one day at Huntington Beach where Castle Grandpa and Ashlyn out performed Castle Courtney and Dax. We went with the strong multiple outer wall tactic while they went for height--height was way better! Our castle was nonexistent while their's stood even after we left and I'm sure it's still probably there.

Sea World and the USS Midway

After our time with family, we extended our trip to include a jaunt to San Diego. We took the girls to Sea World (which they loved) and walked around the Gaslamp district (which they loved...not so much). We ate at an amazing Mexican restaurant and found a store devoted to cupcakes. Needless to say, Becky and the girls were in heaven. We made an unplanned stop at the USS Midway. Ummm....amazing! You must see it! I was like a little kid running around looking at all the aircraft and equipment. It was really neat to see especially since we knew that Ed had landed on this carrier when he flew in the Marine Corps.

Mission Viejo

Last but not least, we visited some of our friends in Mission Viejo. We hung out with Snyder's and got to meet Kody for the first time. We also visited Stonecreek and reunited with many friends of ours from our old church.
