I am beyond behind on a post about our vacation, but I have been so busy with an active baby lately ;)
We had the awesome opportunity to go to Disneyland... just Tay and I. Crazy I know, but so worth it! My parents lovingly watched sweet Elcie, which we are beyond grateful for.
For our honeymoon we kept it simply and cheap, so we chose the coast. Which was very romantic as our first get away. Ever since, our trips have been very simple as well. So I wanted to do something "big" to celebrate our third anniversary coming up along with getting away before we add another baby! Of course I rooted for Disney, and Tay liked the idea!
We dropped Elcie off the day before we left, and it was easier than expected. I drove half way (twelve hour drive) and Tay drove the rest. We learned VERY quickly that we are not fond of California drivers haha. There really is a difference between California and Oregon drivers. This became a joke quickly, but also became stressful very quickly! I had begged Tay to stop in Beverley Hills, because who wouldn't?!
This was a short in and out of Beverley Hills because we looked like true tourists, and were too stressed haha. You could say we are too used to small town living!
We arrived at the hotel around three and made reservations for dinner at Rain Forrest Cafe.
(Thanks to our sweet friends Joshua and Katie for the gift card!)
It was SO nice being able to get dressed up for my hubby and not tending to a baby at the same time. Just very relaxing but it also made me miss our angel ;)
The first day we chose to go to California Adventures (we didn't purchase a park hopper)
We arrived at opening time, and left at seven..... yes we did not stay till close like I imagined we would haha. We enjoyed this park, especially Cars Land, but I will say next time we will purchase a park hopper. If you spend a whole day at California it can get old quickly as there is not a ton of rides.
Seriously though I cannot get over how awesome Cars Land is.
The next day we went to Disney and the first thing we had to do was go to Star Tours... for my husband ;)
His excitement was the sweetest thing to watch, especially because he is my handsome nerd ;)
This picture makes me laugh every time... Our goal was to "make the ugliest faces" but of course they were blocked so we failed ;) But I enjoyed this picture because of the little kids in the front hahah. We may have been apart in freaking them out... just maybe ;)
After Splash Mt. my handsome old man was ready to sleep haha. This ended our Disney trip but it didn't end our In N Out trips!
By the time we were on the road headed home I was SOOOO ready to see our baby. I missed her so much and could not wait to kiss and hug her!
We picked her up the next day and then immediately got back on the road to go camping.... what were we thinking?!?
It was so great though getting together with my side of the family and just relaxing instead of walking a couple miles a day like you do at Disney. When packing for camping since it was our first time with a baby; I wanted feeding time to be EASY. Since she eats two solid meals a day and the rest formula. So I gave in and bought oatmeal (I am a little picky what I feed her since we had to do formula). Of course it couldn't just be easy in the sense of not having to cook oatmeal but I also wanted serving her to be simple.
Nuby has a garden fresh squeeze feeder that I wanted to use specifically for this trip.
This product was beyond amazing, super simple and quick! It has measurements on the side of the squeezer and I was able to just shake the mixture of oatmeal and water and feed her within less than a minute -which is perfect for my impatient monster-;) I am very happy with this feeder and highly recommend you momma's trying it out!
It was so easy Tay even fed her ;) If you have any questions feel free to ask!
I received this product for a review, all thoughts and opinions about this product are my own. Thank you for joining along my journey of parenthood.
